How To Make A Polymer Clay Spiral Retro Cane

[@centavo-art]

i miss your poly clay videos so much, i watch them all again........

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Love this new cane!! Can’t wait to play!👍💕🥰🐶🐶🇬🇧

[@galady8632]

Such a fun and light-hearted tutorial - especially for someone that has the flu! The concept is lovely. I honestly cannot select a favorite, all are so versatile and interesting. I think the stripes add a new dimension but all were grand. FYI - in addition to the flu shot years ago I decided I would take all preventive steps possible to avoid the flu. I do not know if it is possible 'over the pond' but I always obtain my flu shot as soon as they are available. This year it was late August. In my area few people have the flu or even colds that early so the meds have time to actually start functioning before most people become ill. Just wanted to share that with Mrs Evans, and possibly any of her fans.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

I got mine early... I think I just have a virus really. I had actual flu years ago and I literally wanted to die!

[@dianadevlin3717]

I really like your 'just for me' pen 😁😍

[@lindalopresti389]

Love your design sense!

[@scweeeker1]

I always enjoy ur videos and how to …. TY

[@shannonsullivan2109]

I love that red cane!! Wow! Thank you for sharing your work!

[@joyceparkes2678]

Wonderful 💜 love the red white and black especially

[@starcatcatherinehale1893]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity, even when you're feeling down, that's definite dedication to your subscribers, love this cane, it gives me all kinds of ideas, thanks again, sending you lots of healthy vibes and blessings 💕💟 💌

[@poizonousmoon]

I love that striped extruded cane! Very cool!

[@YogiUToo]

Get well soon, Valerie! I LOVE the idea of putting the black and white stripe in with the mix! Good on ya!

[@lizrichardson3309]

Thanks for posting this video, especially as you are feeling so poorly. I love this spiral cane and will have a go when my craft room is back to normal......! Get well soon. x

[@yelloworangered]

I appreciate seeing the difficulties and the advice about the difficulties (get butch with the rolling). The fast vids that insist it's all easy make me feel like a fool for even messing with polymer clay. Much better to see how things actually go for someone who is skilled and experienced. Thank you. P.S. I enjoy the extruder squeak myself.

[@huntla1]

Great job Valerie! Love what you started with the stripes. I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere before!

[@gyllenhaalic66]

Feel better soon, Valerie ! Thanks for taking the time to post yet another great tutorial ! xx

[@ManieMartinez]

Get Better Soon. I love your videos and your sense of humor. Big huggies.

[@mrsbeckydaisy]

Thank you for the video. You did fine don’t worry about the little things, I love all the little “mistakes”. The canes are more organic and charming, all mistakes are not bad often they are blessings. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@janedoe6181]

I love the retro cane, but I’m never seen it in a spiral cane. Great idea! I love those blues together!

[@tjaysilver]

Love retro canes and the stripped idea looks great fun!

[@Sujalea]

Thanks, that's a great idea. Hope you feel better soon!

[@shyamalaganesh2792]

Great video. Hope you feel better.

[@martazenere4616]

Grazie ! Ho scoperto un nuovo mondo guardando il suo video ! Wow!!!!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

grazie per aver guardato il mio video, spero che ti divertirai molto.

[@anitadavidson1249]

Get well very soon oh Unruly One, and thank you so much for soldiering on through feeling rotten! I really enjoyed the look of the retro spiral cane, it has so many uses. But, you know what? The best of all was your stripy retro cane - love it, and can see ways of having beautiful effects and great fun! With love and a hug (wearing a Hasmet suit of course) from your (official) Internet Stalker xx

[@marionmathews9852]

I’m so sorry that you’re ill. Hope you get better soon. I think this is one of the nicest canes I’ve seen. My son just bought me a clay extruder for my birthday, and I’ve been after ideas of what to use it for......this looks super cool and I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.

[@polablues]

I love this cane. It's really pretty. I like the black and white striped one, too. What a fun idea! Get well soon, and you sounded fine in this video.

[@katzologin8687]

Those extruded things always remember me on Gustav Klimt. I love his paintings so I love your cane. Your idea to "mixtrude" is also very funny and it looks really good. I hope you are in bed and somebody is reading out our best wishes to you and makes chicken soup for your soul. Get healthy very soon!

[@fondasharkey-wyatt9944]

I love the way that turned out! Thank you.

[@addjewelry]

Love the stripes at the end.

[@chilkakanika1456]

Thank you for the tutorial. It's great!

[@aoifesmyth3881]

Oooooh gonna try out your stripe idea tomorrow! Thanks so much for sharing! X

[@bonniefaltz9505]

Love it! Not an orange fan, but those colors are beautiful together. Your extruder sounds like a tea kettle that's boiling. Cute! Thanks for showing this cool cane.

[@TheKnightReaderTarot]

Thank you for showing me how to use my extrude ring. It has been in the box for 3 months because I haven’t an idea how to use it.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

I have a video on here somewhere that shows you about 12 ways to use it 😁

[@aoifesmyth3881]

I love the blue spiral cane! Great colour combinations Val! Feel better soon! X

[@bonniefaltz9505]

Oh! Commented too soon, love the striped cane. And hope you feel better soon!

