Troubleshooting
Bauble halves do not close securely
Ensure no large or uneven items are obstructing the seam. Gently try to realign the halves. If damaged, consider using a small amount of plastic-safe adhesive on the rim.
Paint or decorations are smudging
Allow adequate drying time between coats or after application. Ensure you are using appropriate paints or markers for plastic surfaces. For vinyl, ensure proper adhesion settings were used during application.
Plastic scratches easily during decoration
Handle with care. Use non-abrasive decorating tools. Consider applying a clear sealant coat after decorating for added protection.

- If using the cardboard inserts, decorate them and position them inside the bauble.
- Fill the bauble with your chosen items (sweets, keepsakes, small figures).

Compatibility:
These baubles are compatible with most craft decorating mediums including acrylic paints, permanent markers, glitter glues, and vinyl adhesives. They can be filled with a wide variety of small, dry items. Ensure filled items are not too heavy, as this could stress the plastic seam.
Care:
Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic surface. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping.
