CRAFT BUDDY Stand A05 craftbuddyltd.co.uk After enjoying a successful 2017, Craft Buddy is back with an expanded range of products at CHSI Stitches 2018. The Craft Buddy Crystal Art Kits enable the user to create beautiful wall art. The technique is similar to painting by numbers but far sparklier! Each art kit starts life as a numbered, adhesive template on a pre- stretched and mounted canvas and the crafters place coloured gems on the corresponding numbered dots. The technique is a relaxing and therapeutic activity, highly popular with adults and children alike. Framed canvas sizes range from 20 x 20cm) to 60 x 120cm. All canvases are pre-stretched and mounted on wooden frames and the designs include wildlife, nature, cityscapes and more.
