Faux Blown Glass Polymer Clay Bead Tutorial (Armature)

$15.00

Skill Level: Advanced

My technique for making faux blown glass polymer clay beads does not build upon any skills that a beginner does not have, and my instructions are thorough enough for someone new to polymer clay to follow them. However, this technique does require specialized tools and supplies that you may need to purchase. You will need good hand-eye coordination. This project is for adults only.

Description

This project requires the following special tools/supplies: variable temperature heat gun, k-type thermocouple probe (to test how hot your heat gun gets), liquid Kato PolyClay, and a stovetop.
