Do you have some extra polymer clay cane pieces just sitting around getting old? Maybe you’ve already made enough beads using that particular cane design and you’re a little bored with it? Or maybe you made a few mistakes on the cane, so you’re not motivated to use it. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

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

\n

Over the years I accumulated piles of reject canes. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Dora-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No worries! You can make awesome new canes with those old scrap canes, easily and quickly. And so detailed… they will look like you spent hours on them!! Sound good?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s great knowing you can make beautiful beads and designs from left overs. I\u2019ve been saving my scrap clay and old canes for ages… just waiting for something to do with them :) Thank you Cindy. <\/span>~Rachel-W<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think I have about 50 canes right now but I am trying to use my old canes so I can make a new collection of canes. <\/span>~Melinda-H<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I never throw anything away and still have some very old canes. It’s fun to think they might be used after all! <\/span>~Koolbraider<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just goes to show you… never toss out your scraps or the old clay pieces! <\/span>~Rob-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On Friday, Nov 12th, 2010 at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-030-2), you will learn how to turn any old polymer clay cane (or new ones if you don’t have any old ones), into detailed looking Feather Canes that you can use for making into earrings, pendants, and a variety of interesting polymer clay beads.<\/span> <\/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.
