Making purple polymer clay dreadlock beads.

- I’m making purple and turquoise polymer clay dreadlock beads in this video. For this technique I create skinner blends that I cut into disks to extrude so that I can wrap them around a home made paper core to get large hole beads. After baking, l sand off the surface from the baked beads to reveal the colours below before cutting into separate hair beads.

Thank you for sharing‼️🇨🇦
I LOVE working with Polymer Clay. Take care & until the next video.🤗🙏🏻🌻
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Very involved. Thanks for sharing your process. 😊 They look very interesting. 😊
That was me trying to make simple beads 😁
This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I have this extruder which I haven't been fond of using. I might try again. Wish it came with the right side circle cutter to cut out the clay for the chamber.
It gets so squished it's extruded I don't think the cutter needs to be exact.
So how do you use them? Do you make a stopper bead?
They are intended to use on dreadlocks so you need the correct size for the hair. Pull the hair through until there is enough to hold it in place.
Can you also add alternative methods for those who don’t have tools like extruder and other pro things? 😅
You could do something similar by making a bullseye cane and reducing that although you won’t get the random colour variations unless you make the cane with gradients inside.
