How to make

Step 1

Roll your clay into bead shapes – round or square, whichever you prefer!
Use a needle/ large cocktail stick to poke a hole through the centre of each bead.

When all pieces are complete, leave in a cool, dry space to allow the clay to completely dry. This may take 2 - 3 days depending on the thickness of your beads.

Tip: Keep checking on your clay, you may need to turn them over every once in a while so they get full coverage of air.

Step 2

When the clay is completely dry, paint them with your chosen colours and add details with a marker pen. Leave to dry fully.

Step 3

Tie a large knot at the end of a length of ribbon and then thread the beads on to it. Thread the other end of the ribbon through a keyring.

Using a needle and thread, sew the ribbon around the keyring as pictured and then trim off the excess.

Step 4

Your clay bead keyrings are now complete!
