FIMO Seaside handles

How to make it

1. Step 1: Using a ceramic tile as a work surface, cut three portions each of green, peppermint and white FIMO. Condition and roll the green into a rectangle 2-3mm deep.
2. Trim to 8cm x 3cm. Roll the peppermint 2-3mm deep, place the green on top and trim to the same size. Repeat with the white FIMO.
3. Step 2: Trim a 2mm wide vertical slice from the long edge of the stacked FIMO. Repeat, laying the strips flat and close together with the stripes alternating in colour.
4. Roll into a stripy rectangle so that the strips stick to each other.
5. Remove from your work surface by sliding your blade underneath the rolled FIMO.
6. Step 3: Roll one of the remaining pieces of FIMO into a sausage 10cm long.
7. Place in the centre of the striped FIMO rectangle, roll up and trim where the edges meet. Roll until 20cm long and trim the ends to neaten.
8. Cut the sausage in half and curve each piece around until the trimmed edges meet. Smooth to neaten.
9. Use the remaining piece to create tassels or another handle.
10. Step 4: Oven-bake your FIMO handles and tassels on the ceramic tile for 30 minutes at 110‡C/230‡F. Allow to cool. Braid with ribbons and tassels and attach to a drawer.
