Valerie Bealle shows how to create cylinder bead caps and end caps in fine silver metal clay. Valerie uses the natural shrinkage rate of metal clay to her advantage as she properly sizes bead caps to fit a string of beads perfectly.
Valerie finishes this project by gold plating the fired silver bead caps to add detail. She uses the 24K gold pen plater.
Note: PMC Flex is no longer available. For a comparable flexible clay, we recommend FS999 Fine Silver.
