  3. Place black eyes on the butterfly’s head and finish with two green feelers.

Dragonflies:

  2. Roll four lilac balls and mould into oval shapes. Press them either side of the body to form the wings.

  3. Add smaller turquoise ovals to the wings, then add eyes to the head.

To finish:

  1. Transfer the Fimo bugs to an oven and bake at 110 degrees celcius for 30 minutes. Allow to cool before coating with gloss varnish.
