They sparkle, they look expensive, and there’s no need to insure them.
Some people keep diamonds in a safe. We keep ours on a shelf between the books. The risk of theft is fairly low — unless someone in the house has scissors, glue and a free afternoon.
These paper diamonds start life as ordinary squares of paper. A few folds later, they’ve worked their way up to DIY Christmas decorations with delusions of luxury.
Put them on the table, hang them up, give them away — or simply admire the fact that you’ve just made interior jewellery for the price of a sheet of paper.
A diamond made of paper. No jeweller required.
Materials: paper cut into 15 × 15 cm squares.
