Roll polymer clay into balls. Then with one finger, slowly roll them out into logs.
With two logs side by side at the bottom, stack the other log on top.
With both hands on each end of the logs, twist in opposite directions. Place twisted logs on a flat surface and gently roll to flatten out the creases.
Cut up equal sizes of the marshmallow log with a craft knife. Insert eyepins at the end. Bake in the oven following the polymer clay package instructions.
Once baked, allow to cool completely. With a paintbrush, apply a thin coat of all-purpose glue on the marshmallows (or use nail varnish) for a nice shine.
String with other beads to make into jewelry!
