Questions and answers
Do I need a hoop?
No; the formats are modest and artist canvas holds its shape.
Is the clasp included?
Yes, the findings come with the kit: a ribbon, a clasp or a chain depending on the model.
Is it suitable for a beginner?
These are medium-level pieces. For a first project a bracelet is the better choice.
How do I care for the finished piece?
Do not wash it; clean locally with a damp cloth and store it flat.
