Brought to you by Becca Macdonald Studio, the fingerprint jewellery is created in your hands and finished in hers. The kits include everything needed to craft up to two silver fingerprint necklaces from the comfort of home. No moulds will be made and no casts will be copied, the piece of silver that’s touched will become the fingerprint charm that’s worn. Create with your little ones, a precious reminder of them being so little. The Personal Touch Jewellery Crafting Kits include illustrated instructions and access to an online tutorial video, ensuring anyone can create an utterly unique necklace to be treasured. The one-of-a-kind, never to be recreated, silver necklaces will be returned in the post after Becca Macdonald Studio has worked its magic. Of all the billions of people in the world, no two of us will have the same fingerprints, not even identical twins! There really is nothing more original to a loved one than the mark of their touch. The kit was devised during lockdown whilst there was distance between us all, for what’s more personal than a fingerprint to keep that special someone close? info@beccamacdonald.com www.beccamacdonald.com SOLOCRAFTS This lovely brightly coloured wreath counted cross stitch design from RIOLIS would bring Christmas joy to any house.
