Here's how to make skull beads with polymer clay.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

You can use any color of clay to make your skull beads. To make a natural bone type color, use half and half of white and transluscent polymer clays.
Step 2

Roll your clay into small 1/2 inch balls.
Step 3

Shape the balls into tiny human skulls. I like to use a picture of a skull to guide me.
Step 4

Use the end of a small piantbrush to make eye sockets. Use a knife tool to cut in marks for the teeth.
Step 5

Use a large pin to poke holes for stringing. I like to put the hole right at the base of the skull.
Step 6

Bake on tin foil in your oven as directed on the polymer clay's package.
