Mardi Gras Beads
Instructions for making purple, green, and gold clay beads you can use to make Mardi Gras jewelry.

Materials Needed:

  • Clay
  • Paint
  • Yarn

Instructions:

Use one of these recipes (I prefer the oven flour clay) and make beads out of the dough. Make many sizes and shapes of beads. Use a toothpick or straw to make a whole in the bead for stringing. Paint them purple, green, and gold (yellow) and use yarn or string to make Mardi Gras jewelry.
