Mum got a candle making kit from the range. You couldn't make what it said on the box but it was fun anyway

I made these patterns by making a rod and rolling it in another colour then freezing it and then cutting it into thin slices.

I have made some more fimo models. The strawberry had white dots on it before but mum said the looked like maggots so I used a dimple tool to put spots on it. The heart is my own idea and not from YouTube. The eye pins have arrived in the post so now I can hang my litre models
