Here are some videos of the demo I did at Craftworkshop making mobius Christmas ornaments.
The first video has some information about using metallic clay, and I made a jelly roll cane.
Next I made a surface sheet with an Easy Peasy Extruder Cane thanks to Ron Lehocky (see this article about him – he’s made over 24,000 hearts to sell for charity!).
Finally I make the ornament and… it all goes wrong!
I used a different brand of clay for the second try ornament and I had some issues when I baked it 😦 I’ll try to do another post about that with images, but in the meantime I suggest you do the following:
- Put a drop of liquid clay on the tips before you pinch them to make sure they stick together
- Don’t rest your ornament on a tile to bake – suspend it from a bead pin or try to support in some way (perhaps with balls of foil).
* Edit: see my follow up post about the problems I had *

Lovely! I enjoyed your videos. When you start shaping your Mobius ornament, how about forming both points at once? It seems like that mght help avoid cracking?
Good idea, I will try that. Thanks.
Thanks for posting these videos, Cate. I’ve previously done Moebius beads but only quite small (jewellery sized). They make wonderful ornaments!
Lovely “meeting” you on Youtube as well 🙂
Big mobius beads would probably be stunning for jewellery too 🙂
Reblogged this on 3mart.
I like this article, I have reblogged this one, thanks for posting
