Create the daisy elements by warming up the clay in your palms then rolling it into a smooth ball.
Place one colour in the centre and then work other balls around it to create the daisy shape. Push the FIMO together so it sticks. Place in an oven-proof dish and bake for 30 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius.
Once cooled completely, attach the daisies to the hair clip using a hot glue gun.
Choose your colour palette, we've gone for pinks, terracotta and creamy tones, but you could use any colour FIMO for this project.
Begin by rolling balls of FIMO. When building your daisies you'll want six balls around a centre ball (all roughly the same size). We've created different sized daisies to upcycle the mirror with.
Make sure the FIMO is smooth.
Begin by making your daisy shapes. Do this by working six similar-sized balls around a central ball. Push them together to stick your FIMO in place and smooth out any pushed-in edges.
Bake the FIMO in the oven for half an hour at 110 degrees Celsius to set. Once cooled, you can begin gluing your daisies to the mirror.
Cover as much of the mirror as you wish, you can cover the mirror fully or create clusters of daisies in the corners.
Push your candlestick into the middle ball to make the correct size indent for your holder. Be sure to push directly down and don't wiggle it around otherwise the space will be too wide to hold the candlestick upright.
Place on an oven-proof dish and bake in the oven at 110 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
Leave to cool completely before placing your candle in.
