A time laspse video showing the process of making a Millefiori Cane from polymer clay, how to make beads with a Millefiori cane, and how to make the beads into a finished necklace.

[@leighjobe5656]

now maybe people realize why things cost what they do.....the time...the talent...the patience.

[@dixiegal9460]

12 years old and this is the BEST tutorial I seen!!! I can’t wait to make my own!

[@paigemobley5397]

Awesome! Thank you so much for making it so easy to watch. I wish more tutorials were like this one. I don't have the patience to sit through some tutorials because they waste so much time on unnecessary information or long drawn out video of simple tasks. Thank you so much for sharing what you know!

[@carrieevert1518]

You're not alone. I don't like the yap-yap-yapping either, lol.

[@shariwanderer5761]

This was a wonderful teaching video. You make it seem possible. You slowed down in all the right places and speeded up when you could. Thank you.

[@shelleylawrence3340]

Finally I understand how to create the flower. You are so generous to give us this tutorial! And it is so easy to follow! Bravo!

[@rel164]

This video is so much more useful than a lot that I have run into. No time wasted, very informational. Thank you.

[@angelhalo2]

I loved seeing the whole process & had often wondered how the flowers were made. As you went through the process I said DUH! OF course! how simple when you think about it but we see the end product & get bamboozled! You made it so clear. Thanks so much for sharing in a great way!!

[@ChrysalisBound]

Just wanted to say thanks for showing us the process, from beginning to end. It seems very involved, but worth the effort for the end result. If people only realized all the work that goes into your pieces.

[@burly636]

Clay is versatile. Nice. I used to do this with layers of clay and gold leaf, slice it thin and apply pieces to wood turning pen blanks. Bake, sand and polish. Great effect. My husband was a woodturner. I am a mixed media artist, mostly fiber. Been a long time since I worked with clay.

[@dottiegantt5894]

Well done. Excellent step-by-step. Just the right pace. I liked the fact that you spent the time showing instead of talking. Thanks for taking the time to make the video or us!

[@T00tsieR0llz]

As someone new to the idea of polymer clay, this has been one of the BEST tutorials I have seen so far which helped me to understand how to manipulate the clay into something wonderful. Also loved your little baking tray at the end. Will be stealing that idea for bead making, for sure ;) Thank you.

[@altheawhybrow1365]

Love your tutorial - you make it compulsive viewing and polymer claying even more addictive! Well done and thank you!

[@keikoichinose5686]

I've never had such a super cool tutorial for making beads!!!! Thank you!

[@723mash]

Are you kidding me!!!!! You are truely UNBELIEAVABLE!!! What amazing talent you have!! Is there anything that you can't create?? lol!!! I wish I could just come and craft with you!! Wow!! Absolutely beautiful!! I was drooling!! TFS

[@angelicinspirations]

Love the way you do your tutorials. This is a super one too. Many thanks for sharing xxx

[@artfulevidence]

The video was only put into timelapse up to fit the maximum time allowed by YT. It is always a difficult task to decide between speed and cutting sections out, and is a very time consuming process. This video took 3 days to record, edit, render & upload. Because of the time involved, I rarely split my videos, but I usually answer any questions that have not already been addressed in the comments so far :-)

[@RachNicDav]

I admire the amount of time and effort you put into this. It's worth at least $500

[@SecretStashTV]

apparently, 9 beads watched this video and disliked it. Obviously they feel mistreated. I, however, give it a thumbs up and am very thankful. Definitely learned a couple new techniques from this, thank you so much!

[@binagordon8980]

great to see a whole project made in just over 13 mins. great stuff

[@mitzigraves9194]

Beautiful! 😌 I have a lot of patience but I don’t think I have enough for this! Thank you so much for sharing your talent! Happy crafting! 😌

[@CardStash23]

LOVE IT!!! You have so much talent and patience, none I have!!! I LOVE looking at you work!!! Thank you so much for sharing. LOVE YOUR RESULTS!!!

