Roller

A roller of some sort is essential. It needs to be made of something the clay doesn't stick to, and acrylic seems to be universally popular.

​

Sculpey does one but clayaround.com sells a cheaper plain acrylic roller which is fine, but the ends are sometimes a little sharp. A quick rub with some sandpaper will make them easier on your hands.

 

Another alternative is a short piece of 22mm polypipe from the local plumbing shop, with the edges sanded smooth.
