Festive Gingerbread-Style decorations

Create gingerbread-style hanging tree decorations using our FIMO soft and FIMO liquid products. Download the step-by-step guide here.

You will need:

How to make:

  1. Knead your block of FIMO and roll out. Using a cookie cutter, cut a shape out, then using a small cutter, create a hole in the middle.
  2. Add small balls of FIMO for decoration using a modelling tool.
  3. Make a hole near the top with a cocktail stick.
  4. Place the decoration onto a baking tray covered with baking parchment and press down ensuring there are no raised areas.
  5. Squeeze a small amount of FIMO liquid into a plastic container. Add a drop of coloured ink and stir until evenly mixed. Scoop up a blob of the coloured liquid with a teaspoon and drop it into the hole in the decoration. Spread evenly to fill the hole, pushing the liquid into all corners.
  6. Place the baking tray with your FIMO decoration onto the middle shelf of a pre-heated oven and bake at 110ºC for 30 minutes. Allow to cool then tie a ribbon through the hole to complete your decoration.
