fimo clay beads

I make jewelry too, but don't know how to make beads :(

hi, You can also make chibi mini dolls as beads. they are much cuter. :)

I think that would be a fun thing to do, but I don't think I would want to put the money into doing it. Plus I have so many other crafts I need to work on!

I use clay to make may things. Sometimes I get a strange idea in my head and I can't find what I a looking for - like a certain size bead or a certain shape of bead - so I just make it. I use a lot of the marblized looking clay. You can combine the different colors and come up with some really unique designs and colors. I don't use molds (except for making faces), I just let my fingers get carried away and a decent design will miraculously appear. Just go ahead and try it, I think a small block of caly is only a couple of bucks. once you start you may not quit! I have not tried to paint any of the clay beads but I do for the little knick-knacky things I make. Enjoy!

This is a wonderful craft to want to learn! There are a lot of websites online that tell you how to make various types of fimo beads and they're so easy and don't take long at all to make a whole bunch. A package of fimo with quite a few colors only costs roughly ten dollars, so it's also not very costly.

I use to make polymer clay beads. There are so many different things that you can do to make them. It is really alot of fun. Have you tried making canes? A good site to use as a guide or for free projects is www.polymerclaycentral.com. They have many tutorials that should help you get started.
