How Do You Make Large Polymer Clay Beads?
Creating with polymer clay is a relaxing and popular activity. Clay has the potential to become beautiful beads and home decorating items.

You can string the completed beads on a heavy cord for a lovely addition to your accessories and wardrobe. Condition the polymer clay. Roll it into a long snake. Fold the snake in half and roll it into a snake again. Repeat until the clay is soft and pliable. Roll the clay into a 1/2-inch diameter snake. Place a large rubber stamp, stamp side up, on your work surface. Cut the length of the snake the width of the stamp surface. Center the length of the snake on the top side edge of the stamp. Gently place another large stamp over the snake. Do not squish the snake. Use the top stamp to apply light pressure to roll and guide the snake, creating an impression on the snake
