Well, I tried glitter beads yesterday in preparing for my upcoming demo.  I am so excited about how they turned out!

I used a pink flesh clay (Fimo Classic) and mixed five different ultra-fine glitters in a baggy.  Then it is simply a act of shake and bake.  I did put the holes in the beads before I shook them.  I have put on two light coats of a spray varnish and plan on doing a coat of a liquid (either Triple Thick by Decoart or Varathane).  I can’t wait to play with different colors of clay as well as different glitters.
