Description

Instructions

  1. Small 2424

    Start with a lump of coloured fimo.

  2. Small 2425

    Roll the fimo in to a neat ball.

  3. Small 2426

    Place a skewer down through the middle of the ball slowly and carefully, making sure not to misshape the ball. If you twist the skewer while pushing it through, it will help to keep the shape.

  4. Small 2427

    Make a number of beads using different colours of fimo.

  5. Small 2428

    Slip a bead on to a skewer.

  6. Small 2429

    Place small dots of an alternative colour of fimo over the bead. Use the skewer to turn the bead as you go.

  7. Small 2430

    Cover the whole bead in dots and then carefully slip off the skewer.

  8. Small 2431

    Bake the fimo beads in an oven until hard, leave to cool for half an hour.

  9. Small 2432

    Cover the beads in glaze and leave to dry.

  10. Small 2433

    You can use the beads to make pretty jewellery.
