The right embellishment transforms a project from ordinary to memorable — whether you're adding sparkle to a craft, bringing coastal texture to a sensory tray, or personalising a jacket with a statement patch. Our Embellishments & Trims collection spans three very different categories: colourful mixed gemstones for crafts and sensory play, natural shell slices for coastal-themed projects, and hand-designed runic velcro patches made in Scotland. Here's how they compare.
1. Natural Mixed Small Gemstones – 250g
£11.49
The Natural Mixed Small Gemstones 250g are the most versatile embellishment in this trio — a generous 250g pack of colourful gemstones in assorted shapes and colours, suitable for an enormous range of uses. Scatter them across collages, press them into air-dry clay, use them in jewellery making, display them in decorative bowls, or add them to sensory bins and tuff trays for children's exploratory play. The smooth surfaces and bright colours make them particularly effective for sensory exploration, and the variety within each pack means every project looks unique. At £11.49 for 250g, they're the best value-per-gram embellishment in this comparison and a genuinely useful craft staple to have in stock.
Best for: Crafting, jewellery making, collages, sensory play, tuff trays, home decor, children's activities.
Weight: 250g | Variety: Mixed colours and shapes | Surface: Smooth | Uses: Craft, sensory, decorative
2. Natural Shell Slices – Pack of 20
£5.99
The Natural Shell Slices Pack of 20 bring a piece of the ocean to your projects. Each shell slice is entirely unique — natural patterns, organic shapes, and coastal colours that no manufactured embellishment can replicate. They're ideal for coastal-themed crafts and displays, sensory bins and tuff trays, collages, and nature-inspired home decor. You can paint them, leave them natural for a beachy look, or incorporate them into jewellery and resin projects. At £5.99 for 20 pieces, they're the most affordable product in this comparison and the most naturally beautiful — the kind of embellishment that adds genuine organic character to any project.
Best for: Coastal-themed crafts, sensory play, tuff trays, collages, nature-inspired decor, resin projects, jewellery.
Count: 20 pieces | Material: Natural shell | Finish: Natural (paintable) | Aesthetic: Coastal, organic, unique per piece
3. She/Her Runic Pronoun Printed Velcro Patch
£5.00
The She/Her Runic Pronoun Velcro Patch is the most personal embellishment in this trio — a wearable statement piece rather than a craft supply. Designed and printed in Scotland by Asgard, it converts the She/Her pronoun into Viking runes for a design that's both meaningful and visually striking. The velcro backing makes it easy to attach to jackets, bags, hats, and tactical gear without any sewing, and equally easy to swap between items. At 10cm x 7cm in 100% polyester, it's a well-made, durable patch at just £5.00 — the most affordable item in this comparison and a thoughtful, identity-affirming gift.
Best for: Personalising jackets, bags, hats and gear; pronoun expression; gifting; fans of Norse/Viking aesthetics.
Size: 10cm x 7cm | Material: 100% polyester | Backing: Velcro | Design: She/Her in Viking runes | Made in: Scotland

Which Embellishment Is Right for Your Project?
These three products serve completely different creative purposes. If you're stocking up on versatile craft supplies for mixed projects, sensory play, or jewellery making, the Mixed Gemstones 250g at £11.49 are the most practical and generous option — a bulk supply of colourful, smooth-surfaced embellishments that work across dozens of different applications. If you're working on a coastal or nature-themed project — or setting up a sensory tray with organic materials — the Natural Shell Slices at £5.99 for 20 pieces bring a uniqueness that no manufactured embellishment can match. And if you want a wearable statement piece that's personal, meaningful, and made in Scotland, the She/Her Runic Patch at £5.00 is the most giftable item in this comparison — a beautifully designed, identity-affirming accessory at an accessible price.
