Millefiori Beads from Polymer Clay

Step 6 Final Thoughts

So there it is, a pretty little flower for you to play around with.  There are many other techniques and patterns I could demonstrate, and if there is enough interest, I'd be happy to post more instructables along these lines!

Also, I'm always interested in seeing the results people get from following my instructable.  If you decide to make something like this, please post a picture in the comments section!  If you do, I'll send you a patch!

Please take the time to leave a comment and rate this 'ible!  I'd really like to know if I've left anything out, or if something needs clarifying, what you think of the flower, etc.  Also, let me know what you think of the video.  There are many things I will change next time I do one, but I'd like to know what you think.  This is the first time I've really played around with video editing.  Thanks for taking the time to read!

For examples of the many other patterns I've done over the years, take a look at the picture below.  I almost always save a slice from each tube I make.

I was always fascinated by this technique, and wondered how it was done; guess i'll be buying my polyclay beads ready-made..this is great, but a lot of steps..thanks for showing me just what polyclay beadmakers go through! I have a bit more appreciation now...

Thanks for the kind comments lidzy. There are a lot of steps, but it's really not that hard, you ought to give it a try!
