Create unique and elegant Ramadan decorations using FIMO clay. Choose from a range of colours to fit your style, and add a little sparkle using gold gilding leaves.

Anyone can make these festive decorations using the print-at-home template. Once you’ve made them, hang them to create a wall hanging, or why not use them as luxurious gift tags?

Project and instructions by Rumana from The Little Pomegranate.

Step 14

Use a skewer or something sharp to create a hole in the top of each shape to enable each to hang. Bake the pieces in the oven to harden and cure, following the instructions on the packet.

Step 15

Pass clear thread or ribbon through each of the holes to hang them up.
