8. Mini Clay Beads

Clay beads are perfect for jewelry making. You can create necklaces, bracelets, or earrings.

Materials include air dry clay, toothpicks or skewers, acrylic paint, elastic string, and varnish.

Roll small balls or shape beads into cylinders or discs. Use a toothpick to carefully create holes through the center.

Let them dry fully while still on the toothpick to keep holes open. Once dry, paint and seal them.

Thread the beads onto elastic string to create jewelry pieces. These handmade beads allow for full customization of color and pattern.
