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. For this next step we are going to put together our beads and our pendents to create a necklace. Once you have taken it out of the oven and you have let everything cooled down, just check and make sure that none of the beads are stuck together. That everything cooked as it should have. Sometimes you see a little bit of extra clay where you have poked a hole through and you can with your finger just get rid of that. Just peel some of it off. This is a extremely helpful tool, this is a bead design board and you can use this to figure out how long you want a necklace and to plan out the necklace before you start stringing it up. So basically 0 is going to be our center where we are going to hang our pendent and then we can plan out exactly how we want it to look. We don't have to do the whole necklace in fimo beads. I have some beautiful fresh water pearls that I'm going to incorporate to my necklace. I'm just going to go ahead and place them on the opposite side of the purple beads. They add a really nice shimmer if you will to the whole necklace and break up the fimo.
