This is a quick and easy cane that is perfect for beginners and experienced clayers alike. I show you how to make it either using a pasta machine, or without one. So, sit back, relax, and watch as the process unfolds, then have some fun and make your own.

The music from the video is English Country Garden by Aaron Kenny and is available from the YouTube Free Audio Library.

I used FIMO Soft Polymer Clay, but all well-known brands of polymer clay will work well for this project.

Polymer Clay is oven baked, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the brand of clay you are using.

Other equipment you need is:
A polymer Clay Blade
Craft Knife
Small roller
4mm Cable Needle – or something similar
A Tile or similar to work on, and Biodegradable wet wipes, or wet cloths to clean your hands as you work
Optional - Pasta machine dedicated to polymer clay use (if you have one).

If you do not have a pasta machine, you can roll the clay between two even stacks of playing cards to get an even thickness in your sheet of clay. Settings 8 and 9 on my machine are 1 playing card thickness, setting 7 and 6 are 2 cards thick, setting 5 is 3 cards, setting 4, 4 cards, setting 3 is 5 cards, setting 2 is 6 cards, setting 1 is 7 cards and setting 0 is 8 cards thickness.

Here are a few suggestions of other videos I have done, where you can use this petal cane to make:
Fairy Cups –    • I made Fairy Teacups from Polymer Clay  
Flower Earrings -    • Quick and Simple Flower Earrings in P...  
Petal Bowls –    • Sweet Little Flower Bowls from Polyme...  
Raised Flower Pendant –    • Raised Flower Pendant in Polymer Clay...  

But have a look through my other videos too, as this cane can be used for many other options too.

Thank you so much for watching.
