Black & White Polymer Clay Beads

This necklace used less than ten dollars worth of materials to create. That includes the clay, the findings, cross, wire and the filler beads. Pretty cool and a great value.

We created a video "How To" on the creation of the polymer clay beads. It is a great first project and a basic tutorial on preparing the clay, making a cane, making an oval bead and using the Tri-Bead Roller. Please take a look. Ploymer Clay Black & White Beads.
