Tip
Cake icing tools are perfect for cutting delicate shapes from Fimo. Try Cakecraftshop for a great range of cutters.
1) Unwrap a pack of Fimo and roll it into a ball, then roll out to a thickness of 3mm onto a smooth, clean cutting board or worktop.
2) Using the cutters, make 11 small, three medium and four large
carnations, then roll 11 pea-sized balls of Fimo. Finally, cut eight
leaf shapes using the craft knife. Place on the baking tray, lifting the petals and leaves so they aren't flat to provide dimension.
3) Preheat the oven to 110˚C/Gas 1⁄4. Bake the flowers and
petals for 30 min. Cool completely. Using super glue, stick a ball to
the centre of each of the small flowers, then glue a small flower to each medium or large flower. Using our finished vase as a guide, glue on the flowers and leaves.
