Christmas House Ornament, 3D Diamond Art Kit to Hang or Stand, 6 Designs

A little 3D Christmas house you make yourself, then hang on the tree like any other ornament or stand on a shelf on its own base. You press sparkle gems and pearl beads onto printed panels with a pen, then slot the panels together into a house about 5.7 inches tall with a hanger at the top of the roof. Pick one of six designs: Santa, a Christmas tree, a wreath, a reindeer, a snowman or a stocking.

No guessing at colors. No hunting for supplies. No canvas rolled up and forgotten once it is finished.

One gem at a time, then a house

Every panel arrives printed with the design and a small symbol in each spot, and the gems and pearls come sorted into numbered bags that match those symbols. Tip a few into the tray, pick one up with the pen and set it on its mark. The picture fills in a patch at a time, until Santa's beard or the wreath's berries stand up off the panel and catch the light.

When the last panel is done, the pieces fit together into the house: two gable ends, two side walls, a pitched roof with a trimmed edge and a wooden base on small feet. Turned in your hands, it has a picture on every side, so it looks finished from wherever you see it.

On the tree, or on the mantel

Thread a ribbon or an ornament hook through the hanger at the top of the roof and it hangs on a branch among the baubles, where the fairy lights pick out every gem. Make two or three and they spread through the tree like a small village that has come to stay for Christmas.

Or leave it standing. The base board and feet stay on whichever way you display it, so the same house can sit among candles and greenery on the mantel, on a windowsill where the daylight catches the gems, or on a side table by the tree.

Six designs, all in Christmas colors

Santa is the warm gingerbread one, a caramel-brown house with Santa's face on one end and a red front door on the other. The Christmas Tree house is silver-white with a tall decorated tree, and the Wreath house is a soft champagne with a big green wreath tied in a striped red, white and gold bow.

Reindeer is the deep green house, with a reindeer among gold baubles and a snowy roof under a red poinsettia. Snowman is gold, with a snowman in a black top hat filling both ends, and Stocking is the red one, with a stocking spilling a wrapped gift and two candy canes.

An evening project now, an ornament every year after

Keep it on the table for the evenings when you want something to do with your hands that is not a screen. A tray of gems, a cup of tea and a panel that grows a little brighter every time you sit down make for a quiet hour in a busy season. You can stop mid-panel and pick it up again the next night.

Every year after, it comes out of the box with the rest of the decorations, the one on the tree that you built yourself.
