Rolling Polymer Clay - What They Never Taught You in Kindergarten

Tip #26: Rolling Polymer Clay Logs Evenly By Hand:

In kindergarten you probably learned how to roll playdoh logs using your fingers and finger tips. That's fine if you want a log that has ripples or ridges all the way down the length of it.

What's even better than using your palm to roll polymer clay logs is to use a see-through sheet of acrylic plastic or plexiglas. In this video I demonstrate how to hold the plexiglas sheet to get good results every time.
