Making clay Christmas decorations?
I posted in crafting about where is the cheapest place for Fimo but then thought actually this might be a better section to ask in. For those who make Christmas tree decorations out of some kind of clay what do you use? I used Fimo today but it’s probably going to work out at £1.50+ per a gingerbread man and I wanted to be…
