    Place small dots of an alternative colour of fimo over the bead. Use the skewer to turn the bead as you go.


  7. 7
    Step 7

    Cover the whole bead in dots and then carefully slip off the skewer.


  8. 8
    Step 8

    Bake the fimo beads in an oven until hard, leave to cool for half an hour.


  9. 9
    Step 9

    Cover the beads in glaze and leave to dry.

With wire, I bent it in to the shape of an eye pin, slipped it through the bread, connected it to another 'eye pin', closed it off and continued along!
