Basic Flower Cane for Beginners - Polymer Clay

[@craftycrafter1960]

i appreciate these beginner videos, i havent tried anything polymer clay yet, have no tools or clay, just watching videos and getting an idea what this craft is about.

[@gdworac4219]

I jus want to say of all the tutorials I've watched yours have engaged me most. I also watched your September update and want you to know that many of us will have appreciated your honest and true emotional sharing. I certainly did. The mark of a real man is his willingness to show vulnerability. ❤️

[@TheBroodingTom]

Those who *DISLIKES* all my videos... your viewership and video engagement means just as much to me and is much appreciated..

[@HavanaWoody]

sorry people suck, I'm glad to hear another male voice doing these tutorials, The Karen tone was driving me nuts as I learn the basics.

[@itsme-qo9gf]

You are a great teacher. Thank you for explaining steps so thoroughly. My question is what do you do with the flower cane?

[@itsme-qo9gf]

I just read your description and you answered my question already. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@terriboyer5906]

Thank you so much for this video! I just started working with polymer clay about 2 months ago after seeing some beautiful sets of polymer clay covered crochet hooks! My first thought was, "Hey, I can do that"! Well as it turned out, NO, I could not! I just could not do a flower cane to save my soul! I am very proud to report your video helped me to finally accomplish it! I am forever in your debt! As far as I am concerned you totally ROCK!

[@kurieepoirier4486]

Thank u for the tutorial, I'm new to polymer clay and have a lot of issues with my canes not finishing well, but NOW I know to let the cane sit before rolling,

[@louisekraft1014]

Good video. You go slow and explain what you are doing, along with giving tips. Thank you very much.

[@Candayawallace]

This is seriously the best, most complete tutorial I've found.

[@millieo.5325]

I've just started & baked my first ever: covered four crochet hooks (handles). I like how you took the time to explain things; great job! Thank you...😊

[@libertyordeath3874]

I feel it necessary to warn people that all tools and appliances must be dedicated to clay and never used for food afterward. I remember that part ;) Thank you for your efforts.

[@anitadavidson1249]

I enjoyed this, thank you. I had already subscribed to your channel, but being very much a novice, and having never made a cane, you have given me a wonderful boost in confidence. I look forward to seeing many more that don't leave me baffled or concerned I am not good enough.

[@melamiller1412]

Thank you for sharing! That idea of the cradle under the cane to help stop the cane from getting smashed when sliced was something I didn't know about or thought of, very cool thanks

[@denisestone9492]

Thanks for a video that shows me how to start. I've always been a bit scared of canes, but now I might not be so hesitant. Thanks Tom.

[@annetteweadock4949]

Thank you so much for the beginner cane tutorial........I am new and although I love the idea of canes I have felt intimidated...........I can now try this and hopefully grow in my abilities! Hoping I don't miss any of your future tutorials..........

[@Sujalea]

I'm looking forward to this series.

[@thelmawiggins5281]

My heart is jumping for pure joy. I can't wait to try this. Wish me luck.

[@King-bg5us]

I'm just beginning using polymers clay and needed instructions on makinga realy simple, first flower cane.Clear and well presented with some nice tips, thank you.

[@julissimo1]

Very nice! I have never made a cane before but I think I will try this. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thanks very much and Happy New Year!

[@Anamile46]

I am just getting started with Polymer clay and I am enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@InnerTora]

Thank you so much for this video! Even though it is a simple cane it incorporates techniques that are very useful. I am very grateful to you for starting this new section. There are many videos about making the canes but only few of them are so detailed. Thank you again and good luck!

[@yavie333]

I just started working with polymer clay about a month ago, and swore I'd never bother with canes (no patience) but tonight I made my first cane, and tomorrow I'm going to try your flower! Excellent tutorial, and I'm so excited to try it!

[@Lynnyb44]

I love the tip of cradling the clay before you cut it. Great idea!!!!!

[@sherrelleinsig2436]

I love that you are sharing your experience and knowledge. We can all become better learning from each other. I want to thank you very much for taking the time to help me.

[@Theperilsofbev]

The cradle you used to cut small pieces was a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing,

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

You are such a great teacher ! I have watched so many tutorials on reducing canes but they always came out warped and distorted or I couldn't clearly understand the tutorial. This is so easy to understand and awesome !! I think I'll give canes another try after this. Another tip if your clay is a bit too sticky ... dust baby powder on your hands and your hands won't stick to it.

[@lorijaneiro8999]

I love this video its clearstraight to the point. You don't ever go on n on n on n on n on about how ur day was which really I'm here to learn the art not ur day so very appriciate you for this. Keep ur videos like this n I will watch every single one. Great stuff people dint dis this dude ever..

[@TheBroodingTom]

New playlist announcement! Very excited!! :D

[@tiphanygriffin7136]

I think that the beginning guide to polimer clay is a fabulous idea. I am just starting out and have watched a lot of tutorials but I find yours easy to follow. I hope that you can do more videos on stacks and blends with explanations on thickness and basic tools.

[@demogirlsworld]

This is an excellent tutorial. You are great at explaining yourself. I don't think I feel so daunted about it now lol.

