Learn how to make translucent polymer clay disc beads with this faux glass technique. You will receive a downloadable PDF that’s written in English, which includes many step-by-step instructions, pictures, and helpful tips. This is a new, rewritten version (2021) of my original disc bead tutorial that I created back in 2013.

Skill Level: Advanced

My faux glass technique for making polymer clay beads does not build upon any skills that a beginner does not have, and my instructions are thorough enough for someone new to polymer clay to follow them. However, this technique does require specialized tools and supplies and you will need good hand-eye coordination. This project is for adults only.

This project requires the following special tools/supplies: variable temperature heat gun, k-type thermocouple probe (to test how hot your heat gun gets), liquid Kato PolyClay.

About the Artist

My name is Amber, welcome to my tutorial shop! I’ve been using clay in various forms since 2012. When I first started, I was making small sculptures of caterpillars, frogs, and other bugs out of polymer clay. I moved on to playing with faux glass techniques after I became enamored with lampworking. Since I didn’t have the studio space or the means to get the equipment to work with real glass at the time, I spent hours trying to imitate the medium using something I did have access to — polymer clay. I hope you enjoy using my techniques in your artwork!
