  Step 1

  Gather all the necessary bits and bobs.

  The basic heart shape is the same, but depending on what your making depends on what you'll need after you've made the basic shape. If you are going to make a ring you'll need a blank ring, if you are going to make a magnet you'll need a magnet etc etc.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the Fimo and mould it inbetween your hands.

  This warms up and makes it plyable.

• 

  Step 3

  Mould it into a heart shape.

  TIP: If you are using a existing object as a template, lay cling film over it. This stop the Fimo from sticking to the object.

• 

  Step 4

  When moulding the heart make mold it so it has a slight hump in the center.

  TIP: Don't make the edges to thick - or thin!

• 

  Step 5

  Cut a section of white Fimo.

  Mould it in your hand again to make it soft.

• 

  Step 6

  Pull it into a rectangle.

  Then roll in out to make it thinner (I used a cup).

  TIP: Fold the Fimo in cling film to stop it sticking.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut the round edges off.

  This is your scroll pice.

• 

  Step 8

  Place the scroll pice over the heart and curl the edges.

• 

  Step 9

  Write your word or message in paint in the center on the scroll.

  TIP: A soft brissle pen, like a felt tip, will work fine

• 

  Step 10

  If making a necklace:

  Make a medium sized hole with a pin in the corner of the heart.

• 

  Step 11

  If making a ring or a magnet:

  You don't need to make any holes. But push the ring top or magnet (once cut to size) on the back to make a slight imprint.

• 

  Step 12

  Bake according to your Fimo manufacturers' instructions.

• 

  Step 13

  Once the heart has come out of the oven DO NOT be tempted to TOUCH it straight away. Leave to cool down for 5-10 minutes.

• 

  Step 14

  If making a necklace:

  Add the jump ring.

• 

  Step 15

  If making a ring or magnet:

  Super glue the heart to the ring top or magnet.

• 

  Step 16

  Add a layer of clear varnish to give a shinny-glossy-looky.

• 

  Step 17

  I then hung my pendants up to stop them from being touched and the varnish getting snagged.

• 

  Step 18

  Once dry, wear and enjoy..

• 

  Step 19

  Or display and enjoy! x
