How do I attach the pom-poms?
Pom-poms can be attached using a glue stick or craft glue. Apply the adhesive to the MDF character where you want to place the pom-pom, then press the pom-pom firmly into place.
What is the size of the characters?
Each character measures approximately 12cm x 10.5cm.
Can these decorations be reused year after year?

Is glue included in the set?

Troubleshooting
Pens not colouring effectively
Ensure the pen cap was securely fastened. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-ink the tip. If pens are dry, consider using alternative colouring tools like markers or crayons.
Pom-poms not sticking
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a stronger craft glue or glue stick specifically designed for paper or craft materials for better adhesion.
Twine is too short for hanging
The provided twine is intended for standard hanging loops. If a longer loop is desired, use additional string or ribbon of your choice.
MDF edges are rough
Gently sand any rough edges with fine-grit sandpaper before decorating. This is a common characteristic of MDF and does not affect usability.
