To make

Roll out the Fimo to about 6mm thick and cut out butterfly shapes. Use the knitting needle to make a hole through the centre top of each butterfly. Follow instructions on Fimo packet to bake the shapes or air dry. For a more colourful arrangement, decorate the butterflies with acrylic paint.
