- This is the technique i use to swirl my peppermint cane.
Let me know if you guys want to see a tutorial for the cane itself soon, otherwise I will do the cane closer to the holidays :)
I thought since I am adding cant tutorials slowly, that you should know of this fun technique :)

Dear Heather....I have had some amazing results using metallic gold and bronze with reds and browns. I am now going to try blues with silver and purples. You are right!! It is addictive!!! Donz.
NO WAY!! This is so beautiful and I can see why you say it's addicting! Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
:)
I love it, but don't do it very often.
Would love to see the peppermint one done...please don't wait until the holiday season!
Hello :)
I will try to do one soon then.
Heather
great technique love your niece's addition to the video!
Hilary Spenceley Thanks :) She is funny
Something that also works For your swirling plate-the piece you manipulate to make the swirled lental shapes-are the clear side of an old cd case. Less chance of breakage and possible injury.
Leigh Perry Thanks for sharing your tip :)

Leigh Perry I
love these colors! thanks for the tutorial! also, love the little angel voices in the background- such a cutie! "why?" awwwww
Thank you
Mesmerizing to watch, so I can see why this tech would get addicting.
It was fun
Thanks for showing us how to do these. Very pretty.
That is so cool!! I make tie dye clothes and now using this technique I can make tie dye effect buttons to match! Thank you so much for showing this, really looking forward to giving this a go! :D Kate x
Angelchakra I hope they turn out well, I would love to see photos :)
I will post photos as soon as I have made some :) Just need to stock up on some polymer clay now! :D Kate x
This is fantastic Heather!! I can't wait to try it out!! Thank you for inspiring great ideas!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful work!
Redinna Long Thank you so much
I I like how they look also.
Thank you
I love doing these
This is great! I tried a different tutorial once that only used two finger to swirl it. It worked but really smudged the colors together. This was so helpful, thank you! Since I don´t have a small glass thingy I will try with the bottom of a drinking glass.
If you have any small picture frames you can use the glass from those too.
The glass on top will need to be completely flat on the bottom.
Good luck :)
I hope it turns out great.
This is an awesome technique thank you for introducing it to me! Ive been looking up all the other swirly bead techniques and adding cane cuttings and other designs im just starting out but I think these could be really fun to get good at!
Thank you :)
I hope to do the cane soon for it. I have seen amazing cane slice ones that are beautiful
I have successfully used acrylic (1/8" thick) instead of glass and I do all my clay work on a smooth ceramic tile. I got the acrylic at Tap Plastics online, 4" square samples were inexpensive. They could also be used for stamps.
Thanks for sharing :) I will have to try that :)
To be honest, my fear of using glass is due to my klutz genes being dominant...
I have to say, I do not have a talent with polymer clay. I realized working with it made me tense and anxious, so I threw it all away. Never looked back.
Thanks for sharing :). It may really help others that feel the same way. Did you find a craft you love that is relaxing?
@@heathernwells I learned to make really delicate roses with crayola clay, and I just do a lot of different things, as creativity drives my spirit. Thanks for responding. appreciate it.
Absolutely fantastic!!! I`ve made several beads and it was NOT difficult!! A great tutorial.....thanks.....Donz
donna ashbrook Thank you so much!
donna ashbrook I am so glad they turned out well!
Wow! I love the swirl technique! It's so cool! (And I love your nail art :) )
it made me feel sick.
Awesome technique, but omg that sound of hands rubbing together when rolling the clay is like nails on a chalkboard for me! Lol. Beautiful work though! Thanks for sharing.
omg SAME girl!!
Thank you 😊
Great tutorial and talent you have~! but those nails ...... especially that thumb?
I thought my nails had to be interesting for UA-cam. Thankfully I have gotten over that feeling lol
Very good tutorial. I have tried this before and it isn't easy. Never have seen to place it on a piece of glass though and then roll it with another piece of glass. I will have to try that. The little voice coming in was so unexpected and totally cute. :D
- Heidi
I find that it works best if both pieces of glass are completely clean. I wipe the glass every few to make sure to get rid of any clay debri/ plasticizer that is left behindBlackCat2
I use a stamping block, the ones you can get for cling stamps, it works great! I also found a small glass cutting board at Wal-mart for about $6, it's textured on once side (which comes in handy sometimes!) and smooth on the other. I think they are tempered so it's harder to break.
