- In this video I have a go at making some tyvek beads and they are such fun!
I mention Elaine's channel where she has some amazing tutorials on how to make danglies with the correct jewellery making techniques. There is tons of great information here: / chattylainecreates

That bead is fabulous! I saw Elaine’s videos and I agree, they’re great. I’m thinking of putting beads on my art journal so this is timely. Thanks :)
Thanks Cheryl, yes Elaine's videos are hugely valuable and more people should see them. Ha, bead up your journal!
Oh Cheryl let me know if you have any troubles and I would love to see what you do so please tag me if you put it up on IG 😘😘💕🌼
Years ago I would have worn those in my hair! So pretty🥰 I love them Kari. Loving tyvek it's great stuff👍
Was that during the perm years, LOL?
@@KariGibsonArt it was indeed😳😳😳
What a great technique- I think there may be a surge in people buying tyvek now!! I know I definitely need to get some! Thanks so much for sharing-abs that dangle that you made is beautiful! 💖
Thanks Lisa - oh yes buy some Tyvek while stocks last, LOL.
Another fun project, thanks Kari. I was like ohhhh look at that! When you heated your bead. So pretty too. I love it. Thanks for the link as well. I'm going to learn something new!
Thank you so much Marti, I love how Tyvek reacts to heat, I am glad I managed to get so close with the camera so you could see it happening!
WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 Kari that’s really really stunning and gorgeous too. I really really love ❤️ your Tyvek bead. I really really think 🤔 that it’s brilliant, and when I have time I’ll try to make some to. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks Mags, I am glad you are going to give it a go too, they are great fun and I love the unexpectedness of the results. Stay safe and well too! XXX
It always amazes me how you can get such lovely beads from pieces of paper. I don't craft myself, I don't have the tools or the patience lol. Looks awesome on the edge of your journal. Tfs xo
Thanks Elizabeth, I know, the paper beads are fun. Thanks for watching even though you don't do this sort of thing. I like to try everything, LOL! X
Absolutely STUNNING! Great job at explaining and thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much, Linda, I am glad it was informative, I love th way Tyvek reacts to heat!
Very cool... love the wiggle bit.
Thanks Mariah, Elaine's videos have helped me a lot, although I have a long way to go to be as good as she is with jewellery elements - I am working on that wiggle!
Several years ago you made wonderful tyvek beads and I’m delighted to see your process. Love the small touches that make a project or journal sing.
Thank you so much, Kate, that was quite a while ago, I really enjoy making them, I don't know why I don't do more. The little touches are the fun part in a project, the finessing, I love those.
Awww thank you Kari for recommending my channel you are so sweet 💕💕💕 and yes I saw a little wiggle happen on the jump rings, you did a great job... It does get easier with practice but it's just having to think about it all at once 😉😁 your beads are really pretty and matched the journal exactly your dangle was very pretty too. Well done ❤️ so glad my videos are helpful 😁😁
Thanks Elaine - I hope you got some more traffic to your channel - those videos deserve more views! I shall keep on honing my (ahem) skills with the loops and jump rings!
@@KariGibsonArt yes I do have some lovely new people popping in, thanks so much Kari you are so kind to say so 😘😘❤️
That is so good, Elaine, I am glad to hear it!
Beautiful work! It looks very lovely and fun 😍 👏👏👏👍😊
Have a nice day 😊 ❤️
Thank you! You too, Mary! ❤️😊 ❤️
Another one I missed🤷🏼♀️
What a beautiful bead😍😍
Thanks She, they are so fun to make! 😃💗
Very cool process...love the metamorphosis with the heat!
Thanks Becca - that is the fun bit, LOL!
@@KariGibsonArt yes, the opportunity to play with fire so to speak!
Hi kari i havent tried making beads before I would love to add them to my scrapbook. I like torn edges too. Was so fab to see how to do this xx
Thanks so much Lauren, they would be lovely added to your scrapbook! ❤️😊 ❤️
Really cool way to make beads! Looks so pretty! ✨💗
Thank you, they are lots of fun and you can make so many variations - I need to have some play with them and try some new things out!
@@KariGibsonArt I love that you can make a custom one to fit the aesthetic of the book! 💜🎀
I made some paper beads years ago, and oh man it can be time consuming. They turned out cute. I don't know if my hands could take it anymore. Such a great idea, I may make one or two for my junk journel. And I fumble making them too.
Thanks Lori, they are quite addictive, I made a bunch of plain paper ones recently that I haven't used yet. Maybe as our hands get stiffer, we can just make larger, easier to manipulate ones. I have seen some gorgeous ones that people make that are very elaborate, called boho beads.
@@KariGibsonArt i know I have a touch of corporal tunnel syndrome and some days are worst than others.
Me too, Lori, sometimes I have to stop doing something and let the numbness ease before I carry on and on top of that now arthritis is also becoming a problem. Never mind, it won't stop me yet!
@@KariGibsonArt we can't let it! 😉
Love your technique! Would love to see how you paint the tyvek
Thank you! I just paint it with a light wash of acrylic paints or watercolours - I will show it next time I make some! 💗
@@KariGibsonArt I appreciate that! Many thanks!
Oh goodness me! I don't know what Tyvek is and I don't have a heat gun but, as usual, you have made me want to make these!!!!!
Heheh, you'll love playing with Tyvek, Jane, it's fun stuff. I hope you can find some. 😀❤❤
@@KariGibsonArt Eyes peeled!
Доброе утро! Красиво получилось👍👍👍
Доброе утро спасибо!
❤Beautiful wishes for you success and happiness❤
Thank you! You too!
Loved your video! Can you please tell me what kind of paint you used on the Tyvek? I love the colors and your way of painting it! Reminds me of a watercolor painting. Also, can you remind me of the link for Elaine's channel? Thank you so much!
Thank you! Yes, I think I used quite fluid acrylics, but watercolours would be fine. Elaine's channel is here: czcams.com/channels/vUXa486YM8sKUjuwlmLe_A.html
@@KariGibsonArt Thank you!
Do we put gesso on the tyback before we paint
No, Sherry, just go straight in with the paint, it sort of absorbs into the Tyvek paper.
