Hi everyone!
Not sure where this should go so please move around to the correct place XD
Anywho i'm having a right arsey time with fimo and my findings!
for example.
I make a gorgeous yummy donut pendant, stick the finding in, bake for the correct time and then after cooling and 'varnishing' and can now wear it!
So i'm wearing *lalalalaaaaa* and oh no! the friggin finding has come away from the pendant.
Why is this!??? i'm assuming its because the pendant is too heavy for the finding but i don't know how to get thickerones or if its just me.
HELP!!!
thank youuuu ^___^

You probably just need to use a little glue to get it stuck in place.

I don't think findings are meant to be baked. It could be destroying the metal. I would just put your findings in after your fimo is baked and sealed. You can use a toothpick to create a hole for your findings.

Re: fimo and findings help!
When you put the finding in did you push it in deep enough so some of the loopy was stuck in? If you know what I mean. That stopped my problem
