Back for the video that I just made talking some more about my DIY Bead baking rack made from an old cake pan, floral wire and scrap polymer clay. A great idea that baked up a lot of polymer clay beads. I would love to know if anyone out in poly clay land, has done the same thing.
As well this video features a tip on how to poke holes into a clay bead when you can't stand up to look down the centre.
Along with how I added the Sugru - to my new favourite Amaco bead baking rack (thanks to Cindy Lietz's advice at the Polymer Clay Tutor - click here to see)
Watch Let's Talk About: My DIY Bead Baking Rack and More
If you haven't read this blog or watched any videos on HeArtfully Creating you won't know that Cindy Lietz of the Polymer Clay Tutor YouTube Channel has been a great help to helping me with my Polymer Clay Adventure or Journey, whichever word you prefer. Below is a list of just a few of her many helpful videos here. (Yup just click this.) And lower down are more videos about bead baking racks.
Here is my Amaco rack with SUGRU- Thanks Cindy Leitz!
Baking Polymer Clay beads was one of the first problems I had to solve when I began my polymer clay adventure. Yes, I saw what was out there. In fact, I just posted the Y/T videos by one of my favourite Poly Clay Artist/Tutors, Cindy Lietz, and now see videos below about bead baking racks on the market. Cindy talks about three different brands of bead baking racks. When I started, I was inspired to not spend any more money on polymer clay supplies. Click this link to see!
Really cool product. Thanks for telling us Cindy Leitz!

So I problem solve by working with what I have and made my own.

Now that I know I love polymer clay, thanks to cindy's advice and reviews I chose to purchase an AMACO bead rack. And also I took her advice on using SUGRU (click here to see how cool this stuff is) to improve the Amaco rack bead pin slots.
It works beautifully. I will share more on this in the future, but for now I couldn't wait and wanted to post this article as well as some more great Polymer Clay Tutor videos by Cindy Lietz on the subject of baking polymer clay and bead racks.
