Polymer clay bead making isn't really my forte. I've played around with polymer clay in the past (and have some really ugly fridge magnets and a necklace for my cat to show for it!), but I couldn't really get the hang of sculpting.

My husband still mocks my polymer clay bead cat necklace from time to time. I think it's pretty funny too, but not that funny. Making beads with polymer clay has been a bit of a sore point with me ever since.

I really like this mold making idea because it looks like something anyone can do well without much practice. It looks like I'll be trying my hand at polymer clay bead making again real soon!
