Rolling Polymer Clay – What They Never Taught You in Kindergarten

Vid #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.

But for making polymer clay beads, you'll want a nice smooth and even log with a consistent diameter. So instead of rolling the clay under your fingers, angle the hand slightly and use the wide flat surface of your palm.

The full version of the "Making Clay Logs" preview video shown above, is included in my Polymer Clay Bead Making Fundamentals Course [SEE Video #22 of 39]. 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.
