Step 4Cover.
Pick a wood bead to cover. Put a dab of liquid clay anywhere on the bead. Then place a slice of your cane on the dab of liquid clay.
Gently press down on the slice's edges so they conform to the bead's spherical form. The slice's edges will not lay perfectly flat and that is fine, don't force them to lay flat! The amount of pressure you put on polymer clay affects it's look...too much pressure and the clarity of your slice's rings and colors will be lost. Always be gentle!
Continue dabbing the liquid clay all over the bead and placing slices on the dabs until the bead is covered. But don't try to cover every single inch of the bead by overlapping slices!!! Some of the bead should still be visible for the next step to work properly.
