How to Care for Handmade Bag Charms
Proper maintenance helps handmade accessories last longer.
- Store charms in a small pouch when they are not in use.
- Keep unsealed paper, fabric, felt, and yarn away from water.
- Wipe metal hardware with a soft dry cloth.
- Remove charms before washing a bag.
- Avoid leaving polymer clay or resin accessories in extreme heat.
- Check jump rings and knots occasionally.
- Trim fuzzy yarn carefully rather than pulling loose strands.
- Clean seashells and glazed clay with a slightly damp cloth.
- Replace worn cords before they break.
