\"PolymerVid #171:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>“Is there
a way to make polymer
clay bead caps… and would
anyone be interested in a
tute besides me?”
~Honey-S<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

When you learn how to make polymer clay beads, it naturally leads you to making jewelry. And when you’re making jewelry, you need findings which often include bead caps. So when several of you recently asked if I would do a tutorial on how to make bead caps out of polymer clay… I said, “Of course!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I have a request for a tutorial. I love using beads caps on my beads. Do you know if that is even possible? I know that polymer clay is very veristal and you can do almost anything with it. If it can be done, Cindy I am sure you must have already done it :) Please teach us.<\/span> ~Brenda-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brenda, you must be reading my mind!! I’ve been wondering about making polymer clay bead caps, too. I’d love a tut on them, too.<\/span> ~Linda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Is there a way to make polymer clay bead caps? If so, would anyone be interested in a tute besides me?<\/span> ~Honey-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

You know, I wanted to post something the other day, asking Cindy if she’d consider doing a tut on bead caps! Thanks for reminding me Honey, and for suggesting it.<\/span> ~Tanya-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So… <\/em>I’m happy to announce that on Friday, September 10th at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-028-2), the members video tutorial will teach how make functional and creative polymer clay bead caps for adding that one-of-a-kind look to your jewelry creations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing. If you need help in these areas, my Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog.
