FAQs
What age is this kit recommended for?
This kit is recommended for crafters aged 8 and up, due to the small parts involved and the dexterity required for applying the Diamond Dotz.
How long does it take to make one bracelet?
The time can vary depending on the individual's crafting speed, but generally, one bracelet can be completed in approximately 30-60 minutes.
Can I use my own beads or gems?
While the kit is designed for the included Diamond Dotz, you could experiment with other small, lightweight embellishments if desired. However, this is not officially supported and may affect the final appearance.
What are the dimensions of the finished bracelets?
Each finished bracelet measures approximately 2 x 20.8cm (0.8 x 8.2 inches).
Do I need any other tools besides what's in the box?
No, the kit includes all the necessary tools and materials for creating the three bracelets.
Are the Diamond Dotz waterproof?
The Diamond Dotz themselves are not waterproof. It is best to avoid exposing the finished bracelets to excessive moisture.
How are the bracelets fastened?
The kit includes fasteners that attach to the ends of the fabric bracelets, allowing them to be secured around a wrist.
Troubleshooting
Diamond Dotz not sticking
Ensure the bracelet surface is clean and dry. Apply firm pressure with the stylus when placing the bead. Make sure the protective film has been removed from the adhesive area.
Stylus not picking up beads
Apply a fresh piece of wax to the stylus tip. Ensure the wax is making contact with the bead. Avoid over-applying wax, which can make it sticky.
Difficulty attaching fasteners
Align the fastener components carefully. Refer to the pictorial instructions for the correct orientation and method of attachment. If stiff, try gently wiggling them into place.
Beads are mixed up
Use the included craft tray to sort beads by color if they become mixed. The kit provides pre-sorted shades for easier application.
