FAQs
What is included in the Décopatch Dinosaur Mini Kit?
The kit includes one dinosaur figure, one brush, one pot of Décopatch glue, and two sheets of patterned Decopatch paper.
What age is this kit recommended for?
This kit is recommended for children aged 5 years and older.
How do I apply the Decopatch paper?
Tear or cut the paper into small pieces, apply glue to the figure, place the paper, and then apply another layer of glue over the paper.
Can I use other types of paper with this kit?
While you can experiment, Décopatch paper is specifically designed for this technique to achieve the best results. The included glue is optimized for its use.
What are the dimensions of the dinosaur figure?
The dinosaur figure measures approximately 4.5 x 19 x 13.5 cm.
Is the finished dinosaur durable?
Yes, when the technique is applied correctly with the provided glue, the paper adheres strongly and creates a durable, sealed finish.
Does the kit meet safety standards?
Yes, the product is compliant with CE standards, ensuring it meets safety requirements for children's products.
Troubleshooting
Paper is not sticking well.
Ensure the glue is applied evenly to both the figure and the paper. Check if the glue has dried out; if so, use a fresh application.
Paper is tearing too easily.
Tear the paper into slightly larger pieces for easier handling, or use scissors for cleaner cuts if preferred. Apply glue gently to avoid snagging the paper.
Glue is drying too quickly.
Work in small sections, applying glue only to the area you are currently covering with paper. Keep the main glue pot closed when not in use.
Brush is stiff after use.
Clean the brush thoroughly with water immediately after finishing your crafting session. Allow it to dry completely before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required for the dinosaur figure. The kit is ready to use straight out of the box.
Compatibility: The included glue and paper are specifically designed for the Décopatch technique. While other paper types could potentially be used, the results may vary, and the adhesive properties might not be optimal. The kit is intended for use with the provided dinosaur figure.
Care:
- Storage: Store the glue and brush in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is securely closed to prevent drying out. Keep the paper sheets flat to avoid damage.
- Cleaning: Clean the brush immediately after use with water to remove excess glue. Wipe any glue spills from surfaces with a damp cloth before they dry. The finished dinosaur figure can be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed.
