Paper beads - do you like making them? Are you ready to make 'paper' beads from a much stronger material but still make the beads the same way as you make paper beads?
This tutorial will introduce you to Tyvek, a very durable, water resistant material that you may not know about unless you are a seasoned crafter.
Paper beads are fantastic of course but these beads go a step further because Tyvek is much more versatile than paper.
The finish you can get with Tyvek beads is really beautiful.
In this video I show you how I create my Tyvek painted papers and how I get the effect you see in the picture.
Tyvek looks and feels like paper, you could even call it synthetic paper. Some of the beads I have made from it really do look like paper beads but they are way more durable because Tyvek is tough.
I did quite a lot of painted designs for this tutorial and I am giving them all away as free printables on my website.
I'm hoping that when you see this video, you will want to get some Tyvek and have a go at making Tyvek beads yourself.
But if you just want to make paper beads instead, you can download my painted Tyvek images, print them off and make regular paper beads.
I've even printed paper bead strips guide lines on some of them so you can cut the strips out more easily.
