Sherry Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I need to make a string of peppers in fimo. If I make the peppers individually and arrange them in a bunch on the baking sheet and bake them stacked together, will they stick together? Or should I just wait and glue them together later and risk getting glue on something I shouln't? Told you it was a dumb question but I really don't know!

Momof2Moos Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Aren't they attached to a string in RL? I would make a bunch of them with tiny holes in the stem and then thread some string through them all. No glue involved. :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Nah, I want them as a group, semi-flat on the back where they hang against the wall, and wouldn't want all that string all over the place. I just need to know if pieces of fimo laying on each other will fuse when cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof2Moos Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Oh. Well, I think if you score the pieces in a cross hatch pattern where they would be connected, then, yes, they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2craftnow Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Well, if they don't stick together to your satisfaction after the baking process, I would think coating them with whatever you use to shine them up would seal the deal, so to speak :o Or maybe you could poke small holes in them, and after baking just stick them on some floral wire twisted to the shape you are going for :wub: . With a tiny dot of glue in each hole, I think they would stick just fine. Good luck! ( and share pics when you finish - would love to see them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I would think sticking them together with a little liquid Fimo would do the trick. Why not experiment? (dumb answer? You know how I feel about "dumb" questions!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks, Holly. I have some liquid Sculpey, so I'll just try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceG Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 The sculpey things I have made by just pressing pieces together have been quite delicate. Just yesterday a basket handle fell off. I think I will check out the liquid fimo too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Once the pieces are baked I've had reasonable luck with tacky glue, but I apply wee bits with a toothpick and let then dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
