Marbled Trinket Dish Step-1
Cut the Fimo into the quantities you'd like. You will need about 80g in total.

Step-2
Roll the Fimo into long sausages, twist them together and roll out into another long sausage.

Step-3
Twist and roll together again and keep going until you get a nice bleed of the colours.

Step-4
Roll the Fimo into a ball then place on a piece of cling film. Roll out to a thickness of roughly 3mm. Place a small dish on top of the Fimo and cut around it with a sharp knife.

Step-5
Place the Fimo into a Pyrex bowl. Push down on the clay gently to form the curve of the bowl. Cook for 30 minutes at 130c.

Step-6
Remove from the oven and take the Fimo out of the dish (you may need to prize it out a little with a knife). Leave to cool then add a coat of Mod Podge for shine.

Monstera Leaf Trinket Dish: Step-1
Roll the clay out to a thickness of about 5mm on a piece of cling film. The clay needs to be a little bigger than the leaf template.

Step-2
Using the image as a guide, create a leaf shape on the top of the clay and use a modelling tool to draw around it. Remove the template and use a sharp knife to cut it out.

Step-3

Use the cling film to lift the clay into a bowl and push it down with your fingers. Leave the clay to dry overnight in the bowl.

Step-4

The next day, use the cling film to lift the clay out of the bowl. Remove the cling film. Put the leaf in a warm dry place to dry out completely for a day.

Step-5

Use fine sandpaper to sand the leaf bowl all over to remove any rough edges.

Step-6

Paint the whole leaf in green acrylic paint and leave to dry

Step-7

Finish with a coat of Mod Podge to add shine and durability.
