Bette Jo Hendershott offers a free and straightforward tutorial for creating tidy extruded canes.
Borders have a variety of uses and can easily be combined into more complex patterns. They’re handy to have on hand.
Sometimes the predictability of stack and repeat can make for pleasant polymer play. A little math and geometry fun for you. Thanks to Jeannie Havel and others who sent this link along.

What a fun tute! I honestly had no idea that jellyroll canes would extrude so neatly.
Heidi ,
I’m with Randee…you’ve inspired me to see what else comes out of my extruder when it went in with a pattern. Thank you for the tutorial and the ideas.

Tutorials make me very happy! 😀 I am still a beginner in working with polymer clay. I learn from the Internet because in my country no one knows the techniques made ??from polymer clay that can share or teach others, unfortunately. Big THANKS to Bette Jo for sharing!!!

nice patterns for borders. I promised me so many times to make the borders interesting but I failed all the time. But now, having seen these great creations I don´t have any choice 🙂 Thank you Cynthia for sharing Bette´s tutorials and for being so hard-working. That´s so great that you find time for posting the beauty.
