Looking for a Christmas Present Idea For Someone Who Makes Sculpey or Fimo Jewelry Beads? If you or someone in your life makes polymer clay beads, a holiday gift they are sure to love is the Dremel Multi-Pro Rotary<\/span> tool.<\/span><\/p>\n Not only is this polymer clay tool fantastic for buffing beads, but it is also very handy for drilling holes in the beads after they have been baked.<\/span><\/p>\n Here is a direct link to Amazon where you can purchase a number of different Dremel Tool models<\/a> And for those who already own one of these versatile rotary tools, I have created a couple of tutorial videos on how to use it safely and effectively for polishing polymer clay beads. Check out Volume-004 at the Polymer Clay Tutor Members Library. The specific titles in the Volume-004 order form are referenced as:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Included with this Dremel Tool Tutorial are 3 other related videos plus 5 custom color recipe cards:<\/span><\/p>\n If you would like to first see preview clips of the Vid-004-3 and Vid-004-4 Dremel tutorial videos, you can do so here:<\/span><\/p>\n Dear Cindy, the Dremel tool has made such a difference!!! I am so grateful to have learned about it from you. I have carpel tunnel, and was wondering how I would manage to sand and buff all of my work without straining my wrists. I have been using my Dremel for about a week now, and thanks to you and this magnificent tool, I am buffing away with no problems at all! Thanks so much! ~CindyE<\/strong><\/span> My christmas list is expanding, I now put everything I would like in a book and whenever my husband sees it on the table his eyes roll & makes a very strange sound [something like – “Oh no, more overtime”].<\/span> ~Andrea<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thank you for showing that video as I had no idea on how to handle that. I have that tool and have never used the buffing wheel. Now I have a reason to use it. Thanks again. ~Pat<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thanks for the video, Cindy! I have a Dremel, used it once or twice in the past and ended up carving grooves in my beads. I should do better now, and I’ll get or make another wheel. ~Bev<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Great video on the Dremel buffing. Interesting the different effect on the different clays. I did not know that about the Sculpty. Thanks! ~Denby<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I stole my husband’s Dremmel tool years ago and ended up buying one of my own with variable speeds and tons of attachments to go with it! I don’t know what I would do without it!! I’m a multimedia artist and find a use for it in just about everything I do!(except in painting of course…lol) Thank you for the videos. ~Mary<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What an informative video! its all very well reading about using a tool to buff, but its only when you see how to hold the tool etc it all becomes clear:) Thanks you Cindy! ~Rachel<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Cindy, as always I enjoy the short tutorials on working with clay. I also use a dremmel and instead of holding the hand tool, I have a small vise I can attach to my work table so it holds the tool in place. To keep it from scratching the tool, simply glue felt or some craft foam sheets to the inside surface of the vice that do the gripping. You can use spray adhesive for this. This way you can use both hands to hold those hard to hold beads. Keep those videos coming. ~Lani<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Looking for a Christmas Present Idea For Someone Who Makes Sculpey or Fimo Jewelry Beads?
