    the destructions say to bake it at 110c

    our oven has 'slow cook' then gas marks from 1 - 8 or something

    the cookbook says gas mark 1 = 149c / 300f
    but it also says 1/4 gas mark = 121c / 250f

    soooooooooo

    do i do it gas 1, or on slow cook, or somewhere in between the two?

    i wouldnt do it at the 1 because the package says dont heat over 130c (mine does) But i would just get some clay and ball it up and test it in the oven on low cook or whatever for like 20-25 mins and see how it turns out

    nice, you should definitely post a picture once they come out of the oven and in you hair if you want. I have two block of clay (black and a turquoise blue) I only used a little bit from each to make some plugs for my ears. I need to make some new ones since the ones I made are way to small now. I thought about making a couple of beads too.

    EEEEE YAY FIMO!!!

    110 degreesoos at 30 mins : ) Then wait for them to cool after you take them out ^^

    REMEBER: If you have the oven too high, the fimo will release toxis fumes, so just incase have the windows open in your kitchen, oorrr have it 100 degrees to be safe :D

    Yay for fimo beads!! Best ever :D If you make looooads you always have some spare, and they are so easy and cheap to make they are sorta throw away, so if you break one, no biggy :D Just grab another one from yout stock xD I LOVE IT

    Edit: Oh yea, I'm in the process of perfecting my ceramic beads, so if anyone wants any original, first batch glazed beads gimme a pm :D I'll post a new thread when I get some pics once they all get fired YAY
