Vid #135: <\/span> “Oh Yeah! The more of a project I can do without going to the store for something, the better.” ~Ken-H<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s pretty much a given that when you make your own polymer clay beads and pendants, that you’ll also want to create finished jewelry pieces with them at some point. And in order to make polymer clay jewelry, you will need to have some jewelry findings.<\/span><\/p>\n

But findings can be expensive. And sometimes it’s hard to source them in the size or metal color that you want for a particular jewelry project.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why it is so nice to be able to make some of your findings right there at your work table…. in the exact size and color that you want… for just the cost of a few pennies each.<\/span><\/p>\n

So coming up on Friday December 11th in the polymer clay library (Volume-019-2), I will be teaching you how to make your own versatile wire cord ends in the weekly members tutorial video.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would really love to learn how to make the cord ends. They are so expensive to purchase and sometimes even hard to find in the color of wire you want. I am very interested in any jewelry findings you could help me with. That is an area I will take all the help I can get. Cindy as far as I am concerned anything you want to teach will be more than worth learning. I don’t think that talented imagination of yours knows how to come up with something people wouldn’t love to learn. Count me in YOU TEACH AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO LEARN IT!!!!!!!!<\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Peggy-B<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please please please do a tutorial on cord ends! I have 4 sons and they all love surf bracelets just like you have shown. I would love the opportunity to make something for them and this is the only jewellery item that they would wear. It is getting very hot here (Australia) and surf bracelets made with polymer clay and embellished with Bali silver beads would be the perfect gifts at Christmas! Look forward to the tutorial. <\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Cara-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I too would like a vid. As much as I love your clay videos, I also would like help in the areas of jewelry findings and design. <\/span><\/span>~Carrie-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know how to make wire cord ends however I think you should do a tutorial on it so everyone knows. I find it an invaluable thing to know!<\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Melinda-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amassing so many beads that I’m really going to have to brush up on my jewellery making skills … Must admit to be struggling with all the different types of cording, cord ends and clasps and which wire goes with which.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Polyanya<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My biggest problem is figuring out how to put beads together in a finished project which is why I end up with “more beads and more beads and more beads”, they seem to multiply-Who new!!!<\/span><\/span> ~Anna-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
