Our personalized acrylic ornaments are beautiful keepsakes that, with proper care, will last for many years. This guide will help you understand how to properly handle, display, and care for your acrylic ornaments.
What's In Your Package
Your acrylic ornament package includes:
- Your custom acrylic ornament with your personalized design
- A protective film layer on both sides of the ornament
- A decorative ribbon for hanging
- Gift packaging (if selected during checkout)
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Remove the Protective Film
Your acrylic ornament arrives with a thin protective film on both sides to prevent scratches during shipping. This film must be removed before displaying your ornament. Gently peel from one corner for best results.
Hanging Instructions
To properly hang your acrylic ornament:
- Remove the protective film from both sides of the ornament
- Thread the included ribbon through the pre-drilled hole at the top of the ornament
- Tie the ribbon into a secure knot, leaving a loop for hanging
- Hang from your Christmas tree, ornament stand, or display hook
Care and Cleaning
To keep your acrylic ornament looking its best:
- Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth
- For fingerprints or smudges, clean with a damp microfiber cloth using only water
- For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly
- NEVER use alcohol, window cleaners, or abrasive cleaning products as these can damage the acrylic surface and printed design
- Avoid scratching the surface with sharp objects or abrasive materials
Storage Recommendations
When the holiday season is over:
- Store your ornament in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Wrap the ornament in tissue paper or a soft cloth to prevent scratches
- If you still have the original packaging, this is ideal for storage
- Avoid storing in extreme temperatures, as acrylic can warp in excessive heat
Display Tips Year-Round
Your acrylic ornament isn't just for the holidays! Consider these year-round display options:
- Use an ornament stand to display on a shelf or mantel
- Hang in a sunny window (though avoid prolonged direct sunlight)
- Create a memory wall with multiple ornaments hung on decorative hooks
- Use as unique gift tags for special occasions
FAQ
Q: My ornament arrived with a cloudy film. Is it damaged?
A: No, all our acrylic ornaments come with a protective film on both sides. Simply peel this film off, and you'll reveal the crystal-clear acrylic beneath.
Q: Can I personalize my acrylic ornament further after receiving it?
A: We don't recommend adding to the design yourself as most markers or paints won't adhere properly to acrylic. Instead, please contact us if you'd like to order a new custom design.
Q: How durable are these ornaments?
A: Our acrylic ornaments are quite durable and resistant to shattering, unlike glass. However, they can scratch if not handled carefully. Follow our care instructions to keep them looking their best.
Q: Will the design fade over time?
A: We use high-quality UV-resistant printing methods, but like all printed items, extremely prolonged direct sunlight exposure may cause slight fading over many years. For longest life, display away from direct sunlight when possible.
