Polyester fibrefill

Another useful piece of kit if you’re likely to be making a lot of beads, bracelets or other oddly shaped things is a sheet of the polyester fibrefill stuff that you find inside quilts.

​

Rather surprisingly, this stuff doesn’t melt into a puddle of goo in the oven - a layer of it survives the polymer clay temperatures perfectly well, and it acts as a nice little bed for your items to rest on during curing.
