Contemporary Polymer Clay Bead Making
Well here it is one of my most highly requested tutorials BEAD MAKING! Now you know my style is contemporary, I like to use up my scraps, custom colour mix, use unique colour stories, think outside of the box with shapes and most of all I like to mix patterns!
You are going to see a necklace from start to finish, how I roll beads, how I plan and design my jewellery, how I use my signature shaping tool, how I refine my bead shapes, pressing in pattern, putting holes in beads, adding texture and foil, varnishing and stringing....this is literally my entire process! It is more than what I am able to share in some of my workshops due to time constraints, so ENJOY it!
Follow me and my maker friends on Instagram our clay community is @friclay we share lots contemporary clay related info, challenges, tutorials and more!

Just found your tutorial and I LOVE it! I haven’t tried making my own beads YET. You’ve made it look interesting and not a difficult as I thought Thank You!!!
I'm so glad I've found you! I love the contemporary designs you create. A lot of the tutorials I have found create pretty but kind of dated designs. This is so my vibe. -On your iPad, the continuous line looking work is very much like my cultures traditional patterns
I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I am a big fan of your work.

I can’t stop watching your videos. I’ve never really been into clay but I’m going to order some because I feel so inspired by your tutorials!
Your tutorials are amazing. This is so inspiring, and your voice overs are funny and so peaceful. I wish I lived closer so I could take a class with you.
I could watch these for hours. I got so excited that it was 43 min long.
Wow now I’m so inspired to try making beads with my scraps!!
Such a great video, can't wait to give beads a proper go 👍💖
You are amazing. i want to start making polymer clay jewellery and you are such an inspiration. And of course really helpful. Thank you!!

Congratulations. Excellent tutorial!!! I'm a beginner in Polymer Clay world. I'm so fascinated with your tutorials. Your Polly Collective shaping tool is so useful.

I love your videos. They motivate me to get up and work with polyclay. I have a question about the colors that you use. Are they color blends? Would you be able to make a video on blending colors to make new cool and pretty colors? thank you for sharing your work. I love it!
Thank you so much, this is probably the best tutorial i have seen for someone who is just starting out. I will definitely be purchasing your shaping and squishing tool : )

Once you get it you wont ever forget it....think of it this way - your basically using one side to tie a knot around the other side, and you want the end of that side to be facing down so you can pull the knot. I can do it with my eyes closed LOL
