Creating Gemstone Model Horses: Video Tutorial
Shine bright like a diamond! Let's create some dazzling "Diamond Ponies" by covering a Breyer model horse with gemstones. Artist Lisa Lippert will take you through her techniques that can be applied to models of any scale. Your gemstones can be used to create realistic-style colors and patterns or a fantasy creation of your dreams.
This workshop was released as part of Breyer's 2025 National Fun Day.