[@Gatikabela]

Thank you for showing me how to make beautiful little flowers for my crochet hooks. Your videos are awesome, to the point, and you make it very easy to do. Keep those video coming...I definitely appreciate it.

[@debbiegaines1362]

I liked how you made a trough to cut slices of the smaller cane; I've never seen that before. Thanks

[@lucyl.4356]

Really great video for me to learn with...as a beginner some videos are too quick. Thanks, and look forward to more cane videos.

[@emmanichols1236]

i have for the past 2 night watching your tutorials and I just want say a big thank you as you have inspired me alot!!! as I have had a little melt down on what i can make so thank you :)

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

Wow,I have been studying polymer clay for 3 years on and off,the Cheadle is the 1st I have seen,love it tfs

[@Morna777]

Using that ruler with the grid is brilliant. I'm sure it helps get everything the same size. TIP for anyone who doesn't already know: if your canes are getting too soft, put them in the fridge, or even freezer, before cutting or reducing them. That way you don't have to wait for them to cool. Just don't let the clay get so cold it shatters or flakes.

[@deborahreid9223]

Great video! Thank you for the tips and incite, you go slow, and explain everything very well !,

[@LittleAmyHe]

Thank you so much for making a detailed cane-making tutorial! A lot of videos I see are just speed-making or with very brief explanations. Very excited for this series/playlist! ^-^

[@flyphoenix22]

A new video series/playlist that's awesome! I'm excited to see what designs you come up with! :D

[@felicias43]

Love the new playlist, looking forward to more canes.

[@ginacollazzo]

I'm new to clay, this was so easy to follow, I love the end product, super cute

[@pamwilson2642]

Yes. That is right!!!! Cc for hearing implanted.. I love clays myself!! Smiler

[@jjdjt4]

Very nice video! I am a glass artist and am looking for a another option for flowers and leaves and stems n' such to put into my mosaics... this was helpful! I hope you do sort of an "end game" video about baking what you make, how to work with it once it is baked, painting / glazing ... thank you!

[@BarbGhig]

Thanks so much for this new playlist! I have tons of polymer clay, and no clue what to do with it, so this is perfect for me! Looking forward to your next video...thanks again!

[@ameena1005]

AWSOME video as always!!! Easy to understand and perfect for us begginers!!! :)

[@wellness4me2]

LOL! Where were you when I first started out 15 years ago! Love your work! Thanks so much for your efforts... BIG LIKE! :-)

[@SuperRocketdog1]

I just found your site! I have just started with clay FIMO and will definitely try this cane. Other sites show great stuff but it's more for people who are good at it! You are good as you explain and don't rush. Thank you. I'm off to check out your other tutorials!

[@micaelalee9315]

I liked your vid it was very good at explaining everything usally I think I am doing the cane wrong because they don't explain most of it so this really help

[@deeext8456]

your tutorials are really helpful, thank you x

[@debbiewatkins5593]

I am so happy with this video, I am a new born with polymer clay :) .. Look forward to learning more ty

[@OakwildeDesigns]

Thank you for doing this playlist I've wanted to make canes for different projects but felt they might be difficult. Your instructions are clear and I like your tip on making a base before cutting. Have a great week :)

[@Dani-tz6jz]

Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful.

[@dawneeduddy]

Thank you so much! I've been creating with polymer now for around 15 years but just recently decided to try some basic caning.... this was extremely helpful! :)

[@TheBroodingTom]

Thank YOU for taking the time to watch it, means a lot. Glad it helped a little too!

[@kamranschwindt6250]

Wery good and clear explain. Thank you .

[@LeslieNikulka]

Thanks for this. I'm a newbie and really looking forward to your new playlist that goes on forever.

[@lindeclark65]

Good job. easy to follow, and it looks great!

[@mdobbs2003]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am SO a beginner, and I appreciate your hard work and dedication!

[@rosebud5543]

Wow, thank you for sharing the basics, I have been so intimidated with working with polymer clay, so going to try it now. New Subscriber. 😉🥀

[@eileengavinlarsen4509]

Pretty cool video You show just how it goes! Practice, practice, practice! Thanks!!

[@TheBroodingTom]

Thank you, and thanks for your time it means a lot!

[@Godsown1000]

Great tutorial! I am a 3D resin artist, and sometimes my piece needs a sculpted component to give actual dimension that my paint doesn't do. Therefore I need to add that dimension using polymer clay. Thanks!

[@chicameowr]

Great tips! Especially about the consistency of all clay used, something that has been an issue with the few canes I attempted. Also I love the cradle idea you used for slicing the cane...genius! I would love to see you make a Natasha or miracle cane/bead type of project.

