Was just playing with some fimo for no particular reason, and decided to see if it works with plier punches and it does! I only have the small heart punch, and I'm not quite sure what I'd do with tiny fimo hearts, but I'm sure an idea will turn up someday.
Just thought someone might be interested.

They do look very cute Rachel! Thought that white ones might be nice on baby cards too.
<goes off to try that out for next card competition>

Could you arrange them as petals of a flower with a small fimo circle on top?

are they big enough to make beads, Clare?
make a hole through with a piece of wire before you cook the fimo and you could then thread them together with thread or wire and a bead between them. If you made them a plae colour you could write letters on them - nice for valentines or weddings maybe.
I make white fimo beads - but mine are just flat round ones - I've got them spelling out the word "Christening" on the Christening card (shock horror) on my website.

Hi. Clare ..
What a clever person you are.
I would hav eimagined that the fimo getting stuck, but obviously you have proved the theory to be wrong.
I love the fiskar pliers. I need to master being able to match up punch out shapes in a straight line, am sure it is very easily possible, but me been me .. always have to make more things difficult than they actually are.

Kathy,
They're a perfect size for making into beads, but might not be quite big enough for putting letters on. Great idea though, thanks!
