Thank you for choosing TwistCrafts handcrafted products! Our creations are made from high-quality pipe cleaners (plush-covered wire), combining flexibility and durability to bring you unique handmade charm. To ensure your TwistCrafts pieces retain their beauty and longevity, please follow this care guide tailored to our product categories and material characteristics.

About the Material

TwistCrafts products are crafted with premium pipe cleaners, featuring a soft plush outer layer and a flexible metal wire core. This material allows for intricate shaping but requires gentle care to avoid damage. Key material notes:

• The plush layer is prone to fading if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
• The metal wire core can bend or break if pulled forcefully.
• Avoid contact with water, chemicals, or high temperatures to prevent discoloration and deformation.

Category-Specific Care Instructions

1. Simulated Flowers (Artificial Flowers)

Usage Scenarios: Home decor (such as centerpieces for dining tables, accent pieces for living room shelves, or elegant touches for bedroom dressers), office decorations (to brighten up work desks, reception areas, or conference rooms), and thoughtful gift arrangements for birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings.

Target Audience: Home decor enthusiasts looking to add long-lasting charm to their spaces, thoughtful gift givers seeking unique and handcrafted presents, and office workers aiming to bring a touch of nature and warmth to their work environment.

Care Tips:

• Dust your simulated flowers regularly using a soft-bristled brush—such as a clean makeup brush or feather duster—to gently remove surface dust and debris. Wiping with wet cloths is not recommended, as moisture can cause the plush fibers to clump together, lose their soft texture, or fade over time. For slightly more dusty areas, you can also use a can of compressed air (held at least 6 inches away) to blow away dust without touching the petals.
• Keep your artificial flowers away from direct sunlight, such as windowsills or areas exposed to prolonged afternoon sun. Direct UV rays can cause the plush outer layer to fade prematurely and may make the metal wire core brittle over time, reducing the flower’s overall durability and visual appeal.
• When arranging or moving the flowers, always hold them by the stems gently to avoid putting pressure on the delicate petals and leaves. Do not pull or twist the petals and leaves forcefully, as this may loosen the plush from the wire core or bend the wire, altering the flower’s original shape.
• When not in use, store the flowers in a dry, cool place away from humidity and extreme temperatures. Place them in a spacious box or soft storage bag, and avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent dust buildup and unnecessary squeezing, which could deform the petals or stems.

2. Fashion Accessories (e.g., Hair Clips, Necklaces, Bracelets, Brooches)

Usage Scenarios: Daily wear, parties, festivals, personal styling.

Target Audience: Teens, young adults, fashion lovers.

Care Tips:

• Remove the accessory before washing hands, taking a shower, or swimming. Avoid contact with water, soap, shampoo, perfume, or cosmetics, as chemicals may damage the plush and corrode the wire core.
• When not wearing, store in a jewelry box or a soft cloth bag to prevent scratching, tangling, or dust. Avoid placing with sharp objects (e.g., other jewelry) that may tear the plush.
• Gently reshape the accessory if it becomes deformed during wear. Do not pull the plush or bend the wire repeatedly, as this may cause the wire to break.
• Clean with a dry, soft cloth to wipe off sweat or dirt after use. Do not use any cleaning agents.

3. Animal Figurines & Keychains

Usage Scenarios: Home decor (shelves, desks), bag pendants, keychains, children’s room decor.

Target Audience: Families, children, collectors, pet lovers.

Care Tips:

• For children’s use: Supervise young kids to avoid pulling, biting, or disassembling the product, which may cause the plush to fall off or the wire to be exposed (risk of injury).
• Keychains: Avoid swinging or hitting the product against hard surfaces, as this may damage the shape or loosen the plush.
• Clean by gently tapping to remove dust, or use a soft brush. For stubborn stains, lightly dab with a dry cloth (do not rub vigorously).
• Store in a dry place. Do not place near heaters or other high-temperature sources, as this may melt the plush or deform the wire.

4. Holiday Decorations (e.g., Christmas Ornaments, Halloween Props, Festival Garlands)

Usage Scenarios: Holiday home decor, party decorations, event arrangements.

Target Audience: Families, event planners, holiday enthusiasts.

Care Tips:

• When hanging decorations (e.g., garlands, ornaments), ensure the hanging point is stable. Do not overload the product, as this may cause the wire to bend or break.
• Keep away from open flames (e.g., candles, fireplaces) and high-temperature areas (e.g., near heaters) to prevent fire hazards and material damage.
• After the holiday season, clean the decorations with a soft brush, then fold or roll them gently (avoid squeezing) and store in a sealed box. Add a desiccant to the box to keep them dry and prevent mold.
• For outdoor use (if applicable): Choose a shaded, dry area. Bring indoors immediately if it rains or snows to avoid water damage.

General Maintenance Rules

• Do not pull, twist, or bend the pipe cleaner wire forcefully. Gentle handling is key to maintaining the product’s shape.
• Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, or chemicals (e.g., cleaning products, perfumes).
• Do not wash the product with water. If it gets wet accidentally, pat dry immediately with a soft cloth and place in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely.
• For minor deformation, gently reshape the wire by hand. Do not use tools (e.g., pliers) as they may damage the plush and wire.
