Make a WATCH with Polymer Clay BEADS! Bead video part 2. SO EASY a beginner can do it!!

Ever wondered how you'd make a load of beads and then make them in to a watch strap? Well, this video will show you how! I've always wanted to make watches with beads and test my creativity to do it. I have many beads that I've made over the years and although not my favourite thing to make because it's time consuming, this I completely love!

I have many more watch faces - so I might come up with some other designs in a later video- so stay tuned if you like this one!
Video Features
-Making simple polymer clay beads
-Threading beads & creating a design
-Supporting the weight of the watch face for counter balance
-Securing and attaching clasps

Tools:
- Lots of beads!
-Watch face (I bought mine from Amazon in bulk, but a second hand one would work just fine)
-Polymer Clay in black (I used FIMO Professional)
-A-NRZO Mica Powder in Shiny White
-Texture roller (any kind)
-Jump rings and a clasp (I use silver wire & clasps, but you can use silver plated if you prefer)

If you would like a short on how I make jump rings- let me know!

Baking: Use Polymer Clay packet instructions. Good tip is to bake no higher than 100 degrees celsius. It's better to bake at a lower temperature for longer, than higher for shorter. Larger clay items need longer- always check after 10 mins- sometimes things fall over in the oven & can be rescued at this point. Watch for burning! Especially white as it's quick to burn (don't know why...) and can turn yellow! Electric ovens work better as the temperature is even, gas oven temperatures fluctuate do not keep a steady temp for baking polymer clay.... I don't like to state baking times because all clay is different- there are so many different products and ovens, it's hard to advise....
