Mei Pak of <a href="http://tinyhandsonline.com/">Tiny Hands Jewelry</a> twists pastel polymer clay to make marshmallow beads, great for earrings, necklaces and other candy-inspired jewelry bead charms.
Materials:
- Polymer clay in three pastel colors
- Blade or craft knife
- Eyepins if making into charms
- All-purpose glue or nail varnish
- Paintbrush
Step 1
Roll polymer clay into balls. Then with one finger, slowly roll them out into logs.
Step 3
With both hands on each end of the logs, twist in opposite directions. Place twisted logs on a flat surface and gently roll to flatten out the creases.
Step 4
Cut up equal sizes of the marshmallow log with a craft knife. Insert eyepins at the end. Bake in the oven following the polymer clay package instructions.
Step 5
Once baked, allow to cool completely. With a paintbrush, apply a thin coat of all-purpose glue on the marshmallows (or use nail varnish) for a nice shine. String with other beads to make into jewelry!