I can't wait to see the peppermint video, I'm only a few months into working with clay and I'm not sure I understand what you mean by working from a cane for the peppermints versus working from the marbling that you did in this video.
Heather Wells I have become much better at making these and I do love doing it. It is like meditation for me. That all ends though when I try to get a hole going through it. Makes me crazy and irritated. :p If i just do a hole in the top for a bale then I am fine. If I actually try to make it work like a bead then more often than not I ruin it. :p
Awesome! Love the colours
Thank you
vraiment très joli effet, le tuto est clair et efficace on voit bien les images et la technique est si simple.Merci pour ce tuto très agréable à regarder.
Thank you so much
fantastic! heather
If you keep your fingertips just on the table as you turn the glass, the beads will come out level every time and not pull out from the edge.
Thank you so much!
These are so cute! I'm making lollypops and I have some that are really small, so I was thinking of making earing's with them!
that sounds super cute!
That sounds super cute!
I know right?
I love doing this, I do mine a little different but same affect.
This is really cool, I guess I'll have to practice! Your niece sounds so cute
Thank you :)
She is adorable.
Very pretty, I'm going to try this technique with porcelain air dry clay and see what happens
Lorraine Brooks I would love to know how it turns out :)
Cool technique!
Thank you so much!
As always love your videos, thank you.
Thank you so much for letting me know :)
I am so glad you like them.
Heather
I would love to see a your tutorial for the cane!!
I will try to do it pretty soon.
I will be making a big announcement for the holidays :)
Love love them 😻🙏🏽
Thank you!
This is so nice. I can never get this technique the way I want it.
Since I only do it for my peppermints once a year, it feels like starting from the beginning each Holiday season lol. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to find the exactly right rhythm, sitting, and hand position.
Once I get it, I can do them pretty well, but probably make a good 20 - 30 before I get going right.
Yes. By practicing and using your tutorials i think I will be satisfied enough by December lol.
I'm slightly confused. Your explanation and description was really detailed and helpful until it came to the mention of wrapping around another piece of clay which we weren't shown. Could you show that, please.
Sorry if I circle back around to this I will
Nice bead, want to do more !
suji singh Thank you
Very Beautiful Bead. I look forward to trying out this technique. As I'm new to making clay pieces.i noticed at the end yours had a beautiful shine to them. What do you use to get that lovely glossy shine.:)
Nicky
Nicky Smiles If I had time I would sand them with a really fine grit sand paper, then buff them for a lasting shine. I use varnish. I have been using triple thick, but is seems that there are some newer laws that forced the manufacturers of clear glazes across many industries to change their formulas. Since this change, I have heard some people are having problems with some varnishes getting sticky after a few months.
I haven't had a problem with triple thick getting sticky, but I hope to test some other varnishes soon.
Thank you for sharing this! I can't wait to try it. Your nieces in the background sound cute!
Thank you so much
What a cool technique! I'm a complete newbie seeking simple techniques to start with. Just learned marbling and swirling from you. Hope they are as simple as you make them seem. TFS!
OMGoodness, camera was too close to your work surface or zoomed in too much. Guess you need to for your mini's.
Oh! Question: I'm a stamper, so I have bunches of clear acrylic blocks, will they work in place of glass? I know acrylic won't be as cool to the touch, but just a smooth as glass.
I think they would would just as well. Did you try it out? How did it work for you
You make this craft look so simple! I was swirling along with your video and mine turned out like a hot mess! The colors blended together, couldn't see a swirl, so I just added to my scrap clay collection. I'm using Sculpey III in a warm room, I bet that had something to do with my failure. What kind of clay did you use? And was the room cooler?
Premo is a better product than Sculpey III.
