Since the chain consists of three balls of different sizes, you will need different amounts of the relevant FIMO soft colours: ½ portion of antique rosé, ½ portion of taupe, 1 portion of royal violet.
Roll each one into a ball by hand.

Tip: Work in progress and left-over material should be protected against sun and heat and can be stored in a screw-top jar or in cling film to protect it from dust and dirt.

Use the bead piercing needle to create a hole in each ball. Make sure the hole in the bead is large enough to thread the leather string through later.

Now thread each ball on to a bead piercing needle and hang it over a heat resistant container to ensure no dents arise during hardening. Harden the beads in the oven at 110° C / 230° F for 30 minutes.

After they have cooled, thread them onto a matching string, thong or chain, and you’re done!
