Celebrate Easter by making these colourful egg cup characters from FIMO soft clay.
How to make a basic egg cup shape
Step 1
Roll out a block of FIMO to approximately 6cm x 12cm and 5mm deep.
Trim the edges with a modelling tool or an old table knife to make a rectangle. Keep the FIMO leftovers to re-use.
Top Tip:
A plain, glazed tile makes a good work surface for FIMO. Models can be made on a tile then put straight into the oven to bake.
Step 2
Curl the strip round joining the ends together. Blend over the join with your finger, or just press the ends together.
Step 3
Push a piece of FIMO into the bottom of the egg cup to fill the hole.
How to make the Easter chick
Step 1
Make a head from the FIMO leftovers. Draw eyes with a black marker pen and add beak.
Top Tip:
Use wet wipes to keep your fingers clean so darker colours don’t transfer onto lighter ones.
Step 2
Carefully press the head on the egg cup with some thin strips on top.
Step 3
Cut some wings and model the feet. Press them onto the egg cup.
Bake at 110°/230°F for 30 minutes on the tile or baking tray.
Allow the FIMO to cool before handling.
Your Easter egg cup is now complete!
