Mother's Day Crafts With Gel-a-Peel (review)

After inviting us to join in with their Chistmas crafting and New Year diary challenges, Gel-a-Peel had another fun project up their sleeves for us - making a totally unique Mother's Day card. Juliette was delighted to receive a box of pearly pastel Gel-a-Peel pens for this task, after discovering the neon and sparkly ones in the previous sets.

Gel-a-Peel looks like thick glitter glue and you can squeeze it onto basically whatever you want - paper, wood, fabric, plastic, glass, ...

This kit included a plastic tray with little moulds including flowers, butterflies and hearts, so that you can make 3D embellishments for jewellery, accessories or, in this case, a funky Mother's Day card.

It's simply a case of squeezing gel into the mould then waiting for it to set.

The bigger the shape, the longer you will have to wait for it to go hard so allow plenty of time - we gave it a couple of hours. The shapes press out easily and neatly.

You can use a little blob of the gel as glue to stick the embellishments on to the card.

These would also be great as little charms for your very own Gel-a-Peel Pandora bracelet. This does take a long time to set - overnight is best - and it may well break when peeling it off the plastic sheet or putting it on, but the great thing is, you just add an extra blob of gel and wait for it to set again !

 Juliette was very proud of her finished masterpiece and we both loved the 3D effect and the pretty pastel colours.
