Craft Buddy has launched a line of Disney Crystal Art Pin Badges, designed and developed in-house.
The collection features 15 designs, each celebrating beloved Disney characters in pin badge form. Each Disney Crystal Art Pin Badge is individually and randomly packaged in a blind bag.
The 2-in-1 Pin Badge can be worn or showcased as a collection using the strut that comes within the blind bag along with the crystals, pick-up pen and instructions.
“We’re thrilled to bring the magic of Disney to life in a fresh and exciting way,’ said Gary Wadhwani, Co-Founder at Craft Buddy.
“Our Crystal Art pin badge collection is not only visually stunning but also incredibly versatile, allowing Disney fans of all ages to wear or display their favourite characters with pride.”
