DIY Kit
A beginner-friendly creative reset with everything needed for this design and a clear step-by-step guide.
15-20 min to make
24-48 hr to air-dry
70-100 ml cream included
One reel usually uses about 20-30 ml, leaving plenty to practice or decorate card holders, phone cases, keychains, pens, and more.
Want a do-over? During the first 5 minutes, while the cream is still fresh, rinse it from the acrylic base with clean water, dry the base, and start again.

Colors, shapes, and sizes may vary slightly from the photos — small differences are normal and part of the handmade charm, not defects.
