The Great Wall of China Cloisonne Art Kit by Wizardi F07AM3-19-8

Fill in the Great Wall of China, a cloisonne art kit by Wizardi: the ancient wall and watchtowers wind over green and blue mountains towards misty peaks, every stone and ridge outlined in raised gold lines.

A little crafter's folklore: cloisonne became famous in Beijing, where it is still called jingtailan, after the emperor who loved its blue enamel.

Why this kit: if you love travel and landmarks, this scene makes a striking souvenir to make yourself.

In the box: a pre-patterned alumina board with raised gold lines outlining every area, packs of coloured quartz sand, fixative glue, mini mixing cups, a palette knife, an instruction leaflet with a colour guide and a wooden picture frame for the finished piece. Not included: a hairdryer for drying.

How to make it: pour a little of one sand colour into a mixing cup, add just enough glue to cover it and stir into a thick paste, let it stand for two minutes, then spread small amounts into the matching areas with the palette knife, keeping the sand just below the gold lines so they stay visible; when every area is filled, dry the panel with a hairdryer on its lowest setting and set it in the frame.

Finished size 23 x 32 cm (9 x 12.6 in), framed and ready to stand on a shelf or desk; a relaxing project for adults and teens and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves colour and fine detail.
