You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Sewing Needle
  • 1 Craft Knife
  • various colours of Fimo Clay
  • 1 wooden / plastic Rolling Pin

Steps (5 steps, 80 minutes)

  1. 1

    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. 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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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

  5. 5

    You can use the left over fimo to make a swirly round pendant :)
