Step 1
Knead a block of cognac FIMO until soft and roll out to 5mm thick. Cut a shape using
a cookie cutter and use a smaller cutter to make a hole in the middle. Add small balls
of white, peppermint and red FIMO for decoration using a modelling tool to push one
ball onto another. Make a hole near the top with a cocktail stick; check it goes all the
way through as the ribbon will be threaded through later. Place the decoration onto
a baking tray/tile covered with baking parchment and press down gently ensuring
there are no raised areas (so FIMO liquid in next step can’t seep through!).
Step 2
Squeeze a small amount of FIMO liquid into a plastic container. Add a drop of
coloured ink and stir with a modelling tool until evenly mixed. Scoop up a blob of
the coloured liquid with a teaspoon (or use the end of the tool) and drop it into the
hole in the decoration. Spread evenly to fill the hole, pushing the liquid into all
corners, to a maximum depth of 3mm to retain transparency.
Step 3
Make more decorations in the same way using different shaped cutters. Place the
baking tray/tile with your FIMO decoration onto the middle shelf of a pre-heated
oven and bake at 110ºC/230ºF for 30 minutes. Allow FIMO to cool then use FIMO
grind’n polish sponges to smooth any uneven edges. Tie a ribbon through the hole to
complete your decoration. Hang near a window where light can pass through it.
