Materials List
- Polymer / Ordinary clay
- Tempera paints (other paints maker's choice)
- Polish
- Toothpicks
- Optional (sequins, seed beads)
Instructions
-
Cut small chunks of clay and work to make soft.
-
When warmed up - make a round bead and then squish it and turn it a bit to make it irregular and twisted in shape.
-
Mind not to make thin edges, and those will be made if you squish it right, because they will chip.
-
When done, make a hole with a toothpick, decorate the fimo ones (I added sequins) and let the others air dry (unless you have a clay that needs baking).
-
Bake the fimo. When dried, paint the beads, let dry and afterwards apply nail polish.
