This is a simple way to dress up any bead and make it into a focal piece. As long as your bead is stone, glass or anything able to withstand a 275° F. oven, you’re all set.
The amount of clay used is minimal and the techniques are easy. We’re just adding leaves, scrolls and dots. Of course, feel free to sculpt whatever you like!
I like to bake these beads on a bit of quilt batting (yup, it’s fine in the low oven) to keep from flattening out the textures on the back.
Some of the tools & materials used:
- Premo! Sculpey Pearl
polymer clay
- Premo! Sculpey 18K Gold

- Premo! Sculpey Gold

- Acrylic Clay Roller
- Clay Blade

Squee! Those are so cute! Skillfully worked, too–I’d have to practice a long time to get the clay that smooth.
Glad you like them! I guess I have had a bit of practice. 🙂
