HOW TO MAKE CLAY BEADS

1. Roll a ball of clay and pierce a threading hole through the

centre with a cocktail stick. Remove the stick and smooth out the edges of the holes, gently patting the bead back into an even ball shape.

2. Place the bead on greaseproof paper, with the

hole facing upwards, so it sits on the

other side of the hole

3. Bake it in the oven for

as long as recommended

on the packaging.
