Clay Beads

Posted 2013-10-05 by Jane Streetfollow


Have fun making your own beads out of clay and make a necklace or bracelet. Leave them natural for a Wilma Flintstone look or paint them with nail varnish for shiny colourful beads.

Time: 20 minutes plus drying time
Age: Any age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Air drying craft clay
  • Skewer
  • Elastic
  • Nail varnishes to decorate (optional)



  • Method
  • Roll the clay into little balls.



  • Make a hole through each ball using the skewer.

  • Make a hole in each bead with a skewer


  • Allow to dry for 24 hours.
  • Thread onto elastic to make a bracelet.



  • Tie the ends of the elastic together and trim. Slide the knot into one of the beads to hide it.

  • Your bracelet is now ready to wear.



    If you want to make a colourful shiny bracelet, try painting the beads with bright nail varnishes.
