\"TubeVid #172:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>“I have
lots of bead roller tools,
but have yet to try most of
them.” ~Carolyn-F<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

I have been a fan of the tube bead shape for a long time… and have pretty much made them in every polymer clay technique… including Faux Raku, Mokume Gane, Zebra Canes, Kaleidoscope canes and even my newest technique, Polymer Clay Art Sheets<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past I’ve always used a flat piece of acrylic to make them. But it’s always been a bit tricky to get all sets of beads all end up consistently even and the same size. Not any more though… not since I discovered the Amaco Tube Bead Roller!<\/span><\/p>\n

You would think that a tool as simple as this would be self explanatory. However, there are several little tricks that will make it way easier for you to use. <\/span><\/p>\n

So on Friday, September 17th, 2010 at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-028-3), the members video tutorial will teach how make quick and easy cane covered tube beads using the Amaco Tube Bead Roller (set #1).<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Cindy and Doug for being our research department for new products, just as you’ve made the mistakes so we don’t have to, which saves us money on clay, your researching of anything new that could be beneficial to us and make our projects easier is SO much appreciated. Thank you SO very much.<\/span> ~Ken-H

My problem when I get the bead rollers out is that I can’t stop making beads. I’m a woman possessed. <\/span> ~Bonnie-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\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.
