FAQs

Metal blanks are durable and accept glue well. Felt offers a soft backing for lightweight designs. Both hold embellishments securely.

Use strong jewelry glue or sew through pre-drilled holes. Let glue cure fully before wearing. Test the clasp tension for a firm hold.

Seed beads and crystals with flat backs adhere best. Use fabric glue or stitching. Avoid heavy beads that may pull or droop.

Spot clean only. Remove the pin back first if possible. Moisture can weaken glue and damage certain embellishments.

Apply a small drop of clear nail polish to knots and glue joints. Store flat in a jewelry box. Avoid tossing into bags where pieces can snag.
