What you need
Additionally required:
Scissors, Toothpick, Wooden sticks, Scalpel, Pencil, ballpoint pen cap, etc. (everything that is suitable for imprinting in FIMO clay), Jewellery pliers, Square or round cutters, A printed earring template (preferably made of cardboard) or your chosen cutters, 2 bending rings, 2 earring studs
The rules for mixing customised FIMO colours are simple. All you have to do is make sure that all the colours are rolled out in equal thickness and that you always use the same cutter. In this tutorial, a square is one portion.
For these earrings you will need the following three colour mix recipes. For the first colour (top row), you will need one portion FIMO effect Metallic Mother of Pearl and one portion FIMO soft Peppermint. For the second mixing colour (middle row), you will need one portion FIMO soft Pacific Blue and 1/2 portion FIMO soft Sahara. For the third colour mixing recipe (last row), you will need one portion FIMO soft Sahara, one portion FIMO soft Mint and 1/4 portion FIMO soft Peppermint.
