DIY Metallic Tyvek Beads | DecoArt®

[@theyarnalist6416]

I lucked into a box of self-sealing Tyvek envelopes that were going to be tossed because the sealant dried out and thanks to your tutorial, have been having a blast turning them into beads. Thanks!!

Everyone needs to be very aware that using new USPS envelopes in a Federal Crime. If you are going to use a large amount of Tyvek go to your local building supply and by a narrow roll of it. Or stop by a building project and see if you can get some of the end cuts for free. There are dozens of uses for Tyvek.

But it was used.

Nice idea!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

They are so beautiful I really enjoyed the tutorial and I'm going to make some myself. I have Tyvek sheets, we don't get tyvek envelopes in the UK 🇬🇧, which is a great shame ☹️🙁😕 thank you so much for sharing this with me

Mags Nash I’m in the U.K. too and purchased a polyurethane postal envelope from my local PO for 85p. Painted white side in metallic acrylics, cut it up as Mark showed and have made a few beads already. NB. I tried it on a piece of dowling and it keep sticking to it. Tried using the wooden skewer and it came off better.

[@eh2179]

Sorry the envelope I bought from PO in U.K. is t Tyvek but it still creates a cool effect. I ended up buying Tyvek A4 sheets of Amazon

[@shakuntala_71]

wonderful idea 😍

[@ingerlisegaarder268]

This was nice beads 🤪

[@lizllanio]

What happens if they get wet? They are beautiful but I'd be concerned if I were to use as charms, I'm afraid it might disintegrate if it gets wet. Can you shed some light?

[@DecoArtPaint]

Normal wear and tear should be fine unless the bracelets soak in water; however, you can definitely add a waterproof sealer to your beads if you want to be double sure.

:) lol now this is so cute ,and I also ran into you Mark .

[@mariaeugeniapolson1339]

gorgeous! thank you for sharing. Please let me know about the tool for melt

[@smedina146]

Its called a heat gun. You can get one from craft stores like michaels, joann, or even home depot. Its a lot like a blow dryer but without all that air -- it just heats. SUPER great tool to have in the craft room.

Where can I buy those metallic paints

[@marilyngray9948]

Where do I get the tyvek envelope or material?

[@cperrry5670]
