AMACO Tri-Bead Roller Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I just got started with polymer clay bead making. I've been seeing this item in the store and wondered how on earth it works and what it does.

I finally decided to buy one and try it out. Mine didn't come with the round thing pictured above. (Maybe that is the measuring cup?)

This gadget is pretty spiffy. It neatly rolls beads into three shapes. You pinch off a piece of clay (it has to be large enough, but not too large; I haven't figured out the measurement yet--maybe I should read the instructions!), put it in one of the grooves (round, bicone, or oval) of the bottom tray, place the top tray on, and slide the two tray pieces back and forth, gently exerting pressure. It forms a bead! You can make your beads all the same size and shape with this tool.

I think you're supposed to insert the hole-poking wire before you take the bead out, but I didn't do it that way. My beads turned out fine when I baked them.

I don't know if they make the bead rollers any smaller. I would prefer beads of a smaller size or, rather, I would like to be able to make uniform beads in other sizes. Other than that I see nothing to complain about.

This bead roller is perfect for making beads of diferent shapes, you can make low cost jewelry that looks like a very expensive one with this perfect tool. When I use the Tri-Bead Roller my beads can be uniform, I just change the color. This is a really very good tool and is very easy to work with it!

I really like this product to make round beads, but I have a hard time with the other two shapes. You really can do so much with this tool, I just don't think the amount the little clay measuring tool uses is the correct amount for any bead other than the round one. It is fun to put two colors together and blend them in a swirl pattern, but I have a problem getting the oval bead looking like one bead, it seems you really have to push the clay together, which defeats the purpose if you are just wanting a swirl pattern.
