Working with Fimo leather clay

This video gives you a look at my first time working with Fimo leather clay. Although the end product was a bit of a fail, I think it teaches a good lesson on the dos and don’ts of working with this medium.
The project was baked for 1 hour at 265 degrees f.

Thank you so much. I bought some a while ago and haven't used it yet. It sounds like a one color background strip for a bracelet or watch band might be all I use it for.

I’m going to try it again, hopefully with better luck!

Im looking at this from the perspective of a leather crafter, making cow leather items for 10 years, the fimo leather is very interesting potentially

My intention has been to give the leather female another try I just have been busy with other project so I think you are inspiring me to want to give it another try and make something else and see what happens

Hello
From my experience, you'd have to do this thinner.
I couldn't see it exactly now, but actually it's relatively soft.
Maybe you need a little more warmth and a little more processing time.
And it baked too long. At 130 degrees Celsius in the oven, 30 minutes is enough.
Actually, you can use it to make very beautiful things, like bracelets or bookmarks.
Hope it will help you.
I Love dieney too

Good to know the pros and cons of this stuff, I have seen it at hobby lobby and have thought about getting it, but keep walking. lol definitely a one color project for them because mixing can prove to be a chore. 🤣🤣 Tfs hugs

Thank you for your feedback. Although it didn’t turn out quite like I had hoped, I felt it did give insight to the product. 😃
