These £4.99 Minions Crystal Art Kits Are Ridiculously Cute

Bello! Your Favourite Minions & Monsters Are Now in Crystal Art®

I have a confession to make: I absolutely love the Minions.

I don’t care how old I am; there is something about those little yellow naughty giggly characters that instantly makes me smile. So when these landed in my inbox, I was probably far more excited than their intended audience.

Craft Buddy has just launched a new collection of Minions & Monsters Crystal Art® Buddies — and at £4.99 each, they immediately struck me as a cute mindful project or an alternative night-in activity.

Because sometimes self-care doesn’t need to mean an expensive wellness treatment or another night scrolling through Netflix. Sometimes you just need to switch off, be creative, and rediscover joy.

And if that something happens to be a crystal-covered Minion? Even better.

Meet the Minions Crystal Art Buddies

Following the arrival of this summer’s biggest family film in cinemas last month, this new collection of Crystal Art® Buddies includes some familiar faces, including Gru alongside Minions Ron, Tim, and Gus.

Each £4.99 kit comes with everything you need to make your character. You simply place the colourful crystals onto the numbered template and, once you’ve finished, your creation becomes a freestanding little character you can display.

The Craft Buddy collection includes:

• Minion Ron Crystal Art Buddies Kit, £4.99 from Craft Buddy

• Minion Tim Crystal Art Buddies Kit, £4.99 From Craft Buddy

• Minion Gus Crystal Art Buddies Kit, £4.99 From Craft Buddy

• Gru Crystal Art Buddies Kit, £4.99 from Craft Buddy

Personally, I think I’d have to start with Gus.

Why I Actually Love This Idea

What caught my attention wasn’t really that another licensed collection had launched. Crystal Art® continues to grow in popularity, and I liked the idea of doing something creative just for fun.

We’re constantly being sold expensive ways to relax, socialise and practice “self-care”, when sometimes the simplest things can give us the biggest mood boost.

Put your phone down. Put on some music. Make yourself something nice to drink and spend an hour making a tiny crystal Minion.

It’s fun and unserious – and perhaps that’s exactly the point.

You could even turn it into a low-cost evening with a friend: buy a couple of different characters, grab some snacks, and see whose Minion turns out best.

Gru Crystal Art Buddies Kit, £4.99 from Craft Buddy

The collection features some of the franchise’s best-loved characters, including Ron, Tim, Gus, and Gru. From Ron’s standout charm and Tim’s playful energy to Gus’s fun-loving personality and Gru’s unmistakable look, each design captures the fun and humour that have made these iconic characters globally recognizable.

Available to buy today from www.craftbuddyshop.com, the new Minions & Monsters collection offers fans the perfect follow-up to one of the summer’s biggest cinema releases.

Broke Girl Top Tip

Never underestimate the joy of a fun night in.

You don’t need to spend £50 going out every time you want to do something different. Look for little activities that give you something to do rather than something else to scroll through — whether that’s crafting, cooking, walking, painting, or making a crystal-covered Minion.

At £4.99, this is exactly the sort of little treat I love finding. Also, if you sign up for their newsletter, you can get 10% off your first order. T&Cs apply.

Poopaye!
