New & updated ornaments part II



These are my finished ornaments! Only some of the apples are photo holders and the rest of the ornaments are just...ornaments, haha. I tried to take a single photo of my Miss. Strawberry but the camera was being abit silly. Oh well, I hope you all like them anyway! :D

New &updated ornaments!

Lately I've been getting my hands dirty by digging into Fimo clay and getting on with making my little character ornaments!

I started off by practicing with the Fimo clay and created these two little fruities.


They are both photo holders, and I attached funny little googly eyes which look better than drawing the eyes on. Fimo clay is amazing to use, it's easy, non- messy and you can quickly create whatever you want with it. Only half an hour in the oven and viola, they clay has set perfectly.

Today (12th April- Easter day!) , I started to make lots of my Miss. strawberries, Mr. apples and Mrs. grapes. This took a long time but it was well worth it! I apologize for the brightness of my fruits! :D



I used a cocktail stick to make holes into the strawberries to create the textured look. The grapes took a long time to do as I was rolling lots of little balls for a while and my hands were soon very very purple...! The apples were easiest and quickest to make. I pierced a little hole in each of them except the grapes (I want the grapes just to be ornaments) so after they are baked I can put wire photo holders in them.

I am due to put on the googly eyes and the wire holders in and hopefully you will all like the finished result. :D

Ta-ra for now!

A little preview...

So lately I have been:

Making little plush felt birds, I'm not sure what I am going to use these for yet I originally want to put them on a headband. I figure I can use them for other bits too. I really love making them, today I made a little felt elephant, he needs a bit of tweaking still but here he is.


Sorry about the photos, I am having some camera troubles at the moment, so I will post some better pictures when I have it sorted, but you get the idea.

So what else have Cherry Cheesecake been up to?

Coming soon: Wire necklaces, crochet purses, bags, hairbands and more.

Just a little update from me, speak soon.

Luv with cherries on top
