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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@TurtleSoupBeads There actually is rhyme and reason to the plastics that your polymer clay will eat through! I know you probably know this by now, but this is great for new polymer clay crafters! Do a search on RUclips for "What plastics are ok to use with polymer clay" and you will see a tutorial done by PolymerClayTutor on "How To Test Which Plastics Are Safe With Polymer Clay". Excellent video for polymer clay crafters!!
@@TurtleSoupBeads Yes but in knowing what plastics will not be good to have in contact with the polymer clay, you can just choose a bottle that has one of those 'safe' numbers in which to make your bead roller (which I love!) and that way if you have to walk away for a while, you know it's not going to melt by the time you get back to it! Most plastics have that coding system and it's a good guide! I recently found a piece a polymer clay that had eaten through the plastic leg on the bottom of a floor fan!
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!
If the pointed edges of the plastic poke you just round them off with a nail file/emery board. Brilliant ideas!!!! I haven’t ever worked with clay, I’m a seamstress, knitter/crocheted and Belly Dance Costumer so all my beadwork has been with glass 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.
What I do when I get a glitter with different sizes in it is that I get different sized shifting strainers (dollar store) and shift then until I get the different size separated. Also I made from plastic storage containers different fines sifter by poking holes on each lid with different size needles. You only need one containers and the rest of them are just lids. I also made the same for sorting my pearls (they tend to get mixed together when I'm beading. )
You have so many wonderful comments below and I loved reading them. There were so many that I finally had to stop. I love the “use what I have additude” because craft supplies can get quite expensive, so get creative for free, there is no telling what you might create next. 👍🏼
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
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 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💞.
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!
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!
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
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
To incorporate glitter a little easier through the clay, I suggest rolling your clay through the pasta machine until it is thinner and longer, and then jelly-roll your glitter inside the clay before working it with the rolling pin. Having more and thinner layers of clay to get through will just speed up the glitter getting absorbed.
@@shannongrills7455 The OP literally hearted my comment, and said it was a good idea. The reason for not using the pasta machine was that it wouldn't work if used the same way she was doing it with a roller, by folding a large heap of glitter in at once. The technique I suggested was to first roll the clay out thin, then scatter the glitter more thinly across a larger area, then spiral-roll it up inside so that there was no large/slippery wad of glitter left to cause "unicorn farts" as she called them.
You could use an xacto knife with a handle protecting your fingers. Your work is awesome, you make me want to learn how to do this. They are so pretty and it’s hard to believe you made them with clay. I need to look at more things you’ve done, I should go to sleep too but oh well who needs sleep.
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 .
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. :)
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..
Awestruck! Hadn't gotten to the point of buying a roller, probably thinking I'd just use my fingers, ala kindergarten procedure--not only have you surmounted the expense of a retail roller (recycling, repurposing & free-yay!), you shared your personal method of creating remarkably beautiful beads. What an awesome video! Kudos to 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!
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
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!!!!
Oh my gosh! First time I’m viewing your concise videos and love those beads! Absolutely stunning beautiful colors! You are ingenious with your hacks! Love love love your channel! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! You have many talents besides being a very talented artist... video making is another. ❤️❤️❤️Jocelyn
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
Hello Susan love love your art work ! I tried & failed more than once to make the bead roller in this video. Out of desperation I tried the clear protector top of my new deoderant (located under deoderant top, usually thrown away), & it worked perfect, even comes with a handle built on! These clear protector top come in large and small according to deoderant size also, & make different size beads! Keep the amazing videos coming, Please!
@@artsygigi the throw away clear protector on my deoderant works great and has built on handles. Not the actual deodorant top the throw away part under it. Mine was clear & they come n 2 sizes as do deodorants. Hope it works for u .
Karen C. What type of deodorant is it as they all come with different tops, also I'm in Uk so it might be I can't get it here, but I'd like to try and find it to give it a go. All the best for 2019. xxxAnnxxx
Love your tutorials!. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your creativity, experience and knowledge so freely. All your work is truly beautiful and rich with texture and sparkle!❤❤❤
I'm trying to mass produce beads and I make 7.25 HR. I can not afford half the tools I need to do so. This I can get from dollar tree. Thank you so much you are a blessing.
I started with polymer before there was tools so basically you had to make your own tools and textures , oddly it made me look at everything differently. I have made a really nice income selling beads for over 25 years its all about enjoying the process. Good luck
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
Your work is amazing. Thank for showing in detail how you mix the clay, an incredible way to make a bead roller, and how to overlay with cane beads. I feel like I have been in a real bead class with you. The detail is amazing. Thank you for teaching us so much and for sharing your talent and experience. Love your animals too! 😊
I love the beads and all of the tips you share in the ways they can be made. At first glance, I thought the brown ones you covered with the cane were wire wrapped because of the gold leaf you add. I love making my own tools so I am going to have fun figuring out how to make my own roller. Thanks for sharing a recipe to get the idea of how you get that depth of wonderfulness you get in using glitter and the types of clay together.
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.
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
Just goes to show what you can do,,as some bead making devices are so expensive,,, this is a great way of making your own bead roller, love your channel, thanks again.👍🌹🌺🌹🌺
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 ! 😂
Me too! I drive my hubby crazy stopping the car to move them out of the road , even the snappers . I can bear the thought of them getting run over . I used to make lots of turtle beads that's how I got that name eventually I will have a tutorial on turtle beads .
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.
amazing video , I love people who makes cool stuff out of garbage haha ....Looks like fun !!...thank you

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 ! 😂
You are so precious and I love that your channels name is turtle soup. I love turtles.
Me too! I drive my hubby crazy stopping the car to move them out of the road , even the snappers . I can bear the thought of them getting run over . I used to make lots of turtle beads that's how I got that name eventually I will have a tutorial on turtle beads .
Gorgeous beads!
