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. 00:00 Intro 00:50 Extruder 01:44 Cut colour circles 02:08 Make colour stacks 04:54 Extruding 07:10 Bead core 07:44 Wrap core 13:31 Finished beads 14:34 Outro Video tip for cutting baked beads using hot water here: The footage was originally from a livestream.
