Rainbow Crystal Heart
Create a stunning Rainbow Crystal Heart using colorful craft materials that adds beauty to your space and serves as a fun project for all ages.
Ingredients
Materials Needed
- 1 bottle Clear glue or resin Use for encapsulating colors
- Assorted sheets Colored craft paper or cellophane sheets (red, yellow, green, blue, purple) Different colors add variety
- 1 mold Heart-shaped mold (silicone or plastic) Silicone molds make removal easier
- 1 piece Scissors For cutting colored sheets
- 1 optional Tweezers Helpful for placing small pieces
- 1 optional Glitter For added sparkle
- 1 brush Paintbrush For applying glue or resin
Instructions
Preparation
- Clean your heart-shaped mold to ensure a clear finish.
- If using silicone, lightly coat it with a bit of cooking spray for easy removal.
Crafting Steps
- Cut the colored craft paper or cellophane into small shapes (squares or triangles). Aim for a mix of all colors – the more variety, the better!
- Place a thin layer of clear glue or resin at the bottom of the mold using a paintbrush.
- Begin to layer your colored pieces, starting with one color and then using another to fill gaps.
- If you’d like some sparkle, sprinkle some glitter on top before adding another layer of glue or resin.
- Once all pieces are in place, add one final layer of glue or resin to encapsulate the colors. Make sure everything is covered for a smooth finish.
- Allow your Rainbow Crystal Heart to dry completely. Follow the drying times suggested for glue or resin.
- Carefully pop the heart out of the mold once dried. Display it in a window or a spot where sunlight can accentuate the colors!
Notes
Experiment with different mold shapes and materials. Keep the heart in a dry, cool place to avoid fading. Handmade gifts are special for every occasion!
