Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Simply open the bucket and begin crafting. Ensure a clean, flat surface for sorting and working with the beads.
Compatibility:
- Stringing: Compatible with most standard jewelry stringing wire, elastic cord, and embroidery floss. For the smallest holes (approx. 3 mm), consider using thinner needles or cords. Larger holes (approx. 5 mm) accommodate a wider range of materials.
- Adhesives: Standard craft glues work well for attaching beads to surfaces or other craft items. Test glue on a few beads first to ensure compatibility.
- Paints: Acrylic paints adhere well to the wood surface. For best results, apply a primer or sealant before painting for a more uniform finish.
Care:
- Store beads in their original bucket or a similar container to prevent loss and keep them organized.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to maintain color and material integrity.
- Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if they become dusty. Avoid harsh chemicals.
