Can I reuse the frame if I want to change the art?

Troubleshooting
Sequin is loose or tilting
Remove the pin, ensure the sequin is flat against the surface, and re-insert the pin at a slightly different angle to secure it.
Template markings are hard to see
Increase your lighting intensity or use a magnifying desk lamp to better differentiate between color-coded sections on the velvet background.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your project, clear a flat, well-lit workspace to ensure you can see the color-coded template clearly. Lay out the velvet flocked background and attach it securely to the polystyrene base using the provided adhesive. For long-term care, keep the finished artwork away from direct, high-heat sources that might affect the polystyrene, and dust it periodically with a soft-bristled brush to maintain the sparkle of the sequins. Ensure your hands are clean and dry when handling the velvet surface to keep the background looking pristine.
