Description

Growing crystals is so much fun, but once you grow them, what do you do with them? This book starts with crystal growing, and then the crystals are used as a key component for your own tiny dioramas, combined with miniature figurines, clay scenery, and paper cut-outs. There are three suggested “mini world" designs: a coral reef, a dragon's lair and a unicorn valley. Start by growing the crystals – with pipe cleaner bases – in specific shapes and colors. Then mix and sculpt the air-dry clay to make a scene base and accessories for your scene. Assemble the cardstock jewel-shape diorama holders and assemble the scene, adding the three mini figurines (dragon, seahorse and dragon) to add more interest! A combination of photographic and illustrated instructions make the whole process easy to follow – or use them as a guideline for your own ideas. This Klutz kit includes instruction book, crystal powder, 4 colors of air-dry clay, 3 mini figurines, 3 display stands, paper cut-outs, glitter, pipe cleaners, dye tablets, craft sticks, thread and glue.