Sorry I missed this. Premo is way better. Fimo is popular too. But harder to condition
Real cool! Thank you for sharing! enjoy the your video's
Thank you so much
@@heathernwells You’re very welcome ! 😊
Great job Heather...tfs
Thank you so much
Thanks, very interesting to watch….
Thank you so much
What colors of clay did you use??? Their soooo pretty!!!
***** I can't remember right now. I will try to watch later to remember.
The red peppermint is pomegranite and white Premo
Just a thought, why not practice on a plain color until you get the technique and shape? Then progress to mixed colors. It would be more economical.
Thanks for your suggestion
Heather mills,
Would love to see more.
Mary Stoddard Thank you so much. I hope to be filming again soon
Wow thanks Heather
Thank you
me and my friend did it she said you AMAZING!!!!
Tell her, or him thanks :)
i will tell her
Thanks a lot this tutorial really helped me:)
Thank you so much! I am glad it helped :)
Heather
Hi Heather, I do my candy canes a different way but I like the way you do yours. I will have to show you how I do mIne on my channel. BTW, I heard a little voice in the background, is it a boy? Girl? How old? Are they your child? Grandchild? Just curious. Just being nosey, LOL It looks like it's time to do your nails again, what will you be putting on them this time? Pastry items? Can't wait to see what you come up with. Anyway, have a great week! Dee
Hi Dee,
I will come check out your channel and sub scribe :)
This time in the background my two nieces stopped by. One is just turning 2, and the other just turned 4. I have a 5 year old son, and a 13 year old daughter.
I had an idea for one nail in particular, it is a mojito, I didn't know whether it will work or not, so decided to go with Mexican Food this time. I made a couple tiny quesadillas, a burrito and cheese enchilada. I made a lime cane for the mojitos. I may try a margarita, or tequila sunrise as well. It's funny, I don't drink, it makes me really sick. Anything more than a small glass, and I am really ill. I think the drinks are pretty though..
My nail appointment is Saturday night :)
thank you for this great tutorial :)..
ana ondit Your welcome, Thank you so much for watching
My bead keeps sticking to the glass, and not swirling
Lynn, I too have found that sometimes the clay sticks to my glass. I finally figured out that the clay was too warm or over conditioned! I let the clay get cooler by either putting it in the fridge for a few minutes or leaving it and coming back a couple of hours later
Thank you for responding. I will put it in the fridge if it is too soft as well
Usually the means it is too warm. I put it in the fridge 20 to 30 minutes when that happens
Hi Heather, it's a really great tutorial I didn't know this technique, I only push a piece of glass and turn it on clay, but yours is much more better ! It reminds me Willy Wonka factory :D
Thanks, I found the technique online some years back, when I was having issues getting a clean swirl. I hope you can get some use out of it sometime.
Heather
Beautiful
Thank you so much
Have you ever swirled a citrus cane like this?
+Luvjeordie Studios Not yet, but I have thought that it would look pretty cool. I plan on trying next time I do a pink grapefruit cane :)
I think that would look amazing. Pink grapefruit, and maybe a watermelon swirled.
Luvjeordie Studios πηλος
If you want to make them as a bead, how & where do you place the hole?? Thanks!
Hola, deseo preguntarte, existen polímeros de colores o se le añade al blanco algún tipo de tinturas ?? Gracias
Sorry about the delay, there are colors of polymer clay. have fun :)
very nice, thanks for sharing!
Thank you
great job! :)
Thank you : )
Heather
Bellisimos
Great ! Great ! Great ! BIIIIIIG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! :D
ME ENCANTA TU TÉCNICA, ME GUSTARÍA SABER CUANTO TIEMPO HAY QUE HORNEARLAS Y A CUANTOS GRADOS CENTIGRADOS, GRACIAS SALUDOS DESDE HONDURAS
Puede leer sobre los paquetes del arcillo de polímero. Cada marca es diferente

Thank you
Thank you :)
Thank you
i love this and would like to make some earrings so how and when do you out a hole in the bead
teresa m Almost all my foods, I place the hole in after baking. I force through a pin, let it rest a few minutes and then put in my head pin. In this case (or for miniatures I want to string) it works best to stick the pin through before baking. Just make sure you aren't using sewing pins with the plastic balls on the back in the oven.
