...Lovely! And such clear instructions! Thank you. <br /><br />I just discovered tyvek beads last night and your tutorial was the first I read. Then I went on a mad hunt online to find the colored tyvek cloth bits like you have and I couldn't find them at all. <br /><br />I could find papers (white) -- I could find rolls (hugely expensive. I'll never make THAT many beads) and some worksuits or overalls. <br /><br />I am in the USA but maybe I can find similar to what you have if I know where you got yours so I can look for the right search words:)<br /><br />Lovely! And I look forward to exploring more of your blogSasha Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110853299590421925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-78690405012521537552014-08-07T12:25:23.156+01:002014-08-07T12:25:23.156+01:00Currently studying btec art and design and am goin...Currently studying btec art and design and am going into my secon year and have chosen to focus on textiles, you are a huge inspiration. I have been trying different ways to heat up the tyvek as I haven't been able to get a heat gun just yet. I've been using the flame of a candle and it seems to give a great effect.

I had never heard of this technique, but I am new to a lot of things thanks to Pinterest. <br />I tried my hand and not bad, but I have a long ways to go. Thank you for being so open to imparting your knowledge because no everyone is either willing to tell how they made or give all the instructions. <br />Thank you so much!<br /><br />JanineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062693067003850255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-13868949110600645952012-11-25T21:01:22.481+00:002012-11-25T21:01:22.481+00:00Great tutorial.

I used glue stick on one side of the tyvek before rolling. I like the idea of pinning it.<br />I cut my strips so that they gradually narrow to a point at one end so that when you roll them it creates texture, too. I love how yours turned out - and I'm going to try the metallic thread tonight. Fine job on your tutorial Carolyn!
