Gilded Edge Paper Agate Wall Art

August 20, 2017

I guess I’m really stuck on this crystal thing lately. I came across this idea when I was searching through some wall art ideas for a client who loves geodes and natural rock formations. All of the pieces I found were quite expensive, I’m talking almost $400.00. Granted they were the real deal and beautiful. Now full disclosure, I saw a tutorial for how to make these out of polymer clay and I was like, sign me up for that! I gave it a whirl and just about burned the house down… Guess I’m not too handy with polymer clay. Plan B: paper crafts, much more my forte! Now if you don’t have $400.00 to drop on some awesome agate slice wall art, just keep the money in the bank cause I’m gonna show you how to make this grouping for under $15.00 including everything shown. Impossible you say? Well naysayers be gone! Let’s get into how to make some gilded edge paper agate wall art!
