5. Clay Beaded Necklaces

Create your own unique, one-of-a-kind clay beads for necklaces or bracelets. Roll out small balls of air dry clay, then use a toothpick to make holes through the center. After the beads are dry, paint them in any colors you like, and thread them onto a necklace chain or elastic cord. These handmade beads will add a personalized touch to any jewelry collection.

Pro tip: For added texture, use fabric, lace, or stamps to imprint designs on your beads before they dry.