[@debbeechy]

Get well soon. I always love your videos and glad you don't cut out a lot of stuff cause then I don't feel so bad when I do something like that. lol

[@traceymarshall7613]

I absolutely love it 💎 I totally sympathise with the tiredness as I have m.e/f.m and really struggle to concentrate and completing a project can take me a long time.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

I love love these. Thank you

[@kateives1274]

I'm learning so much from you!! Love those stripes at the end. Hope you're feeling better & TFS :-)

[@sandrasbeadinghearttreasures]

Wow! Love this technique! Can't wait to give it a try! Thank you for showing us.

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

Always a great video, whether you're ill or not. Also love the bonus!

[@judittoth4527]

Get better soon and thanks for this lovely video:-) I love your red cane, it looks interesting and cool :-):-)

[@LeslieNikulka]

[@leonanelson2444]

Very cool cane, thank you

[@madelinewhick7467]

Great video. Thanks . 😷feel better.😧😌

[@ingeniouspixie]

I love the look of this! Where did you get the acrylic block? Thank you for sharing even though you were feeling miserable. 🥰

[@UnrulyHousewife]

I got it from Amazon. It's a thing paper crafting type people use to fix rubber stamps on temporarily. xx

[@jcofortco]

Wonderful, ty for ALL - successes AND challenges! :)

[@TheMoziere]

Beautiful, I'm hatching ideas for that stripey cane. Can't wait for my extruder to get here. Hope you get to feeling better quickly. As for that cane that proved to be so UNRULY.... well, really, need I say more? :D :D

[@Telenaus]

hugs feel better asap!!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

That was great! Thank you!

[@lindaketner2509]

Thank you. I needed that tutorial.👍

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Your so helpful when I have creative block 😦 .

[@yelloworangered]

Hi. The spiral canes that I make are not smooth spirals. They are full of sharp bends and look tortured. I think it may be something that I'm doing in the rolling down in size of the cane. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or how to fix things. What do you think? A vid on Not Distorting Your Spiral Canes?

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Hmmmm.... Try to chill your canes before reducing them, or at least let them rest for a log while. x

[@yelloworangered]

I see other people hand rolling their spiral canes, but a vid by polymer clay tutor shows her sort of squishing the cane to make it longer. I tried your suggestion to let it all cool to the same temp and did her light squishing technique and it all turned out much better. :) Thanking you and congrats to you and your new husband. As Miss Bates said in Emma, "Isn't it wonderful when good people get together?" :)

[@wody738]

Well, this ol' lady is sooo tired from working all day trying to keep up with the youngsters at the big clinic. I'm worn out but you've inspired me to "get cracking", as you say over there. That's just the blue I wear everyday in my uniform so that's the color for me. I'm sorry about your flu. You always know flu 'cause you feel like a rather large truck hit you head on. ha! I was wondering if you could tell me what you clean your roller and that little plexiglass plate with? Mine is always getting so smudged and smeared with each color of clay. I'm very new at this so i think I may be just playing with the clay too long or something. I have the huggies wipes, but they don't work very well on cleaning the tools. They are great for cleaning up my hands. Thanks for your videos, your comments, advice and the great and easy canes. You rock!

[@Telenaus]

i use window wipes,or glass cleaner wipes, & let them dry before using again,

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Thank you! I use wipes and dry with kitchen paper but the best thing is often white or translucent white scrap clay. Roll it around to pick up all the fluff and clay colours! xx

[@lindeclark65]

Hi excellent tutorial. What type of extruder are you using. I want that green!

[@UnrulyHousewife]

It's a Makins... They are pretty but they do squeak LOL. xx

[@lindeclark65]

Lol thats okay. Thank you for responding! XO I hope you are feeling better. I dont know how old the tutorial is.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Nearly 6 months old, so WHEW, thank goodness I'm better! xx

[@creativeu9852]

Very cool!

[@maneeshalazar]

That’s really cool 🌹

[@mjrewerts]

I kept thinking about peas and carrots during the video 😋

[@elizabethphillips7838]

Dear Unruly Housewife: Where did you get the Acrylic Block as it looks like it makes a much more even roll then doing it by hand? Sorry your feeling doing well I hope that you feel better as I suffer from allergies my voice is often like I'm all stuffy.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

It is a block used for mounting clear (printing) stamps. I bought mine on Amazon. xx

[@Rubilynn22]

Any chance of a tutorial on canes without an extruder?

[@UnrulyHousewife]

There are some on my channel already! :)

[@Rubilynn22]

Oh Coolio will check them out now, I'm learning a lot from your vids 🤗

[@desireemarana4997]

Yes I did!!!😍

[@Designsbyizzi]

Lol, my dog's were barking at the noise of your extruder 😂😂😂

[@UnrulyHousewife]

Hahaha! My cats think I've caught them a mouse! xx

[@dallydally6684]

[@UnrulyHousewife]

شكرا جزيلا

[@fondasharkey-wyatt9944]

And be careful. We've had a deadly flu in the states.

[@UnrulyHousewife]

I managed to fight it off. xx

[@fondasharkey-wyatt9944]

Unruly Housewife glad to hear!
