I took 3 colours; blue purple and white.
I broke off 1/3 of my small fimo packs of each colour using a craft knife -
2
I rolled the blue colour using a rolling pin (wooden was difficult to roll with). I rolled each colours out but for each colour i make them slightly smaller than the blue. Lay them all on top of each other and roll one end to the other.

Using the craft knife cut your beads so u can see the swirls. Cut them to how ever length you want. Do this a few times.

Then using a sewing needle, pierce a hole in the top of the beads all the way through (must be big enough to link on a bracelet). Place on foil on a baking tray, heat on Gas mark 2 and for 20 mins. Voila
