Beads of colored plastic
When deciding how to make beads with your own hands, you canuse materials that are not at all childish - natural stones, for example, or handmade clay beads. In addition to clay beads, very successful products are obtained from stones, but in this case you will first have to select stones of the appropriate size, and then pre-prepare each of them. And if you can easily involve children in creating paper or fabric products, then when processing stones, you will most likely need qualified help. In each of the stones used, you will have to carefully drill a hole so that these crafts can later be easily assembled into a single product. However, let's return to clay products. It is from this material that you can create truly original and unique masterpieces. Most likely, you learned to sculpt from plasticine as a child. Well, clay modeling is not much different from modeling from plasticine, so you can easily cope. Only the material is slightly different - colored plastic or polymer clay. It almost does not stain your hands and is non-toxic, and DIY plastic beads turn out to be unusually beautiful. So, how to make beads from plastic with your own hands? Choose the right shade of material in the store. Prepare the work surface - cover the table with oilcloth, put a bowl of water, put a thick needle. Now you can start. To create your first craft - knead the plastic well in your hands until it becomes soft and pliable. Next, tear off a piece of the right size, and carefully roll it into a ball. You have a standard round bead. To make a hole in it, you need to wet the needle in water and pierce the workpiece through. The hole should be large enough to string the bead on a rope. By the way, when stringing, the help of children is exactly what you need. It is useful for the child and easier for you. When the required number of balls for making beads from plastic with your own hands is ready, they need to be placed in the oven heated to 150 degrees and left there for 15 minutes. Now you can assemble the product. However, you can come up with something more interesting than standard round beads. For example, combine two colors that match each other, or come up with an original shape of beads: square, triangular, oval. There is no end to either colors or shapes. You can make solid beads from plastic with your own hands, or you can string the blanks through a knot. For this, you will need a longer rope. Tie a knot at the end, put on a bead. Then, after a couple of centimeters, do the same. Such crafts will not only decorate your outfit, but also bring satisfaction.
