  • Molded Beads
  • From "Jewelry Making"
    episode DJMK-304


    Materials:

    Items with strong 3-dimensional patterns
    Mold-n -Pour
    Polymer clay
    Liquid polymer clay
    Clay blade

    1. Following manufacturer’s instructions, prepare Mold-n-Pour. Use equal amounts and keep separate as you mix.

    2. Work the two colors of putty until blended together, then form into a ball. Place on a flat surface and push in the item firmly. Let it sit 7-10 minutes, until the putty is firm to the touch, then remove. Your mold is ready.

    3. Knead polymer clay in the color of your choice, and fill the mold. Level the top (or back) surface.) Remove from the mold; repeat as many times as needed.

    4. Bake per instructions and allow to cool. Add a narrow strip of clay the same color to make the bail of the pendant bead. Use liquid polymer clay to help stick the bail to the fired bead.

    5. Bake again.
