FAQs
Does this kit include a frame?
The kit is designed to be displayed as-is on its polystyrene base, though you can easily mount it in a shadow box frame for a more professional finish.
Is glue required to keep the sequins in place?
No glue is required; the included push pins hold both the sequins and the design sheet firmly into the foam base.
What is the recommended age for this kit?
Due to the use of many small pins, it is recommended for users aged 8 and up, or anyone with good manual dexterity.
Can I remove the pins if I make a mistake?
Yes, the pins can be carefully removed and repositioned, though avoid over-using the same spot on the foam to ensure the pin stays secure.
How long does it typically take to complete?
Depending on your pace, the project usually takes between 3 to 6 hours to finish completely.
Troubleshooting
Sequin is loose or tilting
Gently press the push pin further into the polystyrene base to ensure it is perpendicular to the surface.
Design sheet keeps shifting
Use masking tape at the corners to secure the design sheet firmly to the base before starting your pinning.
Running out of a specific color of sequin
Check the surrounding area for stray sequins that may have fallen during the pinning process before opening new sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your sequin art is simple: organize your sequins by color into small trays before you begin to keep your workspace tidy. Ensure that your push pins are inserted straight into the foam base to ensure the sequins lie flat and uniform. Regarding care, once your project is complete, keep the artwork away from direct heat sources to prevent the polystyrene base from warping or the adhesive properties of the pins from weakening. To clean, gently dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a can of compressed air to maintain the sparkle without displacing the pins.
