1
Start with a lump of coloured fimo.
-
2
Roll the fimo in to a neat ball.
-
3
Place a skewer down through the middle of the ball slowly and carefully, making sure not to misshape the ball. If you twist the skewer while pushing it through, it will help to keep the shape.
-
4
Make a number of beads using different colours of fimo.
-
5
Slip a bead on to a skewer.
-
6
Place small dots of an alternative colour of fimo over the bead. Use the skewer to turn the bead as you go.
-
7
Cover the whole bead in dots and then carefully slip off the skewer.
-
8
Bake the fimo beads in an oven until hard, leave to cool for half an hour.
-
9
Cover the beads in glaze and leave to dry.
-
10
You can use the beads to make pretty jewellery.

These are awesome! At first in the pic i thought they were made of glass but it's just the varnish! Will have to try some as have been mucking around will resin beads but these look much easier.

With wire, I bent it in to the shape of an eye pin, slipped it through the bread, connected it to another 'eye pin', closed it off and continued along!
