Fingers Crossed

By Mel Burns

Materials Required:

Cream parchment paper 9.5cm x 9.5cm.

1 Pair 3mm joggle eyes.

Black felt tipped fine pen.

White pen.

Kitchen foil.

Navy Blue Fimo.

UHU All purpose adhesive.

Superglue.

Card mount: DE09U, Dark Blue.

To Make The Card:

Glue the piece of cream parchment paper

behind the aperture and glue the card closed.

Knead the fimo until soft and pliable. Roll

four 5mm balls of fimo then roll these out

to make four sausages each approximately

45mm long.

Place the four sausages

onto a piece of kitchen foil or

non stick baking parchment

crossing over each in the

centre as shown. Gently press

the centre point with a finger

to join the arms.

Curl the tip of

each arm, the easi-

est way to do this is

as follows. Hold a

pencil upright and

with the tip pressed

onto the foil next

to the arm to be

curved. Carefully

lift the end of the arm and curve it round the

tapered part of the pencil. Seven of the arms

should be curved to look rather like the handle of

a walking stick and the eighth should be curved

to make a loop.

Roll a 1cm ball from the remaining softened

fimo. Slightly elongate the ball making it egg

shaped for the head and press gently onto the

arms. Cross two of the arms

over close to the body.

Pre-heat and bake the

octopus in the oven, usually

for around 30mins at 130˚C.

Check the instructions given

on the packet as they may

be different.

Once the octopus is cool glue the eyes into

place. I use superglue for this as it is very

effective at keeping the eyes on the fimo. It is

important to keep the superglue well out of

reach of children and follow the instructions

carefully to prevent accidents.

Glue the octopus onto the cream background

using UHU black top glue. Draw the fishes, shell

and waves onto the background using the black

pen and add the “Fingers Crossed!” onto the

card in white using the photograph to guide you.
