I have been working on making sets of beads out of polymer clay. I am trying to make them the same size so that I can do matching jewelry with them. To make both of these sets I used scarps from my barrettes. I rolled the scrapes into logs and then cut pieces the same size. Then using the same technique that I make swirly lentils with I swirled the beads and then squared them.
These I made the holes straight across the middle on the beads like you usually find on beads.
These green ones have holes corner to corner, so that the beads hang in a diamond shape. I really want to find accent beads that bring out the cream tints.
