To make one pair of angel wings, take one pack of
FIMO effect in the gemstone colour ruby quartz and
roll it out to a sheet using the acrylic roller rst and
then the clay machine on setting 1.

Roll out a second sheet of FIMO effect in ruby quartz.
Then place the two sheets on top of each other along
the long edge, overlapping slightly at the join; fold in
half and roll out again on setting 1. Continue to roll,
fold and roll again until you are left with a large,
smooth sheet of FIMO effect.

Always put the folded sheet into the clay machine
folded edge rst.
1
Put both wings on the baking paper so that they meet
in the middle. Smooth over the join with your ngers.

Next, carefully cover the wings with gold leaf metal.
Gently smooth over the leaf metal using your nger
or a brush rst and then roll over it using the acrylic
roller.

Print and cut out the pattern sheets required.
You can see which angel wings belong together by
the numbers on the pattern sheet.

Place the sheet of FIMO effect on the baking paper.
Next, place the rst wing pattern sheet on it, press on
gently with your nger and then cut the wing out by
going around the edge of the template with the
kitchen knife.

Remove any excess modelling clay, knead it, press it
at, roll out another sheet of FIMO effect as
described in step 1 and then cut out the second wing.

Put the pattern sheets back on the wings and rmly
trace over the long lines on the wing tips using a
pointed modelling stick, exerting a little pressure as
you do so.

Remove the pattern sheets and use the modelling
stick to deepen the grooved lines. For the pattern on
the wings, create semicircular indents by pressing a
at, rounded modelling tool into the clay.

Press on just deeply enough to cause the leaf metal to
shift slightly, thereby making the FIMO effect
gemstone colour underneath visible.

Lay the golden FIMO effect angel wings on baking
paper and harden in the oven for approx. 30 min at
110C. Take them out and leave to cool for a while.

To make it easier to attach the wings to the bottle
later on, they need to be bent a little: Lay a bottle
down like in the photo and, while still warm, place
the wings on the bottle neck and press in the middle
to make them slightly curved.

Support the tips of the wings using small wooden
blocks this will keep them straight. Leave in this
position to cool thoroughly. Make two holes in the
middle of the wings using the punch pliers. Thread an
approx. 10 to 15 cm long piece of gold wire through
the holes. Hold the FIMO effect angel wings in place
on the neck of the bottle. Use the at nose pliers to
twist the ends of the wire until the gold wire is close
to the neck of the bottle and the angel wings are
rmly in place. Cut off any excess wire.

All that remains to be done now is to stick a
candle in at the top and light it.

Tip:
Small FIMO effect angel wings can be used as
Christmas decorations for adding a heavenly
touch to any table: Make the wings as described
above using the pattern sheets (no. 4).

Lay a wine glass down and curve the wings
around its stem. Thread a piece of gold cord
through the wings to tie them to the stem of the
glass. If the glass stems are very smooth and
straight, add a little transparent all-purpose glue
to the middle of the wings before tying them to
the glass. Fill the glass with deco glass stones or
snow crystals and add a tea-light.
