The full tutorial video will be<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> posted in the Polymer Clay Tutor Library later this week!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In this polymer clay tutorial video, I will show you how you can take a slice form any round polymer clay cane, and create these delicate ruffled flower beads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you have followed this blog for awhile, you will know that I absolutely love to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/make-flower-beads-from-single-polymer-clay-cane-slice\/2306\/\">flower beads<\/a>. There is something so freeing about the way the clay ripples and folds. Even old polymer canes or ones with distorted ends can be used with this flower bead making technique to produce beautiful results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The bead shown in the photo above is referred to as a Trumpet Flower Bead because of its long neck shaped like the horn of a bugle or trumpet instrument. It lends itself wonderfully to dangling earring designs, beaded pendants and fresh looking flower charms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you are interested in learning how to make this trumpet flower bead the full tutorial video will be available in the members library later this week <em>[See Video 009-4].<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">But you can watch a preview clip right now if you like, by scrolling down on this page a bit.
