How to Make FIMO Clay Jewellery

Begin by mixing your Fimo to create your perfect shades. You may not need to do this if you already have the colours you are after.

We mixed yellow and dark orange to get a mustard shade, added a little black to blue for a darker shade and combined red and beige to create 2 shades of pink.

You will need about three or four balls of clay (about the size of a cherry tomato!) in different colours.

Roll out all of the FIMO shades to a thickness of about 3mm. You can do this between sheets of parchment paper to prevent fluff and dust getting onto the clay.

Roll out small sausages and balls of the other colours and arrange them onto the clay randomly.

Gently press into the clay then roll (using the rolling pin) to combine the colours.

To cut the earring shapes, we used 2 small oval shaped cookie cutters. Use a larger one to cut the main shape, then a smaller one for the centre of the earring as well as the stud part.

If you don’t have a cookie cutter, create a template on paper then lay it over the clay. Use a sharp knife to cut around the shapes.

Make a hole in the top of each earring shape and the bottom of the stud part.

Place the clay on a lined tray and bake for 30 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius.

Use a cocktail stick to make a hole in the top of the necklace pendant.

Place the clay on a lined tray and bake for 30 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius.

To make some beads, roll a sausage of clay and press flat for the base. Add splodges of other colours and roll the same as the earrings.

Trim the clay to make two rectangles, then wrap around the metal bangle.

Trim to size at an angle so that the clay overlaps smoothly.

Seal the edges using a cocktail stick.

Place the clay (including the bangle) on a lined tray and bake for 30 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius.
