ROUND-UP Tool Quick Instructions & Video!
(For the Round-Up Tool set designed by Heather Trimlett)
I have always enjoyed making marbles with holes in them. To create them, I used a marble mold for shaping them for years and while this was a great use of a standard marble mold I wanted more. This prompted the design of my ROUND-UP Tool. Think about making pancakes or cookies; often the first batch does not come out perfectly, but the more you cook the better your results. Shaping beads in the mold can be like that. Often the first one is a bit wonky, but then you get a rhythm and your results improve. Most of my students experience rapid success—I’m sure you will too!
