Craft an explorer’s keepsake in deep-sea colours and silver-grey detail.

Create a striking Nordic-inspired pendant with the Quesbo Norwegian Viking Compass Craft Guide. A silver-grey eight-point star sits against layered teal, cream and navy felt, with four red diamond accents and delicate painted braid-style lines completing the design.

A softly padded body gives your creation gentle depth, while a reinforced ribbon loop makes it ready to display. With no sewing required, this project combines careful cutting, painting and gluing into a satisfying handmade keepsake for lovers of Nordic design and adventure.

This is a modern decorative compass-rose design, inspired by Nordic journeys. It is not a replica of a Viking object or a working compass, and its painted markings are decorative rather than runes.
