I think I recognize one of my canes that I made a few years ago. Surprised it is still any good. Beautiful beads.

Hi! You know, I have heard about some folks forming them around a pop can, but I also heard of one that uses the polyform clay rollers to do a half circle like you do for the beads. Peel the tube of clay out and then form it around a pop can or something similar. I have not tried this, but it is on my list of things to try. I think IrisMishly has a few tutorials on bangle bracelet. Here is one of them. http://www.etsy.com/listing/80969092/polymer-clay-tutorial-polypedia-e-book

I also have metal cuff blanks that I use to create cuff bracelets. I have none for sale the moment, but those are fun bracelets to make too.

This is a great idea! I have wanted to make a bangle out of my clay, but haven't gotten it to work yet. I tried forming it on a pop can, but it came out too chunky.

Hey, what a nice surprise to be mentioned here! Funny how you just never know when an inspiration is going to pop up. Turquoise and orange - have used that color combo before; feel the need to do that now :). Many ear scritches to Blu! Thanks again!

Thank you so much!

I used premo and the hasbro play-doh, you might have something there. I wonder how it would do with homemade dough?

You have more patience than I, I get frustrated with the reduction at the petal stage. I am not coordinated enough to get that tiny without smashing it to bits :)

As always, we keep trying new things and working until we find something we like.

Cute daisies! Wouldn't your tiny cane be the cutest little beads?

I found my canes went tacky with some types of play doh and not with others.Hasbro playdoh was alright for me with Kato clay.

I felt much the same as you when I tried it. It's great to have backgroundless canes and it's a neat idea but the amount of scrap clay you need and hassle of cleaning it up...

I tend to just make small canes now, reducing at the petal stage. Can be a little fiddly, and can be a really long bit of cane for a while but it works.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun :)
