Polymer Clay Bead Necklace | Delighted Momma
I’ve been poring over Delighted Momma’s DIYs and am now obsessed with polymer clay. I love the colours she has used in this one, perfect Spring colours. I’m going to try making the large round beads, but the combo of the small beads with the large ones does look cool! Don’t get stressed about it being super perfect, a little imperfection shows that it’s hand made and not mass produced!

2 oz peach syrup (recipe follows)
12 oz tonic water
2 oz plus 3 oz vodka (divided use)
Instructions:
1. Stir strawberry puree with 2 oz. of vodka. Place three teaspoons of strawberry mixture in the bottom of popsicle form; set aside. (As mentioned in last week’s cocktail popsicle, I used cordial glasses, but any form will work.)
2. Stir peach syrup with tonic water stir to combine. Add vodka and stir to combine.
3. Pour peach and vodka mixture over strawberry mixture and stir to combine.
4. Freeze for about 2 hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for a 2-3 seconds.
