Sometimes while you're working on a project you can suddenly see some of the components as something else. The Racing Bunny Magnets morphed into a bracelet during their construction. One design with two finished projects.
Do you ever morph projects like this?
Products needed to
complete this project:
Elastic beading thread
Tools needed to
complete this project:
Basic plastic modelling
tools
Toothpick
or skewer
Non food
use baking sheet
Oven
Roll out the block of chocolate color FIMO soft clay into a
six inch long snake. Cut the snake into three equal pieces and cut a half inch
piece from the end of each snake piece. You will have three one and a half inch
pieces and three half inch pieces.
Form the larger snake pieces into flat bottom pear shapes.
These will be the bunny bodies. Roll out the half inch pieces into one quarter
inch thick worms. This worm can be
divided into a tail and two ear pieces.
Flatten some of the quarter inch thick worms into ear shapes
keeping the ends pointy. Smooth one end of each ear onto the head of the bunny
and blend by gently rubbing the seam. Use a bit of the quarter inch thick worm
to make a flat teardrop shape for the tail. Push indents for eye sockets using
a sculpting tool. Pinch off a small
amount of white clay and make two eye balls. Pinch off a teeny bit of pink clay
and make a small triangle nose.
Use a toothpick or a skewer to make holes sideways through
the bunnies at the neck and hip. Bake according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Allow them to cool.
Using the STAEDTLER permanent marker, draw on pupils for the
eyes.
Cut two sections from the light pink, aqua and lilac
FIMO effect clay and four sections from the white FIMO soft clay. Make worms of
each of these colors and twist the worms together, re rolling and twisting until
you are happy with the marbling. I rolled and twisted mine six times.
Cut this new pastel marble clay into three equal sections
and form flat backed egg shapes from each section. Make two holes sideways
through each egg as you did for the bunnies.
Roll out some white FIMO soft into a ¼ inch worm. Cut ¼ inch
sections from the worm and roll them into bead shapes. Use a toothpick or a
skewer to poke holes through each bead. You will need 12 white beads. Bake
according to manufacturers package directions. Allow to cool.
Cut two 12 inch lengths of elastic cord. One cord is for the
top hole and one for the bottom of each bunny and egg bead. Add small white
beads between each larger bead to add length to the bracelet. Tie off the
elastic using three or four knots when all the beads have been added and snip
off the loose ends. Hide the knots inside a bead.
Still searching for the March Hare!
