Polymer clay is a pliable, bendable polymer compound for artists and crafters. It is not true clay.

The first jewelry set includes a necklace and earrings. You need to prepare the following items: 9pcs pink round handmade polymer clay beads with flowers on surface (about 16mm in diameter), 14pcs red bicone glass beads (about 6mm in diameter), 10pcs white bicone glass beads (about 4mm in diameter), several silver crimp beads, jewelry wire, a lobster clasp, 2pcs earring hooks, 2pcs headpins and 16pcs Tibetan style beads caps. Let’s make the earrings first. String a bead cap, a polymer bead and a red bead on a headpin, and use your jewelry plier to make a loop at the top. Attach the bead pendant on the ring of earring hook. A lovely earring is finished. Repeat the same steps to create the other one. About the necklace, use a crimp bead and jewelry plier to fix one end of wire on a jump ring first. Then string 7pcs pink polymer clay beads, 8pcs red bicone glass beads, 2pcs white bicone glass beads and 14pcs Tibetan style bead caps on the wire. Make sure that there are one red and one white glass bead at two ends of necklace, and string other beads like one bead cap, one polymer bead, one bead cap and a red glass bead. Add the rest red and white bicone glass beads and crimp beads on the wire in different distances, and use crimp beads to fix the places of glass beads. The last step is attaching the lobster clasp on the other end of necklace. A lovely polymer clay beads necklace is finished. Don’t you think this set of jewelry is cute and beautiful?

This jewelry making idea about polymer clay beads is very easy, and very suitable for beginners. You can purchase some other round polymer beads to create your own jewelry set. Of course, you can also purchase these beads in other shapes, such as flower, flat round and so on, to create your special jewelry.
