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?
