Polymer Clay Beads for Jewelry Making, Gifts and Creative Projects

Polymer clay beads are light and colourful, and they come in shapes that are hard to achieve in any other material. At EM ART you’ll find a wide choice of beads in playful, artistic designs: flowers, hearts, fruit, animals, sweet treats and more.

Use polymer clay beads for bracelets, necklaces, earrings, keychains, seasonal charms and personalised gifts. They pair easily with cords, leather, metal parts, wooden beads and other beads for colourful jewellery and creative projects.

What are Polymer Clay Beads?

• Lightweight. Polymer clay beads are ideal for jewellery and accessories where you want a larger or more eye-catching decorative element without adding much weight.
• Creative shapes. Polymer clay can be formed into flowers, animals, fruit, hearts, stars, rainbows, smiley faces and many other decorative designs.
• Ready for jewellery making. The category includes individual beads, bead strands and decorative polymer clay elements for bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other creative projects.

The beads in this category are mainly made from polymer clay and are ready to use in handmade projects. You’ll find classic polymer clay beads, bead strands, flat disc beads and decorative pieces in different shapes, colours and sizes. Hole size and shape vary from model to model, so check the product details before choosing elastic, cord, string or another stringing base.

Polymer Clay Bead Shapes, Colours and Sizes

The range is huge, from classic rounds, cylinders and discs to more detailed figures:

• Flowers and plants. Roses, daisies, bouquets and other floral motifs for delicate jewellery.
• Animals and symbols. Butterflies, dolphins, turtles, bees, fish, teddy bears and other fun accents.
• Geometric shapes. Rounds, cylinders, flat disc beads, ovals and circles for simpler combinations.
• Special motifs. Hearts, rainbows, smiley faces, stars and other shapes for personalised gifts.

Polymer beads come in red, pink, white, blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, grey, purple, peach and many more shades. That makes it easy to match them to an occasion, a season or a favourite colour scheme.

Polymer Clay Beads for Jewellery Making and Crafts

• Bracelets. Mix polymer beads with elastic, cord or other beads for colourful everyday accessories.

• Gifts and souvenirs. Make personalised bracelets or small accessories for a special occasion.
