Questions and answers
When should I start to be ready for the holidays?
Allow 15–25 hours for a set of five ornaments. At an hour an evening that is about three weeks.
Are the findings included?
Yes: the ribbon or cord for hanging and the materials to finish the back.
Can children take part?
Yes, the 66×66 mm format with 5–6 colours suits children from about 8 with an adult nearby.
How should the decorations be stored between seasons?
In a box, separated with paper and not compressed. The beads are unaffected by storage; it is the base that distorts if something presses on it.
