The photos above, from left to right, correspond with the 4 paid tutorials now available in our Polymer Clay Tutor Store (Volume-019).
Video-019-1 Extruder Flower Cane: The easiest flower cane you will ever make. Originally created by Nathalie of France at the Parole de Pate site, then adapted by Galina Grebennikora of Russia. The idea is so simple, it will have you quite literally ‘cranking out’ millefiori flower beads in no time at all! There are some tips and tricks to getting this technique right, but it is easy once you know what they are.
Video-019-2 Wire Cord Ends: When you make polymer clay beads, there comes a time when you need to turn your beads into jewelry. Making your own cord ends will not only save you money and the time it takes to buy them, but it will also give your pieces a unique, one of a kind look. These useful findings can be made in a variety of sizes and colors, and can be used with cord, leather, ribbon, silk, hemp or whatever heavy stringing material you choose.
Video-019-3 Faux Bone or Ivory: A wonderful benefit about polymer clay is its ability to imitate so many other types of materials. One thing it imitates very well is Ivory and Bone. This technique is not only easy and fun to do, but it is also great for making realistic looking faux carved bone beads… excellent for unisex jewelry pieces.
Video-019-4 Faux Carved Beads: Do you love the look of carved beads made from ivory, bone, wood and other natural materials? If so, then you’re going to love this tutorial! The techniques are so easy and fun to master! And the beads go great with tribal or ethnic styled jewelry designs, which are hot trends right now. It’s way safer than doing real carving, too. Do you want to know the secret carving tool? It’s a plastic lid from a Bic pen! You’ll be surprised at the ancient looking beads you can create with such a modern and simple tool!

@Ken: Thanks for your input!
@Manon: Me too!
@Margaret… making beads is my middle name… so yes… I can definitely help you :) — The link by my name will take you to a recent post I did which outlines the various ways you can utilize this site to learn about polymer clay bead making. In your case as a beginner, I would advise that you consider option #5 in my list at that other post. It discusses the Polymer Clay Beginners Course. If you have specific questions, just let me know. I’m here to help.
I received Polymer Clay items for Christmas gifts. I have never worked with clay of any kind before but it looks interesting, so I’d like to try. My question is where do I start? My interest is in making beads. Can you help me?

I have my subscription paid for by PayPal linked to a checking account, it takes around 7-10 days for paypal, your bank, and Cindy’s bank to work their internet magic and I’ve NEVER had a problem, if I used a debit card instead of an old fashioned ATM card they would go through much much faster.
Hi Cathy. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying my free video tutorials. If you want to subscribe to the weekly videos at the discounted rate of $9.95 each 90 days (these tutorials are released on Friday morning at the Members Library), then you will need to have a PayPal account set up.
But the good news is you don’t have to have a credit card to be able to use PayPal. The funding source that you link to your PayPal account can be your bank or direct debit card.
Or, if you are fine with purchasing the non-subscription back issues at the $9.95 per volume rate, then you could pay with a cashiers check if you like. Obviously the payment processing takes longer, but yes, it can work.
Let me know which option works for you.
I have taken a class on polymer clay and i love it i have made several pieces of jewerly and taken some extra class on jewelry making. I love all the videos that you send me i would love to recieve your pkg but currently i am not using my credit card. How else could i join cashiers ck be fine with you.
Hi Manon,
The 5 year “subscription” reference for the One-Time-Fee back issue packages is there because PayPal requires my library system to set a time limit for the access period. Five years is the longest interval they allow for these stand-alone, one-time-fee, back issue packages.
But you can rest assured that the $9.95 you pay for these stand-alone back issue packages is in fact just a one time fee, and not an ongoing subscription.
I admit the wording is a bit confusing, but unfortunately PayPal does not give me the option to edit that message.
The only “ongoing” subscription fee is when you sign up for the $9.95 each 90 days, to receive the weekly video tutorials as they are released on Friday mornings.
Hi Cindy
Thank you ! And I cant wait for the next video next week!
Manon from Quebec

My New Year’s wish for you Elizabeth… is to be happy! Judging by your two Spotlight article features so far, I know you are already mastering a fraction of this stuff. Thanks for post.
if I master just a fraction of the content in this ever growing library I will be happy.
