When doing handwork, it is inevitable to use various beautiful beads. It is very beautiful to use beads as beading handmade materials or as auxiliary decoration in other handmade products. We are using them directly. In addition to purchased beads, you can also use ultra-light clay to make beautiful beads yourself. Such hand-made beads are more meaningful and are great materials for making bracelets or necklaces as New Year gifts.
Main material: Ultra-light clay, pigments, Tools required: Needle, utility knife, fine sandpaper, Production steps:
Step 1: Roll the colored clay into thin strips, then cut off small pieces and roll into balls of the same size
Step 2: String the clay balls on top of the needle and set aside to dry
Step 3: Then use a pencil to make a mark in the middle of the clay ball
Step 4: Then we use a utility knife to make a shallow cut at the marked location
Step 5: Now you have a small section
Step 6: Then use this as the center to continue cutting out the petals on the side
Step 7: This completes the production of one side, and then does the same production on the opposite side
Step 8: Color the surface of the beads
Step 9: Then use fine sandpaper to carefully sand away the color outside the petals, and don’t forget the lines between the petals
Step 10: Use a fine small file to create the texture on the petals
Step 11: In this way, you can complete the production of beautiful clay beads.
