FAQs
How many decorations can I make with this kit?
This kit is designed to create five colorful chicken decorations.
What are the main materials included in the kit?
The kit includes Silk Clay®, cardboard, pompons, sequins, glue, and cord for suspension.
Is this kit suitable for very young children?
The kit is beginner-friendly, but adult supervision is recommended for children under 3 years old due to small parts like sequins.
How long does the Silk Clay® take to dry?
Silk Clay® typically air-dries within 24 hours, becoming hard and permanent. The exact drying time can vary depending on thickness and humidity.
Can I reuse the Silk Clay® after opening?
Yes, Silk Clay® can be reused if stored properly in an airtight container. Ensure it is sealed tightly to prevent it from drying out.
What can I do with the finished chicken decorations?
The finished decorations are ideal for hanging on spring branches, Easter trees, or for general seasonal home décor. They can also be gifted as handmade keepsakes.
Where can I purchase refills for the Silk Clay®?
Refills for Silk Clay® and other craft supplies can often be found at art supply stores or online retailers specializing in craft materials.
Troubleshooting
Silk Clay® is too dry or crumbly.
Try kneading a tiny amount of water into the clay. If it's still too dry, it may be past its usable stage. Ensure it's stored correctly for future use.
Glue is not adhering materials effectively.
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Apply a sufficient amount of glue and hold the parts together firmly for a few moments until they bond.
Decorations do not look as expected.
Refer back to the instruction booklet for guidance. Experimentation is encouraged; don't be afraid to try different designs and combinations of materials.
Cord is difficult to thread.
Ensure the hole for the cord is clear. If it's a very small hole, gently widen it with a toothpick or the tip of a pen.
