Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make a beautiful necklace out of polymer clay. We are going to make our purple beads. So we are going to very gently move these over here and you are going to make sure that you wipe your work area clean. Get rid of all the excess clay because it would stick to your purple beads and it may blend with it and change the beautiful purple colors that we have made. So just like we did for the green beads we are going to take the purple and we are going to cut it into segments. These segments we are going to make a little bit bigger because we are making the purple beads oval. We are going to cut one amount and see if these are a good amount for the oval bead. We are going to put it over the oval bead maker. Roll it a few times, perfect look at that beautiful. We are going to cut the rest of the beads and then we are going to make our oval beads just like we made our green beads. But we are going to make less oval beads cause they take up more space and we are not going to put as many on the necklace.
