Be Comfortable in Your Own Shoes
From the Designer: "Fun project for all ages using Leisure Arts Diamond Art. I completed the Diamond Art with my mother and 10 year old daughter and was able to easily cut it out to use in a mixed media project. The Diamond Art was super relaxing and I especially enjoyed doing it with three generations of my family. I was able to use the leftover colored gems to add sparkle and extra dimension to the rest of the project."
