Directions:
Take small amounts of air-drying clay or modeling compound and form into desired shapes and size for beads. Use household utensils to make indentations and carvings into beads. Undo one end of a paper clip. Use pointed end of paper clip to make a hole through bead large enough for ribbon to fit through. Allow beads to dry according to instructions of the product you are using. After they are dried, use acrylic paint to add accents and extra designs to beads. When paint is dried string beads onto ribbon. You may need to use a tapestry needle. Knot the two ribbon ends together.
