Bead Cap Tut
 
Is there a good tutorial out there for bead caps?

I have this one and found it useful.

I just bought Ronnie Renee's and it is excellent! Hodgepodgerie on etsy also has one that is very good. I have both and they are both excellent!

Can someone tell me what these bead caps are made from? Are they PMC or metal formed?

You can do either, but most are metal formed.

Thanks. Just wasn't sure. I haven't done either but thinking about trying PMC. Just haven't taken the big step yet. Maybe I'll practice with polymer clay first...LOL

Here are some I did in silver PMC:

And bronze metal clay:

I use large gemstone beads (on a tray of lampwork, no less) to form the caps while the clay dries:

Ronnie Renee's tutorial is a good one.

simvet02 2011-06-29 11:06am

Is Ronnie's PMC or metal?

Laura, those are so cool, thanks for sharing. I so want to try PMC. I have a larger kiln just sitting there waiting to be used for that.

Those PMC bead caps are cool! Really pretty!

Pat 2011-07-02 5:43pm

Ronnie's is metal.

So... here it is 4.5 years later, I cannot find my copy of this tutorial, and Ronnie Renee doesn't seem to have an Etsy shop. Does anyone know how to contact her?

Is that Ronnie Winterringer? If so, try Facebook

Edited to say: I have no clue if they are the same person, but I have that thought from somewhere.

Thank you for the tip.
