Making Fimo Beads

[staceyjlew]

I fancy having a go at making Fimo beads - is there a good book/leaflet out there that will tell me the process and what I need etc...?

Thanks

I also want to try these out. If you look up Emma Ralph's website (try ejralph) she has some beautiful beads and some tutorials. I tried some with mixed results, but was browsing in Borders bookshop yesterday and found some books all about polymer beads, so there is quite a lot around.

Otherwise I'm going to do some more searching online - I'm sure youtube must have some tutorials etc.

polymerclaycentral.com is fab. I also have a trawl around amazon and then try to find anything I like on the library online catalogue, I lose interest in stuff quickly so dont want to spend a fortune if it will be forgotten in a month lol

Fimo produce leaflets on making beads which you may find next to the fimo in a good craft shop. Fimo's webiste also has ideas

My local library has lots of polymer clay books so this might be a good place to look.

I learnt most of my techniques from the internet and looking at work that other people have done. You can then adapt to your own style.

I like making flower beads in the spring and patterned beads in the winter!
