OK, so now I will be on the hunt for itty bitty plastic bottles for an itty bitty bead roller. That was pure genius, and as was mentioned below, a MacGyver invention! Well done!
I said a prayer of thanks for you tonight. Thank you for taking the time and energy to do these videos and share your creativity. In this time of unsettledness you have brought comfort. I thank you and wish you a peaceful Christmastime.
I just now discovered you and your homemade bead roller. This has given me so much hope for a better future learning how to craft. I am almost 70 and I live in my car with my emotional support animal. I am going to go to storage and pull out all my beads I purchased from Fire Mountain Gems. This will give me something to do while waiting for a subsidized apt to open. I love you and your video. I love Fire Mountain Gems!
Love it, only problem is I now find myself giving the evil eye to all possible bead roller bottles in the house, wishing they would hurry up and empty !!
ever since I started making a thing out of things we throw away all the time I look at it before I toss it out to see if I have another use for it. My parents think I am crazy.
I am as well but I've been looking at all the recyclables to see what else I could turn it into... Before even watching this video now I just have another reason to hold on to it all lol
Fantastic idea I have a deformed right hand and have always had trouble rolling as my fingers are bent inwards to palm I'm going try make this it would make it a lot quicker for me. The beads you have made are beautiful.
This is AMAZING! Ive been using homemade clay for over 30 years and Ive never even seen a bead roller! Not only have you opened my eyes, youve made something free and recycled too! 10/10 for this video ! thanks!
Love watching and listening, oh, and learning. Always learning. You're a bit groovy you know. I'm 70, and was around when groovy was invented, and you are it. Love your work and enthusiasm. Don't curb it. Lol. Hugs from Sherie.
OMG! I couldn't find anything with that shape around the house. But I do have lots of old pill bottles. Not the easiest to cut so I used a combo of a box cutter and old scissors. I wish I could send you a picture of the set I made. Very sturdy and made a perfect bead! Thanks for the ingenious idea. You rock!
Love the barrel beads - BEAUTIFUL! Also your bead roller is ingenious! Love that you recycle items for clay. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea.
Thank you for this tutorial. I was on the hunt for a roller for larger beads to make swirly lentil beads. I like to take scrap clay with lots of colors and roll them in one direction only and it swirls them. You take the bead and squish it from the ends and you have a swirly lentil!
I made a bead roller out of a face soap bottle I just emptied while I was watching you. So awesome for you to share your tips with us, so we can make great beads, too. Thank you!
You have really inspiritered me to make some beads. You are a wonderful artist and instructor. It is a blessing to have you share your knowledge with me. Have a wonderful week. Thank you
You are absolutely brilliant! I’m brand new to polymer clay; therefore, I am gobbling up all the tips and tricks you are generously sharing! Thank you!
I know this is probably an old video. But that is stinking and genius. I just spent a fortune on beat rollers. And I'm about to go cut myself. Some homemade ones after I watch your video. That's ingenious absolutely ingenious. I love DYI. Although I wish I had found your video before I blew all my money. That's okay, though. Live and learn
You are totally genius time ,big time . Now I can proof to my hubby everything I save because crafting one day have it uses :) I have small bottles saved for just in case and now I have a case . Thank You so much again for your tutorial .
Very inventive use of what is on hand! I appreciate the instructions about adding in glitter - I am excited to try it out. I've been collecting interesting add-ins for years, without realizing that I was preparing for fancy clay beads!!!!
So i made a solid color barrel bead -with pearl and glitter of course- check. i have a couple bullseye canes i make into leaf shapes to cover the ends...check. i screw the whole thing up and end up with gorgeous little "tye dye" cube beads!! LOL Thank you for the wonderful tutorials ive spent hours on them.
I love your ideas of recicling just about anything,I'm all for it.,and make something beautiful.This add more of my recicling receipe Thank you for sharing on how to make barrel beads💞.
Yes, I am I'm in my going into my bathroom with all my shampoo battles and cut them down. The empty ones I mean, LOL absolutely ingenious. I have subscribed already To your channel can't wait to watch the rest of your stuff
I have started trying to make more beads myself and just discovered your channel. Thank you for all the fantastic ideas. I now am obsessed with your channel. :)
i love the way you squealed with excitement when your bead roller worked. i am the same and my family think i am nut's for getting so excited. me....i'm just glad when something goes right. I was thinking could you make a clay mould of the roller's? i guess you will try it and let us know. well done girly. and good use of every day rubbish. x
Heres a trick. Get your blow dryer and heat up the bottle for a minute or so then it will cut like butter. It will also allow you to fiddle with the shape of the roller. I'm going to make some rollers these for the kinetic sandbox in the classroom. Good coordinatio and fine motor task for the kiddos. The volume is a bit low, maybe a mic would help. Very interesting video. Your dogs are right, something magical is happening out there.
You deserve way more subs! Tfs I don't roll beads for jewelry but, I DO roll acrylic (while its moldable) for 3d nail art pieces! Much cheaper to make your own clear oval shaped "gem" than to buy them! I've been doing them by hand with plastic bag & my fingers & they NEVER come out uniform, EVER! This may remedy my issue
Love love ur videos! Thank u for taking the time to show us new people the tricks and trades without investing alot of money and using tools around the house! I appreciate the time you spend on these tutorials and videos and THANK YOU FOR YOYR TIME IN THIS😃 HEATHER
Someone probably already suggested this, but I'm not gonna read all the comments to find out. ill just risk being redundant for a good cause! 😁 Put the conditioned clay and glitter in a plastic baggy, seal it, squeezing out the air💨, and mush with your hands (if the roller doesn't work through the bag) until it's all grabbed up by the clay. No more glitter flying through the air, or a lot less, anyway. 😎 I love that, now I have something to do with all the glitter I've hoarded as a scrapbooker. Hmmm, now I need lots of clay. 😂 Ty for your tutorials and the peeks at your precious pup!💕💟💤 just love her.
lol. I love this video ! Thank you ! I’m at an airport by myself in the middle of a ton of people, and when you said that looks like ‘a poop” , I burst out hysterical laughing! I thought you were going to say a little wonky, but nope ! 😂
thanks for sharing.. I made one and it worked awesome...I also cut up some containers and used the top part (cut part) to use as a cutter some have a real nice oval shape... different sized containers made different shapes.. I cut off both ends so the polymer will come out easer if I need to nudge it a little from the top.. love your work.. I wait each week hopping you will have something new for us... thanks so much Susan..
OK, so now I will be on the hunt for itty bitty plastic bottles for an itty bitty bead roller. That was pure genius, and as was mentioned below, a MacGyver invention! Well done!
Dollar Tree, or travel section of drugstore.
Wow!!! I love that bead roller idea. Thanks for sharing that. I have some of these oval shaped bottles so I will make me a bead roller. Thanks again.
I said a prayer of thanks for you tonight. Thank you for taking the time and energy to do these videos and share your creativity. In this time of unsettledness you have brought comfort. I thank you and wish you a peaceful Christmastime.

Kudos what a brilliant idea. I will be looking at bottles in a whole new way. Thank you for sharing your idea.

If you have a Dremel with a cutting wheel use that
Love the barrel beads - BEAUTIFUL! Also your bead roller is ingenious! Love that you recycle items for clay. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea.
