Make Polymer Clay Beads

Get creative and help create our signature beads! Gather your group to design and craft unique polymer clay beads. These handmade beads are added to our collections, bringing joy and comfort to children receiving Beads of Courage during their treatment journey. This hands-on project is perfect for service-learning activities.

Beads of Courage Polymer Clay Bead Making Kits provide a special way for caring individuals like you to create meaningful beads that support children in the Beads of Courage program. Crafting polymer clay beads is a fun activity for individuals, families, or groups, and is perfect for adults and kids ages 10 and up (younger children can also join with adult guidance).

One of the most cherished beads given to children in our program is the handmade polymer clay Member’s Choice bead. This bead marks the significant day a child is discharged from the hospital, sometimes after weeks or months away from home comforts.

Each kit contains materials and supplies to create 24 Member’s Choice beads. After creating the beads, you’ll send 20 beads and matching art cards back to Beads of Courage and keep 4 beads for yourself. Each returned bead and art card is lovingly packaged and delivered to children’s hospitals, helping kids and families commemorate their discharge day.

Choose from 5 different bead designs, with each kit priced at $40, including:

  • Your choice of Polymer Clay Bead-Making Kit (5 designs available)
  • Materials to create 24 beads—20 to return to Beads of Courage and 4 to keep
  • 20 Art Cards for decoration
  • 4 Courage Clips for the beads you keep
  • A prepaid return mailer for sending back your finished beads
