Chinese traditional fashion is more and more popular among the world. Do you like this exotic fashion? If yes, why not use polymer clay beads to create such a jewelry for yourself or as a jewelry gift to someone who likes Chinese traditional fashion? Let’s create a pair of earring, which is easy to beginners of jewelry making. The materials we need are 2pcs round steel blue handmade polymer clay beads with white flowers on surface (about 10mm in diameter), 4pcs white glass beads (about 4mm in diameter), 2pcs gold headpins and 2pcs gold earring hooks. The steps are quite simple too. First, string a white glass bead, a blue polymer bead and one more glass bead on headpin. Second, use your jewelry plier to make a loop at top of glass bead. Third, use your jewelry plier to attach the beaded earring drop onto the ring of earring hook. Fourth, repeat the above steps to create the other earring for a pair. Till now, a pair of polymer clay earrings with Chinese traditional fashion is finished. Don’t you think the blue clay beads have the feeling of Chinese blue and white porcelain?
Summer is hot, and Hawaii is an amazing place to have holiday, so why not wear some jewelry pieces with Hawaii style there? And handmade flower polymer clay beads are good choice for creating that style jewelry. When you search that kind of flower beads on the internet, you will find they are available in various shapes, colors and sizes. So, you have a wide range of selection about them according to your design. The simplest one should be string glass pearl beads and flower polymer clay beads with different colors as a necklace or bracelet. And then, create a pair of flower earrings. If you are an experienced jewelry maker, you can create a complicated design. For example, use eyepins or jewelry wire to link these flowers in a beautiful shape or pattern for your necklace. No matter what shapes you like to use, keep in mind to use different colors as colorful is one character of Hawaii style.

You can also use polymer clay beads to create some other exotic jewelry designs. Just purchase the materials you need to start now.
