Brilliant what a money and time saver ... tried this for making stems with flowers .. put wire into hole before shaping and baking, out came great stems ready for the flowers and leaves to be added, no more fiddling and hit an miss and a lot less wasted clay too, will try beads next.

Thanks Kathryn. Always looking for new ways to making beads with a hole inside. Love those new diamond rings! Well deserved.

Thanks Gaby x

[@carolleggett2072]

Fabulous idea thank you so much for sharing. I have struggled trying to to make even sized beads. 🙃

[@KathrynHalstead]

such an easy way to do them Carol and you can further shape the ends etc once on your bead needle or skewer x

[@carolleggett2072]

Thank you. I have gained so much confidence and learned so much from you. 🙃

[@lisajackson1650]

Thank you, very helpful. What does the washer do?

[@KathrynHalstead]

The shaped disc would cover the holed disc? Nothing would come out then 😂🤣😂.

[@passerineblue]

Wow!!! Potential is endless. Too bad they don't make the super bendable brands of PC anymore, or you could make your own cord.

[@smccarter64]

What a fantastic idea! Now after ya make the tubes you can put thinly sliced canes on the tubes and then bake them again. I love making my own beads! I love the way you made them. What fun! ❤️
Oh, how was Turkey?

[@KathrynHalstead]

Tyrkey was fabulous thank you xx and yes possibilities are endless x
