This acrylic ornament is a great gift. To use it, first, take it out of the box. You'll notice a protective film on it. Gently peel off this film, starting from one corner. You can use tweezers if it's hard to get a grip. Once the film is off, you can hang it up using the included strings. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Enjoy this beautiful ornament!
