Create this pretty heart necklace out of left over Fimo, using our step by step tutorial.
Step 1: Marble the FIMO
Roll your Fimo colours out individually into long cylindrical pieces. Place these together side by side and twist.
Step 2: Roll & twist
Fold the Fimo together and then re-roll out. Repeat this twist, fold and roll process around 3–4 times or until you’re happy with your colour marbling.
Step 3: Flatten & make a hole
Roll the cylindrical Fimo piece into a ball and then sit it between two pieces of cling film on a flat board. Use your roller to roll out the Fimo into an oval or circular shape that is to a reasonable thickness (approximately 2mm). Remove the top layer of cling film and using a cocktail stick, make a hole at the top of your piece suitable for your jump ring to fit through.
Step 4: Bake
Using the remaining piece of cling film as a barrier against fingerprints, sit the Fimo piece on a baking tray and bake at 110˚C for 30 mins.
Step 5: Saw
Using your dividers, measure out a circle that is the same size as your baked Fimo piece. Carefully saw pierce this out using the 2/0 blades.
Step 6: Mark the design
Mark out the inner design shape of your choice, either with a scribe or by using a template. Centre punch in the centre of this shape and use your drill bit to drill a hole through the piece. Feed your saw blade through this drilled hole and then pierce out your inner design from the inside out.
Step 7: File & buff
Once you’ve finished saw piercing out your shape, file and buff your Silver piece where necessary. Then, centre punch the top of your piece and drill a hole suitable for your jump ring to fit through. Using rouge and a cotton polishing mop, polish your piece to a high sparkling shine.
Step 8: Assemble
Now that you have your two pendant pieces, open your jump ring sideways using pliers. Place both your Fimo and Silver piece on to the jump ring and then close the jump ring back up so it is flush and tight. Place this onto your desired chain and you’re finished.
