Wooden Spool Beads A long, long time ago (well in Internet terms, anyway) I had a tutorial up for these beads. I'm putting together a "quickie" tutorial for them here.
This pre-supposes a basic knowledge of working with polymer clay, for which there is a LOT of information on the internet. I recommend starting with the Polymer Clay FAQ at Polymer Clay Central So without further ado: SUPPLIES Polymer clay Roller or pasta machineCutting blade (a wall paper scraping blade works well for larger cuts, a craft knife is handing for finer trimming) Wooden spools Acrylic paint Click the "read more" button to go to the instructions. Mini Polymer Clay Bunting Wee little bunting in polymer clay!
To make your own, you will need: Polymer clay Roller or pasta machine Cutting blade Wooden dowels or toothpicks Scissors Twine or embroidery thread Beads.

I found the silicone basting brush, which was practically begging to be made into a puppet. I was then in "creature making mode," and found a chenille scrub brush and duster that also wanted a new and exciting life as puppets.

This project requires a power tool, so SAFETY FIRST! Make sure to follow tool precautions (long hair tied back, eye protection, etc.) If you don't have a drum handy, an empty coffee can or a bucket work well to pound out a rhythm!

I love watching fireworks, whether it's the pull out all the stops show put on for Independence Day at our local fairgrounds, or the simple fountains we set off in the backyard during a Fourth of July BBQ. This is a cane inspired by those colorful explosions!
This tutorial assumes a basic knowledge of working with polymer clay. The Polymer Clay FAQ at Polymer Clay Central is a good place to start if you are a novice at polymer clay. You need: *Work surface. I like to use a 12X12 marble tile I picked up at the hardware store. *Sharp cutting blade. You can order specialty blades, but I prefer using a wallpaper scraping blade. This might be in part because there is a paint store across the street from me, and I can walk over and grab a new box whenever I need fresh, sharp blades! *Black clay (Or a deep, dark purple could also look very cool) *Glow-in-the-dark clay. I used the classic "white" glow-in-the-dark, but you can also get different colors of glow-in-the-dark. Or you could just go with a bright or fluorescent orange, blue, purple, yellow, etc. *Your HANDS! The most important tool. Click "read more" to go to the instructions |