[@lauramagin2572]

GREAT video! I LOVE that you showed what you made with the cane. Lots of really good videos don't show in such detail what they make from whatever technique they are using. Love the colors you chose too!

[@sarahlynn071490]

That is beautiful!!! I've never tried this but I'm about to run to my desk and start!! WOW~~~ This page has been saved in my favorites! Thank you thank you!

[@islandfree909]

What a process ,how beautiful your work is and patience you have.

[@purpss73]

Just wanted to add my thanks for making this tutorial and say the necklace is beautiful.

[@99Alexj99]

WoW I wanted to say that I ADORE ALL of your projects - I can't wait for the next one. You are a woman of incredible talent! Also patience to make all those beads! Also the music you use is so cute! Thank you for sharing!

[@kimreed5150]

Oh, you clever girl! I view a LOT of KZbin videos since I started mixed media a couple of months ago and I constantly find myself re-watching your vids because i think you are one of the most talented artists on here. Thank you so much for sharing in detail what you do!

[@papercrafter52]

Rach, I so enjoy each of your projects. Your creativity seems boundless! Your clay work simply amazes me. And now Millefiori... really? My goodness girl, your patience to create using this technique is enviable! Can't thank you enough for sharing your efforts! It's quite inspring.

[@QuiltingCrow]

[@jimshorts8960]

Millefiori = a thousand flowers! Very nice.

[@papoosue]

[@shanineincley7955]

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Beautiful!! You've inspired me to get my polymer clay out and give it a whirl! This is the best tutorial on how to make a cane that I have seen!! Thanks so much!

[@marlene1557]

Every single second of your tutorial is amazing and full of information ♥️ Thank you for sharing this with us all ❤️

[@eileenfb1948]

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you for showing us so much. You are obviously very skilled and practiced and such gorgeous products made. Very encouraging to us just starting out.

[@tarotwisdom]

oh my Rachel this is so beautiful..what a fantastic project and creation..you are a true inspiration..thank you so much for all your vids warm hugs janet

[@krisr169]

Truly wonderful :) I've just started my journey into clay and am greatly inspired by your work. I had no idea that it was possible to make a cane like that. Well done and thanks!

[@ChemChic55]

That was a wonderful video!!! so clear, all steps easy to see, the music was nicely whimsical... like the beads. Thank you! Thank you! for making this and posting it.

[@kaylastormprincess3676]

Adorable! Cannot wait to try this! I thought your video was easy to follow. I know mine won't turn out just like yours, of course! Gave me some good ideas to work with! Thx!

[@lwood8]

Oh Rach, every time I see one of your videos I have to go to the art store and buy something else. You really help me stretch my creativity. Thanks so much for what you do, it really makes a difference to us!

[@artfulevidence]

@MissCraftyChris The brand I used was Fimo Soft. I used various amounts for each colour - the gold for example was probably only a 1/4 block, but more of the other colours. I mixed the burgundy colour myself and cannot remember exact amounts as I made this cane many months ago. Sorry I cannot be more precise, but if you google you should find some tutorials that will give you exact quanities of clay for a variety of canes.

[@PennyK54]

Love the final results of all the work you put into this. You are very talented. TFS

[@Cyrilmc222004]

It was very good indeed!!!!! Lovely idea, so clever. Thank for showing me. I'd love to have a go sometime soon.

[@carrieb45]

Omg you are so talented! I love the techniques -I got a bunch of new tricks, thank you so much for sharing!

[@gaelhillyardcreative]

I love how your video is time lapsed to be fast-forward! Now I see it takes a lot of time and talent to make these beads! makes me want to just get up and go make some of my own!

[@mytejo55]

Thank you, that was a great tutorial! Beautiful beads!

[@artfulevidence]

Hi Connie, This video was made a long time ago, and I can't really remember what exact type of chain I used - possibly 6 x 4mm Silver plated curb chain if I had to guess. Hope that helps :-)
