Polymer / Fimo - where and what to buy?

[Charliepw]

hello
If anyone here has used polymer modelling clay a bit, then perhaps they could point me in the right direction.
My little girls wants to make some little bits of fruit out of Fimo for a dolly fruit and veg shop, but i'm not sure what to buy?
On ebay they sell Fimo, but they also sell Polymer modelling clay for much cheaper. EG: ebay link but when you read the instructions it seems so much more complicated than just popping it into the oven for 15 mins like Fimo.

Should i just stick to Fimo?

Why not visit an art and craft shop. They will be able to give you advice. I think Fimo is simple to use and if you are only using small amounts it wont be too costly.

I'm sure you're not a twat, but do love your username.
Well thanks for replying, i don't actually have any craft shops around near me, it will be a drive so easier to order online really, just wondered if anyone else had bought the cheap alternative.

No Hobbycraft in your vicinity?
