Description

Instructions

  1. Small dscf7156

    First, I'll explain how to make the fimo apple: start off by rolling a piece of white fimo to a ball, then you're going to cut it in half.

  2. Small dscf7160

    Now, make two small rolls out of black fimo, and a small ball out of the white. Squish the little ball until it's quite flat.

  3. Small dscf7162

    Put all the single parts together.

  4. Small dscf7165

    Roll the entire piece to make sure the different colors of fimo stick well together. And make sure it's not just round -we want it to have the shape of an apple slice!

  5. Small dscf7168

    Make a small strip of red/pink/green fimo, and wrap it around the white part. Add a small stem and leaf.

  6. Small dscf7169

    Cut the apple cane in slices. You'll need two of them(make sure those look quite alike).

  7. Small dscf7171

    Now I'll explain how to make the fimo lemon: roll some green (or orange/yellow) fimo to a ball, and squish it a little. But don't make it too flat!

  8. Small dscf7172

    Make small strips out of white fimo and lay those between the triangle parts. Also use a white strip to surround to whole, and finish it with a thicker strip of darker green fimo. Roll it all together, and cut slices of the fimo cane (just like the apple version!)

  9. Small dscf7173

    Now bake them in the oven! (Follow the instructions on the package of your fimo.)

  10. Small dscf7176

    You'll need a short and a little longer chain. Attach both to the brooch pin.

  11. Small dscf7177

    Repeat step 10 for the other ends of the chains. It should look like this.

  12. Small dscf7185

    Glue the fimo pieces to the brooches, and voila! ;)
