i actually made the same ones that you did, cat.
they look the same but i used real needles and paited em.
mostly they're for decoration, though cuz the clay is überheavy.

You measure your dowel before hand using a knitting needle measurer.

I used acrylic paints and a clear adhesive glue for this project.

Fimo is similar to clay. It's a coloured modeling material that your shape and then bake in the oven for half an hour. You could use clay if you wanted to.
