And the jelly roll cane design is a<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> great place to start learning. They are very easy to make. Fun too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This popular beginner cane is made by rolling together 2 flat sheets of polymer clay, using contrasting colors. I often combine black and white, but the choice is yours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When selecting the clay for your cane, it&#8217;s best to choose the same brand for each color. Also be sure to condition each of the layers to the same degree. If one is softer or harder than the other, you may run into problems with the separate layers not &#8220;playing nice&#8221; together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Don&#8217;t worry if your jelly roll ends up bigger than expected. Large diameter canes can be shrunk down to very small sizes by a process called cane reduction. But that discussion is going to have to wait for another day.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\"
