This is an instructable on how to shrink Fimo pictures into miniscule multiple minis.
I saw a „how to“ instruction on this years ago and have wanted to try it myself ever since. To be honest I never believed it would work, but I was clearly wrong!
The Picture

I used a glass from an old picture frame and drew my sketch on the backside. Then I kneaded my Fimo (using mostly leftovers) and put it into my „pattern“. (About 1/2 cm in height)
Shrinking

Once my pheonix was finished I flattened it with a rolling pin. (Carefully, just to smooth the top). Then It used a ruler to carefully push inward. I changed directions frequently.
Once the picture was compact, I started rolling it with my flat hand, as I would with clay. Eventually this resulted in a tube of about 1/2 inch in diameter.

Now I cut the tube and voila my original 10cm (4 inch) picture was still well recognizable, even though the tube was thinner than a cent piece.
Wow!
Now I only had to cut, flatten and bake the Fimo according to instructions.
Finally I glued my pheonixes to earringthingies, done!
Be Proud
