How to Make Polymer Clay Beads

Rather than purchasing polymer dirt dabs to use in your next adornments or art venture, make your own dabs that you can redo to suit your specific outline thoughts. In spite of the fact that polymer earth globules can look muddled and complicated, even an amateur crafter can effectively make delightful dabs at home

 Materials Needed

Gather together the materials you have to make your own particular custom made polymer dirt globules, including a sheet of wax paper, diverse shades of polymer earth, a mud cut, a toothpick and a treat sheet. Lay the sheet of wax paper out on a table or ledge to ensure the working surface.

Make a Bead Roll

Choose the shades of polymer dirt that you need to use for your dab roll, and manipulate each shading for around 2 minutes to make the earth delicate and flexible. You will require around 1 ounce of each shading. Reveal each shading into a long snake with your fingers. Stack the snakes over each other to make one long roll. To make a dot with a picture on it, begin at the dab move toward the end as you stack the snakes together. Mastermind the hues as you stack to make a particular picture. When you feel happy with your dab move, utilize your hands to roll the whole thing forward and backward against the table to pack and thin it to around 1/2-inch thickness.

Cut and Prepare the Beads

Cut the closures off of the globule move utilizing the mud blade, and put the finishes aside. These twisted end pieces won't progress toward becoming globules, however you can utilize the mud for some other art venture. Beginning toward one side, cut the globule move into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Embed the toothpick through each cut piece, from one side to the next, and expel it to make a gap. Once prepared, the openings will empower you to string the dabs together.

Heat the Beads

Lay the readied polymer dots level on a treat sheet and prepare them in a 275 degree Fahrenheit broiler for 15 minutes. Enable the dabs to cool totally before utilizing them in your specialty venture.

Tips and Warnings

Abstain from overbaking the polymer dabs or they could consume. Keep hot polymer globules out of the scope of kids, and utilize alert when taking care of them. Hot polymer earth can consume skin rapidly.
