Now cover the ovenproof accessories with the pat-terned sheet. For plastic i tems, e.g. the paper clip pot,you need to make a template out of paper and cutthe shape out.

Now place all of the FIMO items in the oven for halfan hour at 110C to harden. For a wonderful shinynish, add a thin coat of FIMO gloss varnish to theitems once they are cool.

Glue the FIMO elements onto the ofce utensils whe-re necessary.

Create more milleori canes in different colourcombinations.
