Polymer Clay Scrap Technique: Heart of the Ocean Pendant Tutorial

In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make polymer clay lentil beads using scrap cane ends. This technique is great fun and can be done using any clay, but I find that cane ends really make the pendants pop.
I’ll also show a cool technique to turn lentil beads into flat or domed pendants. This is super easy and makes sanding so much easier. It also means more possibilities in bead shapes and stringing options.

They are beautiful, I'm going to give them another try. Thank you

[@joyfuldesignstudio]

Thank you so much for your detailed videos! I've learned a lot and I'm looking forward to trying out some of these techniques!

[@Nicholasxie]

Beautiful pendants. Thank you!

[@shyamgan02]

Great tutorial. I love the new shapes.

[@RameyRocks]

These are gorgeous!

[@kristibbradshaw]

I love these.

[@katzologin8687]

Those are *SO* wonderful! I also don't like to use the lentil beads, so I always flattened them out. But from now on I will change the shape. I will buy the next days the tuto for the cherry blossom cane, I love it so much.

[@darrjablonski5022]

You do beautiful work,.....I really appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how to make EVERYTHING look very professional. Thank you and I subscribed to your tutorials... can't wait to see more.

[@sueyounglove9253]

That was great.

[@mrsbeckydaisy]

Love this idea especially for the odd shaped lentils. Susan from Turtle Bead Soup does the best lentils I think as far as the shape goes. She uses a smaller acrylic block so its is easier to control and the shape ends up being a more usable bead shape. Thanks again Jessama great tutorial.

[@katyrogers8595]

I'd be interested to see a future post on the brands of clay and how well the buff up. Thanks so much for this!

[@Rowinaartcreations]

Awsome, I love clay too

[@suryaprofessor]

[@nadinecheron1769]

C'est superbe !!! Merci pour le partage !

[@naturallygifted2002]

Well executed

[@espiritodosol]

I just love it 😘

[@bonniefaltz9505]

Love the swirl of lentils but it's difficult to put holes evenly in them to string so reshaping is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@kimberlyleon2147]

Beautiful ❤️😍

[@ItWorksBodyWraps64]

Ok thank you!

[@Patmouchon]

thank your for this great tutorial. Now I know why my lentil beads didn't work out!

[@TheMaru04]

They are beautiful!!! I’m new on making polymer clay jewelry, im feeling a little bit intimidated by opening the holes on the beads , how would you put a pin on this beads and turn it in to a necklace:)

[@JessamaTutorials]

Well. You simply make an eye pin with some round nose pliers, but about a 1.5 cm tail, bend that tail at a 90 degree angle and push that into the bead, curving the pin in so that it slips in smooth. I personally like to drill my beads with a pin drill as I find it easier after just a bit of practice of scrap beads.

[@shyamgan02]

There is a tutorial from polymer clay tutor on making holes for lentil beads.

[@shirleyzolman5656]

Very nice and the beads are lovely. Do you think Kato clay is better for making beads? I am not sure of which one to use.

[@JessamaTutorials]

Personally, I like Kato and Premo equally. Between the two you can get almost any technique right.

[@shirleyzolman5656]

Jessama Tutorials thank you for your reply, Kato and premo it is.

[@ItWorksBodyWraps64]

Gorgeous Samantha just gorgeous. Would you show us how to do this Cain please.

[@carmensol34]

How do you make that cane? It’s so pretty!

[@JessamaTutorials]

It's part of a payed tutorial on how to make a pool cane or faux larimar. It's available on Etsy is you want to check it out. www.etsy.com/au/listing/581518006/polymer-clay-pool-water-cane-tutorial?ref=shop_home_active_3

[@marilynmulkey6095]

If you wear gloves while forming the design, would that eliminate finger prints?

[@JessamaTutorials]

Yes. It will.

[@paulastpeter8393]

When u resin your pieces do you resin the sides and back? And if so how do u do it? Do they have to cure under a UV light to cure? Watch ur videos everyday. Please dont stop sharing with us.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I only resin the front. I sand the back and sides.

[@thebutterflywizardess8042]

Hey, for your larimar attempt, what blue would you say used?

[@JessamaTutorials]

I use multiple blues for various color recipes I have worked on for months to get just right. If you want to see the color recipes and the tutorial you can find it here. www.etsy.com/au/listing/581518006/polymer-clay-pool-water-cane-tutorial?ref=shop_home_active_13

[@thebutterflywizardess8042]

Jessama Tutorials thanks!

[@marcusbosson3275]

your beads sound really hard when you but them down on your tile...im new to this but mine don't sound hard and stoney...if that make sense....What am i doing wrong? is it to do with the baking...? 😓😓

[@JessamaTutorials]

I used mostly Kato in this project. It's quite a bit harder than premo and some other brands. What brand are you using?

[@marcusbosson3275]

@@JessamaTutorials sorrry for late reply...the clay i have is a miss match of sculpey premo cernit and ailto
