It's just a matter of spending the time to pick out the clay with a fine tipped tool. I talked about this very situation in my Vol-013-1 video (see link by my name). In the video, I also give you lots of tips on how to prevent that situation from happening again... using very kinds of release agents and techniques.

A relative had shown me a flower petal bead last summer and when I lost my dad Dec. 10, 2009, I really began to think about making petal beads and after going online and finding your website and course available, just had to take it. Experimented with crushed dried flower petals and the polymer clay and have made bracelets for my two sisters, mother, and myself; also matching earrings. They loved them. For the bracelets I added Swarovski lead crystal beads and 14k gold plated corrugated beads. One had sterling silver corrugated beads and Swarovski lead crystal beads. These gifts meant so much to them and also to me. We had a wonderful dad and miss him so much. What a precious way to have keepsakes. Thank you Cindy.

It is possible to push the clay through a pastry bag, but it would have to be 'thinned down' to the consistency of icing to do it. You can thin the clay with liquid polymer clay or baby oil. You could however lose some of the strength in the clay if you used the oil. You may want to try an extruder instead. Click the link by my name for more info on those. Hi Claudia great question!

I haven't even opened the variety pack of sculpty I just purchased. Would it be possible to push the polymer clay through a cake decorating ( icing ) bag with a decorator tip? O just thought I'd ask before I make a mess. -Claudia I am venturing into the unknown here. I haven’t even opened the variety pack of sculpty I just purchased.
