This fabulously festive Crystal Art notebook kit comes complete with everything you need to re-create the smiling snowman and his little robin friend in sparkling, Crystal Art. With everything you need to complete the wintry scene included in the pack, this is a great kit and a sparkling addition to the Craft Buddy Crystal Art collection. HOW TO USE IT “The kit was amazing!

Each notebook contains 50 lined pages and is approximately 26cm x 18cm in size. A TOUCH OF sparkle
