Little Fimo Treasures

I have never played with fimo before but, when I found out you could make cute jewelry with it, I had to try it! I ordered some teeny tiny molds from an Etsy seller and loaded up on different colors (I did forget to get basic white and black though). After a few rejects, I got the hang of a few of the shapes. Check them out! These cute little roses have a lot of detail. You bake them in the mold so they don't lose their crisp edges.
These little Scottie charms have to be cooked out of the mold because I had to put a hole in the top for the metal hook to fit in. I really would like to do a few in black but that will have to wait til I get to the craft store.
Chocolate candies! Love, love, love these!
Here is a view of the sides. You can see how tiny these are in comparison to the ear ring backs.
Ice cream cones. The white soft serve is too translucent so next time I will use solid white. I also need smaller posts cuz these are sooooo small. These were a lot of fun to make. I did have to wear magnifying glasses to see what I was doing! On top of my regular glasses! Cute......... Diana

  3. Very cute! You give me hope that it can be done. If you find smaller findings, please let me know. My grands want earrings, but most of the findings I've found are too big for their ears and ages.
