CARE INSTRUCTIONS

POLYMER CLAY BOOK BEADS and TILES

• Avoid high impact and high heat. Keep out of direct sunlight. High impact may cause breakage of polymer clay. High heat can soften the clay but it will gain its strength after removal from high heat.

• Keep away from oil-based products (mineral oils, petroleum-based products & other similar oils).

• Keep away from propellants (such as hairspray) or any alcohol-based solvent that can mar the finish.

• Keep away from sharp objects. Sharp metal may also scratch the surface of polymer clay.

• They are able to repel water but are neither waterproof nor dishwasher-safe. They are water resistant because I have soaked them non-stop for 48 hours without any damage to the bead. I wouldn't say that you could go SCUBA diving with them because they are not waterproof.

• Gently pat-dry with a cloth or paper towel, then air-dry completely before storing.

Handle polymer clay work the way you handle your fine jewelry, and it will last for a long time. Enjoy your custom clay beads!

PEWTER and TIBET SILVER CHARMS

The more you touch your pewter, the faster it develops a patina, which occurs when the pewter begins to oxidize over time. The patina gives your pewter an antique look and protects the layers underneath. If you prefer the shiny "silver" look, using a toothbrush, scrub the charm with mild soap and/or toothpaste and warm water. Towel dry completely. OR you can also you a silver polishing cloth to rub the patina away.

STRETCH CUFF BRACELETS

• The gold/silver metal beads can be re-polished with a silver polishing cloth to maintain luster.

• Common sense when dealing with any stretch bracelet: they will last a long time as long as they are taken care of. If you try to break it by pulling very hard, you will be successful! Each stretch bracelet is made to order using thick (1.0 mm) Stretch Magic beading cord. The knot is reinforced withjeweler’s glue for added security.

• When putting the bracelet on, it is recommended that you roll the bracelet onto your wrist instead of pulling it on. This minimizes elongation and will make your bracelet last longer.
