Polymer Clay Beads
Our polymer clay beads are strings of small colourful beads depicting themes. The fun themed beads include flower, fruit slices of kiwi, strawberries, oranges and limes (of all things!). The themes continue with stars and the familiar smiley faces and sweets. These small beads are approximately 10mm in diameter and 5mm thick. There is a single 1mm hole running through the centre of the bead making these really easy to string, especially on elastic thread like stretch magic. These beads are soft but tough and you can feel that they are made from polymer clay like Fimo or Sculpey. Warm to the touch and very light so they would make excellent earrings to complete your unique jewellery combo.
