Rolling perfectly round polymer clay beads

Rolling perfectly round polymer clay beads

I'm always working on new items to add to the store.  I spend a lot of time going through the process of designing, printing and testing with clay before I put items in the store.  I'm always a little afraid to show these items on Instagram because I can't be sure when, or even if, the item will be ready to sell.  It's so much fun when I make something new that works well with the clay so this seems like it might be a good place to show you some behind the scenes stuff.

I love the bead rollers I have in the store now because you don't need to have an exact amount of clay. I don't generally have too many scraps now because I just make beads with it.  I have tried a few bead rollers that I didn't like because they weren't easy to use.  Here's a look at my bead roller stash.

In particular, the round bead roller has been frustrating.  I just haven't developed the technique for rolling them nicely by hand.  So I was very excited to find my technique of weighing the clay works well for round beads. I'm planning to make a video to show how easy the roller is to use but here is a bracelet I've made so far, these are 8mm beads
