Does anyone remember Pizazz from The Misfits off Jem & The Holograms... well I do... even though she was the villain, I always preferred her over Jem... I thought she was way cooler!! She had some big black lightning bolt earrings, since then I've always wanted some. The shopping here is ridiculous, and I don't get out much :( So after playing with some fimo I decided it was possible :) Yay!! I'm happy with the results... Sorry for the lack of pix... when the creativity takes over I'm in overdrive... forget all about taking pix while going along...

Take 2 equal blobs of black fimo and mold it in your hands to make it pliable. Size depends on how large you want your bolts.
Lay out a small bit of cling film (or gladwrap as we call it here in NZ) and press your blob down so its a bit flat, fold the cling film over the top and use your rolling pin to roll it nice and flat.
Draw/trace a bolt template onto some paper and cut it out. Place the template onto your rolled out fimo.
Use a sharp knife to cut around your bolt template. Now use the pin to make a hole in the tips of the bolt (not too close to the edge) make the hole a bit wider than the pin so you can thread your jump ring through it.
Bake in oven for 30mins at 110C. Pull out when done and allow to cool.
Varnish and then attach the jump rings and earring hooks, voila!!
