I made pens using a thin dowel I had laying around. The eyelet is a great idea. I also like to make a matching clay holder for some. I like that you don't edit when something doesn't go smoothly. Gives great tips to rectify.

Thanks for a simple explanation of how you make them. I appreciate placing the ball of clay on the skewer and then roll it out.

That looks like a fun project. I have never used polymer clay before. I think I will visit my local craft store and get some. Thanks for the crafty lesson :-)
