Creating Clay Bead Bracelets: A Step-by-Step Guide

Gather Your Materials

You'll need clay in various colors, a toothpick or skewer to make holes in the beads, a string for the bracelet, and a safe cutting tool.

Shape the Beads

Take small pieces of clay and roll them into balls to create beads. They can be of the same size or different sizes for variety.

Create Holes in the Beads

Use the toothpick or skewer to make a hole through the center of each clay bead. Make sure the hole is big enough for the string to pass through.

Let the Beads Dry

If you're using air-dry clay, leave the beads to dry according to the package instructions. If using oven-bake clay, bake them as per the package instructions.

String the Beads

Once the beads are dry, thread them onto the string. You can create a pattern with the colors or arrange them randomly.

Tie the Bracelet

When all beads are on the string, tie the ends of the string together to form a bracelet. Make sure it's secure.
