I knit and thats not cheap for many many projects so this is wonderful. Thank you so much. I will make this tool. Makin beads for selling at craft fairs in bracelets i created is what i want to do.

Hi Amy, I do make paper beads and this looks like it will be so much easier than doing it on the outside of the dowel, which uncurled easily. Anyway, you probably know this but a good filler for polymer clay is aluminum foil and it would probably make the pins sturdier so they don't slouch as much, another good outcome with the AF is that you don't need to use as much polymer clay since it can be very expensive. But I would still do what you did and roll some parchment to stick underneath each side. Great idea. Thank you. be well and be safe. 🙏😷💕

@aljohn4 жыл бұрын
Hello Marlene :) Thank you for the sweet comment :) The cotter pin decides the size of your hole in the bead, and you can get them in all different sizes :) The size of your bead depends on the width of the paper, and how long it is :) If you make a really small bead with just a small amount of wraps of paper, make sure you cover it with nail polish and let it get hard so the bead does not get squashed :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

Could you use air dry clay?
@aljohn4 жыл бұрын
Hello Sarah :) I have never really used air dry clay so I am not sure, but I think it would work because you do not really put any kind of stress or pressure on the handle :) I think it would be worth giving it a try :) :) Stay Safe :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

Hello Chitter :) The cost to make and ship you one would be quite expensive. You could pick up the supplies and make your own for much less :) Give it a try, it is not hard at all :) tfw, and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy

I’ve tried this. Making the handles 1/2 “ thick but after 2 weeks they cracked on me. Not advisable. 😮

Nice one Amy, my hands are getting sore with arthritis, I work with polymer clay all the time and I have a big ball of mixed waste to use, so I think I’ll do me a couple of these as the handle is so much better than the one I have it’s too thin, with the clay I can make it as thick as I need! I have lots I can use to get some texture one good thing is a cheese grater, or a detailed rubber stamp, or something chunky knitted.....I’m rambling again lol Can’t wait to see what you make next week.
