This beginner-focused kit includes 5000 pieces, primarily 6mm polymer clay discs and zinc alloy charms. The clay discs are manufactured with a uniform 1mm thickness, and the material is compliant with international toy safety standards, including ASTM D-4236. The zinc alloy charms feature an electroplated coating, which provides a layer of resistance against surface oxidation from skin oils.
The storage system uses a 24-compartment polypropylene case with reinforced "living hinges." These hinges are designed to withstand regular opening and closing better than standard plastic boxes. Included in the set is a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) string, which offers higher tensile strength than generic clear threads, though it is most effective when secured with a reinforced knot.
For the most secure finish, specifications suggest using a surgeon's knot for the elastic cord. Adding a small drop of clear household adhesive to the knot can further help the bond stay intact during active use.
While the polymer clay discs are durable, they have high surface energy, which may cause them to stick to the plastic compartment walls due to static. The pigments used in the clay are heavily loaded, helping the beads maintain their color saturation even when exposed to sunlight.
If your project requires a broader mix of materials including pony beads, the Cridoz Bead Bracelet Kit offers a different assortment of media.
