Here is a great ball making technique shared by the fabulous
@allieperrydesigns - “When I need multiple balls that are all the same size, this is my favorite way to make them. Start with evenly-sized jump rings. Line them up on a smooth soldering surface; I use a charcoal block. The block needs to be on just enough of an incline that the jumps rings stay put, but the beads roll right off into water below. The second photo shows the newly formed beads. They are even in size, and as an added bonus they don’t have a flat spot! I usually make a few extra, just in case one doesn’t melt properly or sticks to debris on the board that I didn’t see. Super easy and consistent every time!” We’ve shown a few ball making tips and I say, keep sending them!! I like to reiterate every once in awhile to keep sending tips! Even if you think it’s been shown or is very basic, it’s likely many many people have never seen it! ☺️ Appreciate you all! You can email me your tips at
