Polymer Clay Java Beads

Are you a coffee addict? Show your love for all things java with these adorable earrings. Polymer Clay Java Beads from Candace Jedrowicz are a great jewelry craft that everyone will love. Add beads to the bottom for a fun touch.

Materials:

• Polymer clay
• 20 gauge wire
• Jewelry making tools
• Beads
• Glass bead moons
• Dangling wires
• Ear wires

Instructions:
 

1. These are the four steps of forming the low relief beads. See? Easy as pie!
   
   
    
2. Gently make holes in the beads and bake according to the clay directions.
   
   
    
3. If you want to turn the beads into earrings, you’ll need some 20 gauge wire and jewelry making tools and maybe a few beads. I like to twist the wires to look like steam is rising from the cups. I’m a believer in accessories that move with you so I added glass bead moons and a little dangling wires that I flattened with a chasing hammer.
   
   
    
4. These dangling darlings are ready for ear wires!
