"Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make a beautiful necklace out of polymer clay. The first thing we are going to do is select the colors that match out scheme. Now polymer clay can get a little bit pricey so one thing to do so you don't have to waste a lot of color clay is to get a lot of this. This is clear clay. What you can do with this is you can put it in the middle of your beads so you don't have to use a whole block of color. You have some clear in the middle. You can also swirl it around within the bead and it looks really cool once it baked. It has a nice translucent look to it, it almost looks 3-D.
