FAQs
Is this kit suitable for children?
Due to the use of sharp pins, this kit is recommended for adults or older children under strict adult supervision.
How long does it take to complete?
Completion time varies based on individual pace, but due to the size of the 27 x 36 cm template, it is a multi-session project.
Do I need glue to secure the sequins?
No, the sequins are secured by the provided pins which hold them firmly against the polystyrene base.
Can I hang the final piece on the wall?
Yes, once finished, it acts as a lightweight wall plaque or can be placed inside a shadow box frame.
What if I run out of a specific sequin color?
The kits are packaged with a generous amount of material; however, ensure you keep your workspace organized to avoid losing small components.
Is the polystyrene base reusable?
The base is intended for a single, permanent design application.
Troubleshooting
Sequins are falling off or tilting
Ensure the pin is inserted deep enough into the polystyrene base and at a straight 90-degree angle.
Difficulty distinguishing between similar colored dots
Use a bright, neutral light source to view the template colors accurately.
Pins are bending during insertion
Avoid pushing down with excessive force; check if you are hitting a dense spot in the base and try a slightly different angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a well-lit, flat workspace where you can safely manage the pins and small sequins. Place the polystyrene base on a level table, then overlay the pre-printed template. Sort your sequins by color in small containers to streamline the workflow. When attaching, ensure the pin goes through the center hole of the sequin and enters the polystyrene perpendicularly to prevent it from tilting. For ongoing care, once the piece is finished, it can be framed or hung directly. To keep the sequins clean, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to lightly dust the surface, avoiding harsh cleaning agents that might dull the finish of the sequins.
