first cut one line of red fimo and one line of white fimo. Roll each into a long thin sausage.
Next twist the two coulours together so that you have a spiral. It should look like the twists of colour in a candy cane but lumpy
carefully roll the twist between your hands and a flat surface until it smooths out into a single stick.
Depending on the length of your stick you will probably be able to make a few canes. Cut the stick into sections as big as you want your canes, remember the hoop at the end and add some length for that
Take the sections and bend each one into a candy cane shape. round off the endo of the hoop with your fingers. Add a bow or some holly with the green clay for decoration. (If your not sure how to make a bow this video is a nice easy help ((not mine)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkH06apJp2s)
Carefully push a single headpin through the middle of the hoop. You can create a loop for the ribbon now if you want to but i dont like to risk bending the clay out of shape so i bake the headpins straight. Bake for 30mins at 110c or as your packet instructs
once your canes have cooled create a loop in the headpin and cut off any excess. If you want to, glaze your canes. And your done!
