Whimsical Earrings – Shades of Blue and Pumpkin Beads

My latest batch of handmade polymer clay beads is finally ready, and I’m back at it with two new pairs of blue fimo earrings. 

The first pair is paired (pun intended) with cute matching wooden beads for a natural touch, while the second pair features glass beads with subtle transparent inlays that I absolutely love. (and of which I am missing one last glass bead to finish a pair for myself… of course.)

Both pairs are topped off with dainty little silver flower bead caps – a recent discovery that’s quickly become a favorite for giving polymer clay earrings a delicate finishing touch.

And that’s not all! A few more colorful statement earrings have come to life in the studio lately – think tiny pumpkin-shaped beads, handmade fimo beads in cheerful tones, coordinated wood beads, and silver findings to tie everything together into sparkly little creations that will brighten up any day.

Handmade with Love: Colorful Fimo Keyrings for Everyday Joy (and a Bit of Chaos)

If you're anything like me, your keys spend more time hiding in the abyss of your bag than actually unlocking doors. That's why I decided to brighten things up—with a(nother) set of handmade polymer clay keyrings, each one a mini explosion of color, beads, and joy. And let’s be real: it’s also a great excuse to play with Fimo clay and beads again!

✨ Four Unique Keyrings, All Handmade

Let’s dive into the keyring collection I just finished. Each of these is a little piece of my creative chaos—assembled with love (and a surprising number of beads rolling onto the floor).

1. Green Pop & Dots

Stone and fimo slices, spiral bead, a bit of a retro leafy charcoal-finished fimo bead, some flower beads on silver rings and that eye-catching green polka dot ribbon—for the bold-hearted keychain lover. 

2. Turquoise & Starry Dreams

A blend of turquoise polymer beads, wooden accents, and a bold silver star charm. Strung on cotton thread, this one has serious beachy vibes.

3. Modern Geometric Garden

Think zen garden meets modern mosaic. Featuring stacked green beads, a subtle flower charm, and a geometric black-and-green tile bead (one of my favorites of all time this one!), minimalist but still full of character.

4. Fairy Tales (or Princessy) Vibes

Some whimsical bead shapes for the last one - which gives serious enchanted forest energy, somehow. If your keys lived in a fairy tale, they’d wear this.

True story: while I was carefully threading my beads, selecting the perfect Fimo accents, and fiddling with metal rings like a seasoned crafter (or not), my daughter decided she’d make her own keyrings too. Let’s just say hers involved a lot more pink and glitter.

We had a full-on bead explosion across the table, followed by the ceremonial "who gets the last clasp" negotiation. (Spoiler: she won).

Handmade wire bracelets with coloured wire and polymer clay fruits

These lovely, cheerful bracelets already made an appearance some time ago, and while searching for beads and a Liberty ribbon to craft something else, I remembered I have these colourful wire spools in my stuff.

I selected green wire to match the shade of a piece of kiwi, and blue wire to have a beautiful contrast with a slice of grapefruit... or blood orange... it's a bit tricky to pinpoint exactly what it is, but whatever!

This time, instead of leather, I used black waxed cotton cord, and added to each bracelet a silver-toned lobster clasp, complemented by a matching extension chain for adjustable sizing (as I am pretty sure these will be snatched by my daughter, but just in case...).

The small fruit charms are made from Fimo polymer clay, from canes I purchased a while ago, the two beads around the fruits are wood, for a bit of a natural, earthy touch to the design.

More Handmade Good Luck Charms

Under the gentle sun (so far) of March, here are two good luck charms I don't think I've shared here before. One in pink, the other in green, both part of an ongoing series of handmade charms keyrings featuring cabochons, bias tape, and other polymer clay beads I made. Each charm is embellished, with a small cabochon for one, and a rectangular mosaic bead created with a polymer clay claygun, along with a Liberty print polka dot bias tape for the other.

Handmade polymer clay creations: a few new additions

Here’s a mix of new (and not-so-new) pieces (the creations and the photos), a mix of different handmade jewellery pieces.

A new keychain to add to the collection, which has been pretty popular. They're just so handy to attach everywhere... (although it doesn't seem to stop me from regularly losing my keys in my handbag, which was the starting point of the whole story). 

This time, I used two strips of cotton bias tape. To make them I used my super-handy bias tape maker - proper must-have to avoid burning your fingers with the iron!

I’ve also made some new drop earrings with "lace" beads, which are incredibly lightweight and a personal favourite of mine at the moment (and with a lawn that’s just a little too green for a good photo).

I’m also sharing some older designs – these blue earrings with "calavera" beads that I love very much, with their vibrant colours and playful skull design.
