\"Lentil<\/p>\n

Having Trouble Making Evenly Shaped And Swirled Lentil Beads?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An extremely fun (and addictive) polymer clay bead to learn how to make, is the swirly lentil bead. The technique for rolling lentils is actually not that hard.<\/span> However without proper instruction, you may run into a few problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact a very common bead making challenge<\/a> for many, is how to keep lentil beads from bulging into an oval shape when you are rolling them out.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in purchasing a tutorial video that will show you exactly how to solve this problem, then check out Volume-001 at the Polymer Clay Tutor Members Library. The specific title in the Volume-001 order form is referenced as:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Vid-001-1<\/strong><\/span> Rolling Lentil Beads With Swirly Designs<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In this 6 minute, look-over-my-shoulder presentation, I teach you how to roll perfect lentil beads every time, using just an empty CD case or a piece of acrylic plexiglas as your tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also demonstrate how to hold the acrylic sheet so that your fingers circle slowly, keeping the shape of the lentil in a perfect circle. And how changing the pressure while rolling the lentil bead will change the ‘pointyness’ of the bead. Plus… how if you keep that pressure even, it will help to avoid creating ‘bulgy’ or oval-shaped beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you have always loved the look of the swirly lentil bead and you want to learn how to make them; Or if you are struggling with how exactly to roll them perfectly; Then why waste time and clay trying to figure it out yourself, when you can learn everything you need to know in a 6 minute video? <\/span><\/p>\n
