I made this using airdry clay. First I made beads by making balls of different size and shape(4 big balls, 8 medium sized balls, 6 small oval shaped balls). Make sure to make holes using toothpicks before dring. Then I hand molded a bell and a bird. Make holes through this too. Then dry it under sun for a day. I painted it with acrylic colors,red and green and made small patterns on it. Take a string and string it through. I started with a small ball (which we cannot see). Then the bell, then big bell, followed by four alternate colours medium sized balls, then again 1 big ball, 2 small balls. Then the bird and followed the down pattern on top. Finished it with gloss garnish.
