Instructions for trendy jewellery in pink and orange

1

Using the acrylic roller, make three uniform-sized

sheets out of the different colours of FIMO soft.

Now cut out different-sized red, orange and pink

circles.

Take care as you do so that all three sheets are

approx. 2 mm thick.

Its best if you think beforehand about which colours

youre going to need in which sizes.

For the pendant, use a large orange-coloured circle

for the first layer. Then place another two smaller
circles in pink and red in the middle and press on
lightly. Fill the bezel of the ring with tangerine FIMO.
For the top, use the second-largest orange circle for
the bottom layer and then add the next smallest
circles in pink and red. Position everything on the ring
base and press on carefully.

Tip:
In order to ensure that the ring doesnt fall over
and deform the ring top during the hardening
process, press the round part of the ring into a
left-over bit of FIMO before placing it in the oven.

To make the bracelet, you will need the second-largest

circles too.
Take two different-coloured circles and place them on
top of each other. Pierce a hole through the middle
using a needle.

For the earrings, use the needle to pierce a hole

through two small red circles, two medium-small pink
ones and two medium-large orange ones and then
insert the eye pins right away.

Harden all the pieces of jewellery in the oven for 30

minutes at 110 C. After cooling, attach the split ring
to the pendant and stick the ring top to the ring base
using the all-purpose glue. If necessary, use the glue
to set the eye pins in position too.

In the case of the two small circles, allow the end of

the eye pin to stand out far enough to enable you to
bend another eyelet at the bottom. The pin should not
be visible at the end of the bottom circles. You should
take measurements beforehand and, if necessary, use
the pliers to shorten the pins. Make a hole in the
pendant too.
Tip:
If, when it comes to sticking the ring top to the
ring base, the FIMO doesnt come out on its own,
it can be loosened by carefully turning it and
knocking on the edge.

To make the bracelet, string the double-sided circles

onto the elastic thread and tie the ends together in a
knot.

Using the craft pliers, bend the bottom ends of the

pins to make eyelets and hang the three circles
together. Attach to the earring hooks at the top.
To finish off, you can add a coat of FIMO gloss varnish
to all of the pieces of jewellery.
