Great tut as usual Sandy.. I’m gonna order some wire. And thanks for giving approximate thickness of the clay for those of us without a decent pasta machine..
That's a great question, Myszka! To bake anything round, like beads and tubes, accordion fold a piece of cardstock and place your pieces in the folds. This will not only keep things from rolling about, it will preserve their shape. You can also bake on a bit of fiberfill batting.
Thanks for sharing this great idea, BUT, you never gave the oven temperature or how long should these bails be baked & can i put in quite a few at one time with the same baking results?
The temperature depends on the brand of clay. Check the directions on your clay package. You can bake as many pieces as you can fit in your oven at a time. 😀 "Baking," although a commonly used term with polymer clay, is kind of a misnomer. It's not like baking a pan of brownies. Instead it's a curing process. To learn more about baking, and polymer clay in general, check out this site: thebluebottletree.com/?s=baking Ginger gives loads of helpful information you can count on.
