I am relatively new to polymer clay but already have made a lot of roses and figurines as well as other items of jewellery. The one thing I haven't been able to make is my own beads as my canes never come out right as the cane gets squashed as I cut them.

I make a ton of polymer clay stuff, and I've found that, when making beads, a really handy thing to have is a bead baking tray (like this one - wait until you have your 40% coupon for Michaels/Hobby Lobby/Joann and get it there). The tray comes with thin metal skewers that you use to poke the holes through the beads, and then you can set the skewers in the slots on each side of the tray, which holds your beads up and prevents flat spots.

Love it, keep posting good ideas :)
