Product Information
Full details
The John Adams Puppy Sequins Collection is a delightful arts and crafts kit designed for children and hobbyists who enjoy tactile, detail-oriented projects. By pinning colorful sequins onto a polystyrene base, users can create a vibrant, sparkling puppy portrait that is ready for display. While the kit provides an excellent way to practice patience and fine motor skills, it is important to note that the inclusion of many small pins makes it unsuitable for very young children and requires a steady hand to achieve the best results.

FAQs
What is the recommended age for this kit?
Due to the inclusion of sharp pins and small sequins, this kit is generally recommended for children ages 6 and up, with adult supervision suggested.
Does the kit come with a frame?
Yes, the set includes a frame designed to fit the finished 22.5 x 15.5 cm artwork.
Can I reuse the pins if I make a mistake?
Yes, the pins can be removed and repositioned, though excessive reuse in the exact same hole may eventually degrade the grip of the polystyrene base.
Are all the materials included in the box?
Yes, the box contains the puppy illustration, polystyrene base, colorful sequins, pins, tray, and the display frame.
How do I clean the finished project?
Simply use a soft, dry brush to gently remove any dust that may settle on the sequins over time.
Troubleshooting
Pin is not staying secure in the base.
Ensure you are pushing the pin straight down into the polystyrene rather than at an angle, as angled insertion can loosen the grip of the foam.
Sequins seem uneven or overlapping incorrectly.
Gently lift the pin, adjust the sequin underneath, and re-insert the pin while holding the sequin flat against the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your sequin art is straightforward. Begin by clearing your workspace and placing the polystyrene base in front of you. Open the bags of sequins and arrange them in the compartments of the provided tray.
Care Instructions:
- Handle the polystyrene base with care to avoid indentations or breaking the edges.
- Keep the finished work out of direct, high-heat sunlight to prevent potential color fading or warping of the materials.
- Store any unused pins in a secure, sealed container to prevent them from becoming lost or posing a safety risk.
- Clean the framed art occasionally by lightly dusting it with a dry, soft brush.
