My birthday is in October, and I love the colours of autumn. Especially since I moved to Canada, the &#8216;fall&#8217; colours are something I look forward to every year. I decided to make a bracelet with all my favourite autumn elements, so I&#8217;d have a little piece of autumn to keep with me all year round.<\/p>\n<p>I made seven signature beads from FIMO polymer clay: a crisp red apple, a bunch of purple grapes, a deep pink rose, a\u00a0glossy acorn, a pumpkin, an ear of corn, and a red leaf (for scale, the acorn is exactly 1cm tall).<\/p>\n<div class=\"halfcenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay apple bead\" alt=\"polymer clay apple bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_apple.jpg\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay grapes bead\" alt=\"polymer clay grapes bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_grapes.jpg\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay rose bead\" alt=\"polymer clay rose bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_rose.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay acorn bead\" alt=\"polymer clay acorn bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_acorn.jpg\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay pumpkin bead\" alt=\"polymer clay pumpkin bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_pumpkin.jpg\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay corn bead\" alt=\"polymer clay corn bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_corn.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"half\" title=\"polymer clay leaf bead\" alt=\"polymer clay leaf bead\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/autumn_leaf.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>After baking and varnishing them, I glued a bugle bead through the hole in each polymer clay bead for added strength and to give each bead\u00a0the same width. I strung them on\u00a0Stretch Magic\u00a0bead cord with golden bugle beads to space them out and amber coloured glass beads as accents.
