Was having a Nina withdrawal and several of your old videos popped up. Sunday morning coffee just wouldn’t be the same. Fantastic idea. Thanks as always.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Robin. The U.K. has been battered by storm Arwen, and as a result our power was off all day yesterday which meant I couldn’t film. Will have a video up mid week instead, the prompt this week is to use either a doily or lace, or of course both 💕

[@lluna1266]

Beautiful effects created. I find that freely playing around with textures and colours can be so therapeutic and enriching for the mind!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank yo7. I have so much fun experimenting with new ideas ❤️

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

What are lovely result. I have made paper beads but they are very labour intensive. A lovely way to display them xx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Tracey Platt These are much easier Tracey because you don't have to be as precise xx

[@elvisisabigsweetie]

Absolutely stunning! I'm blown away with how pretty the colors show up after you shrink it! When I show this to my hubby, who saves his medicine bags for me, he'll probably just grin and never complain about my hoarding, again!!! There is a purpose for my madness I tell him! Hugs, Debra

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+elvisisabigsweetie Thank you! This stuff is so much fun! Hugs xx

[@kimshine4011]

What a neat way to use the paper beads!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Kim Gableson Thanks Kim xx

[@shandap3696]

The outcome is fabulous! I did not expect the impact the product combinations would produce. I am wowed. Most excellent!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment 💕

[@merliththomas4462]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Lori Kramer Thanks Lori. This was fun to make!

[@lorigordon1970]

Such an awesome idea. I love how the beads turned out. The wall hanging is beautiful. Using the tyvek suit instead of envelopes is pure genius. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+lorigordon1970 Thank you. Although I have to give credit for the suit to my mother in laws sister as it was her idea. Love this stuff!

[@susanjones7872]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Maggie, must try Tyvek again soon too 💕💕💕

[@deborahgiles8214]

Wonderful beads. I love the addition of the gold leaf accents. Also love the wall panel/plaque to display the beads.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Deborah. I must give this another try 💕

[@Cyrilmc222004]

WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 Nina, that’s really really stunning and gorgeous too. What a terrific idea 💡. And to make it into a wall hanging is awesome too, because everyone can enjoy it all the time. I have watched this before. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Mags. I must get the Tyvek out again 💕 xxxxx

[@Vonnies1929]

Love this idea thank you as a paper bead fan I am always looking for new things to do with making paper beads thanks a lot!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Yvonne. Happy Creating 💕

[@BettsyDoodle]

Fan-beading-tastic!!! I knew you'd make something wonderful with the Tyvek. The suit stuff looks much easier to work the beads than the envelopes. Tfs. Big hugs,Dee xxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+BettsyDoodle I'm a bit obsessed! Love this stuff!! Big hugs, Nina xxx

[@sharonw2008]

Brilliant Nina, I know the technique of colouring and heating tyvek (leave it flat and heat you will get a fabulous 'pebble' like texture) but never thought of beads, thank you, I learn something new every video! xx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Sharon Walker I'm glad this has given you another idea. Thanks also for giving me one! ☺ xx

[@lyninraleigh1389]

GORGEOUS! I just love it. So many possibilities with this technique.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Lyn inRaleigh Thank you. I am having a lot of fun with Tyvek!

[@carolm4094]

Lovely wall hanging! I love the colors of the sprays. I save tyvek envelopes whenever they come in the mail. I also saved an empty bag of bird food made of tyvek. Think I'll go give this a try. Great tip on heating the beads for texture.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+carol m Thanks Carol. I'm glad you enjoyed this ☺

[@dantarradellas7351]

Wow!!! Fantastic. Thank you.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Lynne Hughes Thanks Lynne. I am having a great time with Tyvek at the moment!

[@lindawinchell4108]

Since they were beads with holes in them you could have also strung some thin copper wire through them and added beads to that in different lengths. How cool is tyvex!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Linda, I have done this with my Boho beads and they look wonderful . I keep meaning to dig my tyvek out and play again 💕

[@louisavevers9709]

I have no idea what tyvek is, so it's fascinating to watch you play!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

I've never heard of Tyvek before, but it's fascinating. You've made a wonderful project with stunning colors. I wonder what Tyvek can do more, and I'm sure you'll be experimenting these days! Thanks Nina! X

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@aljohn]

Hello Nina :) I love how this turned out !!! What a wonderful piece of art you have made there :) I would never have thought to use beads that way :) As for hanging, I would frame it with a piece of white behind ( like you had when you showed it ) and remove the glass, it truly is lovely :) tfs, and Have an Outstanding Day :) amy

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+al john Thanks Amy. I'm going to frame it with another white mount board behind. I also discovered it looks good display in a landscape orientation. Have a great day Amy xx

[@adrinem4513]

This is so fun! I love watching your wall hanging come together. This is such a fun project and I can see experimenting with different types of media like alcohol ink and water colors. I keep tyvek envelopes when they are used to mail something to me and now I have the inspiration to use them. Thanks for this cool idea. I just love your channel!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Adrine. I want to experiment again with Tyvek next year as its such a fun product. Happy creating with your envelopes 💕

[@dianebumback8658]

Love your wall hanging. Your beads are gorgeous. I think in the states we can buy the Tyvek at the business supply store. I will check. I love the beads. Nice project. Tfs Diane xx

You can also get tyvek ground covers for under your tent for camping for not much money as well. The dismantling isn't nearly as time consuming

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

What a great tip! Thank you ❤️

[@crystalwithartitout8821]

I have been thinking about getting some Tyvek also...thanks for sharing!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@katerinamylona8068]

Well, this is absolutely fantastic!!! The colours are also so wowwwwwww!!! Excellent!! Thw truth is that I wasn't familiar with this technique, that you could use this material to do things like that!!! Always learning something new from you my friend, so thank you once again!!! P.S. Just a thought: maybe alcohol inks will work out nicely, too!! Huge hugs and kisses! :)

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Katerina Mylona I will try alcohol inks. Thanks for the idea!! Huge hugs and kisses to you too 😘

[@camsmom916]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Kelly White Thank you Kelly!

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Cool idea, but how do you dust in all the nooks and crannies? You might want to put it in a deep frame with glass or acrylic viewing window so it stays nice and pristine.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

You can always mount it in a box frame. Hope that helps 💕

[@evehamer3490]

Love it 😍

[@lizwiseman48]

That turned out lovely! It’s sort of like modern art, but much prettier. Some modern art......I just don’t get, lol! Well done.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Liz. I must do more with Tyvek!

[@ashphoenix5447]

hi Nina. what a great way to display some beads. those sprays are beautiful. I love how your project turned out. have you run out of wall space to display your projects or do you rotate them out?

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

+Ashs Vision Not that many of my own projects are displayed on my wall. Although I am going to frame this.
