Gather your materials. Protect your workspace with newspaper or a paper bag.

Roll the clay into small balls or long tubes. Don't make them too big or they will be too heavy to wear!

Use a pipe cleaner to gently poke a hole through each clay shape.

Let the clay dry overnight--or until the beads are completely dry. In the meantime, you can paint your buttons! You can also paint your beads once they are dry.

When the beads and buttons are dry, string them onto a pipe cleaner. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together and wear your new creation!