Thanks
What gloss did you use on the peppermints?
hello very nice I would like to know where are we could buy the modeling leg and the showcase with which we form these beautiful pearls
The brand was sculpey premo.. and it was at most crafts stores… for the small glass piece can’t remember.. I think it was from a ti y frame.
I'm sorry but could you describe how to do the same but just green white I live in Ukraine and do not know much English and so I ask again please.
Sorry I missed this. If I start working with clay again I will try to revisit this
may i kno how do u polish polymr clay jewellery....???
can anyone hlp me in this...??
For a nice polish without glaze. You need to sand with progressively smaller grit. Ending with the super fine sandpaper (think automotive). Use wet/dry then sand wet to prevent dust in your lungs. Then you buff it with a micro fiber cloth.. it’s extremely tedious but gives gorgeous results
cool thanks :)
Jessica Sanders Thank you
what is the item u used for making the round ball into pendent
Vamsi Krishna I took the glass out of a small picture frame :)
ok thnq madam for clarifying my doubt
can we use glass plate for it
Vamsi Krishna Yes :)
Do you need to work on glass??.
+alex machak Most of the time I work on paper, for this particular technique you have to have it on a hard, flat, smooth surface.
Trop classe
My pieces never come out right😕
Try letting the clay set for awhile. It doesn’t work well when the clay is too soft
I'm eleven years old by the way!!!!
+Heather Wells can I do it on 2 tiles?
I think that the top piece needs to be transparent so you can see what's happening underneath.
I've seen others using an old transparent CD box.
Thank you so much
You can, but it is much Harder to monitor pressure without the visual
How do you make a hole in the bead?
cavies12345 you stick something in it like a metal “ skewer” and then bake with it there. It is easy to take them off after.
Thank you so much!
Fang yin. Said exactly what I did. I used very thin double pointed knitting needles
Я имею виду маникура
Can u eat the peppermint
UNICORNCUPCAKE2000 Zeron it’s clay....
It is a plastic clay. Thank you for the kind compliment
Très astucieux mais quel dommage de faire une vidéo avec des ongles semblables!
Thank you
The beads are great BUT yu shld take off those nails ! before doing a video..!!!
Demonstrator's fingernails are VERY distracting!
Nancy Whitten they also look artificial!
Sorry
yes the beads are awesome...but I agree that the nails need to go...too many of you ladies seem to think you need to decorate your nail...clean looking are so much more attractive....just saying....
Thank you.
Y TAMBIÉN COMO LES DAS BRILLO
Thank you
Do you think you could send me one of those before school starts??????????
no. nails make me feel sick.
Thanks for commenting
Your swirl beads are gorgeous and the tutorial was very helpful, but I must say . . . your fingernails are quite distracting.
тошнит от такого макияжа
very good video but the nails and the child chattering is distracting .
No need to be rude
Thank you 😊
making earrings oooo
I hope they turned out great
What annoyed me here is the kid talking. Why didn't her mother keep her quiet or take her to another room? Otherwise the video was good. Thanks.
i think its cute! the childs voice is soothing sound, like angels
Thank you
your hands seems so dry!!!
Julie Nantais They are :( Even when I use lotion a lot. I had little old lady hands even as a child. :)
sorry your nails are putting me off. to bad as i wanted to watch this one.
Sorry you hated my nails so much. They were in my earliest videos. I haven't filmed in a really long time. HOpefully you are able to get some use out of some of them
You need to have a quiet environment and no child chattering, it was very annoying! Also either clean under your long nails or shorten them.
Sorry. Thank you for sharing your suggestion
I love doing this, I do mine a little different but same affect.
I love the technique. If you make a video showing your technique let me know :)
I would like to watch :)
Heather
Im actually working on a video now lol once I get it done ill post it
What gloss did you use on the peppermints?
