Beads

Polymer Colors

For an in-progress project, I made some polymer beads in marbled colors. I love marbling patterns.

Roll strips

Twist the strips together

Roll the twist around

Repeat to get finer texture

Roll into a smooth ball

Make more, from this -

- to this

in various sizes

Make holes

Make a "log" and cut slices

for disc beads. Then bake and use (sometime).

  1. How do you make the holes without distorting the shape?

  2. Oh that's how you do that. They sure are pretty once the marbling is smoothed.

  3. Ahhhhh that is so cool!!! I've been interested in polymer clay bead-making and things for a couple of years now, but I have not even started to try to get into it myself. XD
