To use this ornament, simply hang it up with the included rope wherever you'd like to display it, such as on a Christmas tree or around your home. When you want to add some fun, just give it a little shake and watch the charms move around. As for maintenance, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the printing or the acrylic. Also, be careful when handling it to prevent it from dropping, as it is made of acrylic which can break if it hits a hard surface. Since the actual color may differ from the image, don't be surprised if there's a slight variation when you receive it.
