FAQs
Is this kit suitable for children?
Due to the use of many small pins, it is not recommended for small children and should be used under adult supervision.
How long does it take to complete the Tiger Lily design?
Completion time varies by individual, but given the 1,600+ sequins, it is a multi-day project that typically takes several hours.
Does the kit come with a frame?
The kit includes the base and materials to create the art, but it does not include a decorative external frame.
What tools do I need to provide?
The kit is all-inclusive; you only need a flat, well-lit surface to work on.
Can I reuse the sequins if I make a mistake?
Yes, you can carefully remove a pin with a pair of tweezers to reposition the sequin if placed incorrectly.
Is the polystyrene base durable?
Yes, it is designed to hold pins securely while remaining lightweight and easy to mount on a wall once finished.
Troubleshooting
Pin feels loose in the polystyrene base
Ensure you are pushing the pin straight down into the foam rather than at an angle; if the hole becomes enlarged, try moving slightly to a fresh spot on the foam.
Sequins look uneven or tilted
Use a flat tool or your thumb to gently press down on the head of the pin to ensure the sequin sits flush against the base template.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure your workspace is flat and stable to prevent pins from rolling away. Keep the pins in a shallow container or the provided tray while working to prevent them from getting lost or scattered.
- Organization: Group your sequins by color in small bowls to make the matching process faster.
- Maintenance: Once completed, the artwork can be gently dusted with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to keep the sequins sparkling.
- Storage: If you must pause the project for an extended period, cover the work surface with a piece of cardboard to keep dust off the adhesive base and protect the pins from being bumped.
