The Envelope Please

The most recent edition of the American Quilters' Society magazine had a short article on various ways to recycle Tyvek envelopes. While I've played with them a little bit in the past, I thought I'd give the technique another go round this week. So, yesterday afternoon I slathered some Lumiere paints on the inside of an old envelope and then left it out in my studio to dry.



I had a little bit of free time this afternoon, so I grabbed my heat gun, and a couple of bamboo skewers and set out to make some tyvek beads.

It really doesn't take much to amuse me!

In about a half hour, I had used up the entire envelope and produced this motley crew:

I hope that by the end of the week I will have put these beads to good use and can show you a semi finished project..........but don't hold your breath!!

YES WE CAN!!!!
