So this week’s obsession is Fimo! I stumbled upon xoxRufus on YouTube (I’ve no idea how to link yet) and binge watched a tonne of her videos. How cute are her cupcakes?
Suddenly, and unsurprisingly, I wanted to have a go. My daughter is finishing krippe (nursery) soon to start Kindergarten in August so I’ve been trying to think of something she can make for her teachers as parting gifts. Fimo is clearly the answer.
My daughter’s comforter is her Jellycat bunny ‘Jingle’, so having picked up some Fimo in appropriate colours we decided a keychain or similar with a mini Jingle on it would be a sweet reminder. Here are my daughter’s attempts;
I think she did a great job!
Obviously I wanted a go to, and came up with this little cutie;
I love her! Lots of fingerprints etc when you look closely and far from perfect but I’m happy with the overall look of little Jingle.
I had so much fun I spent the evening making two more, one holding a heart and one holding and even minier Jingle. Freaking adorable. However they are unfortunately already lost (my bet is under the sofa) so there is no pic.
Now I’m imagining making my own little series of Fimo charms or key chains and opening an etsy shop and doing a roaring trade….oh how good it is to dream!
Update: found the other two….so cute!