[@LynnGalvanHippie-Chick]

Thank you again very informative you explanation very clear it made me want to actually pull out three colors and begin to create. Its craftsmart from Michales, I thought I would start with my less expensive clay till I work my way through your videos. I chose Turquoise, Purple and white because thats what I have. I will allow my clay to rest and cool down as you suggested in your video as my hands change from hot to cold and back again. sounds strange but thats what happens when your having hot flashes. Thank you again. Lynn

[@cutelittlethingzlovespolym3633]

Wow FINALLY i see a guy do polymer clay! Congratz dude just subbscribed :)

[@sylysyly9759]

Thank you for the tutorial..it's nice to see a man doing this...i wish my husband did polymer claying with me

[@TheBroodingTom]

I could say the same thing about my wife.. I think it'd be awesome if she was into claying. She did however sit and do one craft where she covered a jar with clay and made flowers on it for her Grandma. Loved it.

[@camillefulton7709]

TAKE NO NOTICE OF THE KNOCKERS....ITS JEALOUSY!! GOOD JOB APPRECIATED THANKS

[@cretintendencies]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@pixiedust7418]

you always explain things quite thoroughly and in detail, i like that. Nice tip with that cane ''cutting base'' thing btw! the 3-headed dragon is my favourite piece from you, so awesome! keep it up :)

[@DoodlesIGuesss]

I was hoping to find a tutorial on making citrus fruits because I love how cute little orange slices are for charms and decor, and was kinda sad until I found this. You taught really simple techniques, but they are versatile. I am gonna try to make an orange or lemon cane using a method similar to how you wrapped each petal, but triangular of course. You did great on this, and I appreciate the explanations

[@cathywebb7327]

nice job .like the tip at the end.

[@mgm6601]

Just beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@krithikaramaswamy6731]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! Found it very useful.

[@Liz.4485]

Best video I have ever seen!

[@nancypeterson6377]

Thank you! I am a beginner and this was great as canes are so scarring to do right now. T his looks easy. Thanks again.

[@Zee88602]

Subscribed! Thanks for this great, detailed tutorial :)

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

Thanks for the video, I learned a couple new tips!

[@effeldog]

There’s no reason to dislike this video, if it’s not your cup of tea, just move on!

[@paperweightgirl]

This is so cool. Cause it's what they do to millifiori paperweights but use glass instead.

[@ikniet5032]

Thank you very much! This was a very good and useful video. It helped me out a lot :)

[@hkreations5108]

I have purchased the clay about 4 months ago, haven't opened 'em up yet. Working on other projects first, but soooo want to play with this now. Your video was very helpful, I have watched a few others and someone said to place the canes in the freezer for about 10 min. prior to cutting. Have you ever done it this way? Thanx for sharing and Stay Blessed!

[@alexandrareiner1162]

great tips for a beginner - thank you :-)

[@yoyonostring]

Great video!!! I have a question, What about if I want to keep the flower shape like at the minute 7:06 and not make it round? How can it be stretched with out losing the silhouette or shape? TY n God Bless You.

[@glyniswilliams981]

Wow you made it easy to do thank you very much.

[@tammygoodrich7550]

Can't wait to see more!

[@Smileonlife13]

You are great. I am brand new at this. his is a cool video. I am going to make some with you to learn how. Thanks for what you do.

[@donnaccincinnati]

keep teaching your a good teacher

[@LormaMargosiak]

New subscriber just came across your channel. I'm thinking about getting into clay . I used to make Lil animals with it but did know you could do all these pretty canes at make wonderful flowers and stuff . Question? What is the main 6 things I really need to get started making canes and also what do you use to bake them on? I see others using tiles but they do not say what kind or where they got them. Thanks for sharing your videos. This was my first one of yours excited to watch. Brightest blessings Hun!!!!!!

[@music-sc7eg]

At last, channel without irritating music drowning out speech. Looking forward to more of the same.

[@JISullivan]

Yay! I am excited for this new playlist :) and I am going to try this, but I think I will add a 6th petal. And good to know about the inconsistencies with the clay. Might be belpful to have put the yellow snake in the fridge in the beginning? Plus I think KZbin should get rid of the dislike option :( its not constructive - just hurtful!

[@snehamexon9551]

thank you so much this video is awesome I can't wait to see more of your videos

[@tereysaocak3062]

Beautiful art. I enjoyed it very much. What do you use it for?

[@artattacks3329]

Loved it! I was just wondering what you used to clean the yellow off of your surface.

[@jaxray2303]

loved it. thanks for showing.

[@trishstrange4415]

I am so glad I found your videos! After watching so many of them, I was about to give up on finding one that explains how to make the canes on a beginner's level. THANK YOU! I do have a question. Can you make one for a Pittsburgh Steelers logo, without the word Steelers.... just the logo?

[@heartsprinkle]

Great video Tom! Thanks for sharing :) I'll have to practice with that. I've made some...just simple ones though. Kind of like leopard print. Lol. Have a good day (:

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I think that's a GREAT idea for a play list! Thank you for showing how to do this. =) Can you show us how to make a butterfly cane, one day? (I assume it'll be similar to the flower... but... )... Also... two ideas, not for canes, but I wondered if it was "Doable"... can you make something like a marble with Polymer clay? and How about beads, maybe with a cane-like pattern on it ? Great first episode. =)

[@leannebell4982]

Hi darling! Youre my fav! Can you pleeeease do a polymer clay craft area tour!?

[@colleenrenno4884]

Thank you!!! I think I could even make a cane!!!
