Kids craft coming up next week…I absolutely promise this time! If you love crystals and gems as much as I do then check out these cool projects:Įdited to add: Check out this great advent calendar idea using my paper gems. If you spray them lightly on one side they look very pretty and a bit more crystal-like! Skip below the jump for pdf templates and instructions.

I would love to make about a hundred and string them up in front of my window…however there is a limit to my patience!! You can use these paper gems as hanging decorations (for your Christmas tree) or you can incorporate them into a mobile or garland. My paper gems were very influenced by these wonderful crayons (via Deborah’s Pinterest board). By the way this project is quite fiddly so more aimed at grown-ups or older kids.

This has got to be one of my favourite projects to date…which is a good job because I nearly broke my brain putting the templates together!! I’m not so good at maths and figuring out angles (my lovely Mum is a retired maths teacher so I should know better!).
