How to Make Fimo Beads
Making beads and creating bead art is hotter than ever. It is easy to make Fimo bead art and we'll get started right away teaching you the basics.
Similar to that of modeling clay, fimo is a synthetic. It can be used to make hundreds of different types of bead creations. Polymer clay is created from polyvinyl chloride and combined with color pigment and plastic. The clay is then hardened through the baking process. Wonderfully, the baking does not change the size or color of the clay.
Readily available in dozens of colors and weights, fimo beads are found in nearly all craft stores and recently a huge influx of beads and bead art on eBay.
The most important aspects to consider when creating your own clay beads at home is the malleability prior to baking. Also, very important is the flexibility and strength within the completed pieces. Every color in the rainbow is available and you can let your imagination run wild when creating your bead Art Jewelry.
If you have a pasta machine at home which has been collecting dust, a perfect sacrifice is the making of your fimo beads. First take the clay from the package starting with approximately one ounce. Squeeze and gently warm the clay between your hands rolling it into a long thin snake. Repeat this process until the clay stretches out, without breaking, when pulled apart. Try to manipulate the clay long enough to remove obvious air trapped within the clay.
Now, back to your ex-pasta machine, which is now your fimo bead creator. Cut your block of polymer into slabs just a touch thicker than the widest setting on your machine. Send a slab through the machine, fold in half and send through again.
Now it is time for the baking process. Most brands bake between 250 and 275F so be sure to check the directions. I bake for at least 30 minutes. Proper baking time is essential to allow the polymer to fuse completely. If you do not bake for the correct length of time your finished pieces will be weak. Never breathe in the fumes while baking and be sure to use an exhaust fan. Store your clay away from direct sunlight and heat in plastic bags or plastic containers. The clay will retain its workability indefinitely if you store properly.
Use your pasta machine to roll your clay out into sheets in your chosen thickness. I usually lay down a sheet of wax paper on my work area for easy cleanup. A sharp cutting blade is required and should be kept separately with your other fimo bead making supplies. Steel weaving needles work well to suspend your beads while baking. This prevents a flat surface from forming and keeps the shape in tact. Some bead makers prefer to drill holes in their beads after making, but I personally like to create the hole in the unbaked clay. If you rotate the tool used as you push this will prevent any distortion of your fimo beads.
There are several finishing options for your beads including adding a shine. Most manufacturers offer a varnish especially designed for beads.
Beading is such an enjoyable hobby and there is no end to the creativity. There are many books and supplies available in both craft shops and the internet.
