Winter Forest Glow Cloisonne Art Kit by Wizardi F07AM3-19-6

Fill in a winter forest glow, a cloisonne art kit by Wizardi: a snowy path winds between tall pines and bare trees glowing with winter light, with a small red fox in the snow, every branch outlined in raised gold lines.

A little crafter's folklore: in winter tales a fox seen in the snow is a sign of cleverness and a safe journey home.

Why this kit: if you love cosy winter scenes, this one looks beautiful on a mantel all season.

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.
