I am new here and I try to make polymer clay marbles

[jeff]

I have only been making clay marbles for a short time, and as much as I enjoy it, I can not make them nice and round. And, believe me, I am fussy; any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few that make these right my marble making friend--I suggest that  you contact them--you do your own search and continue your passion.

Marble--On!!

I am all set up to make some myself. I have read that just using your fingertip in small circles will produce a rounder marble. I think letting them sit for awhile and then making them round again might help before baking. They get flat spots if the clay is too soft I have heard.  Let them rest a bit after forming. There is also a simple machine or tool if you like that makes same size and perfectly round marbles. I was going to get one just a few nights ago online. But I am going to do more research about which ones are best. Here's a link to what I was looking at.

I am NOT endorsing this product. I saw a woman made a roller out of an Elmer's glue bottle so where there's a will, there's a way.
