Care, Cleaning & Maintenance for Your DIY Terrarium Set

To ensure your crafting materials stay fresh and your finished terrarium looks its absolute best, follow these factual care guidelines:

• Clay Storage: Always keep opened, unused polymer clay in a tightly sealed container to prevent it from gathering dust or debris (the oil-based clay will not dry out on its own).

• Safety Precautions: This product is not food safe. Adult supervision is strictly required when baking the clay in an oven.

• Cleaning the Display: Lightly dust the acrylic display box with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to keep the miniature habitat perfectly clear and visible.
