Finish Molded Bead

11. Next, using the extra fine paint brush and red paint, brush some thin lines of red across and around the heart in a free form pattern. I thought of as looking like a piece ribbon wrapped around the heart when I painted this one. Notice how both sides pictures (this one and the one at the beginning of the project) are a little different.

12. Finally, coat with Sculpey glaze if you want a shiny finish to your bead. If you prefer a matte finish, then you may want to consider using something like gel medium (available in most art supply and craft stores).

Now you are ready to design a great piece of jewelry that will showcase your new bead creation.
