FIMO Polymer clay sandbags and wooden stirrers wall

To build sand bags I’ve used medium FIMO polymer clay leftovers, which my wife was using for her handcrafts. It’s very good quality material and nicely picks texture from fabrics also when soften can be used to create fine details on your builds. Soon will post in “How To” section, how I made my sandbags.
