Operating Instructions
- Apply Stencils: Select your desired stick-on stencils from the provided sheets. Carefully peel them off and firmly press them onto the plush toy in your chosen design.
- Airbrush Color: Hold the airbrush gun approximately 0.5 to 1 cm away from the plush. Press the trigger to spray color onto the plush, covering the stencil area. Practice on paper first to get a feel for the spray.
- Change Colors: To use a different color, remove the current marker from the airbrush gun. Clean the nozzle by spraying for a few seconds onto a piece of paper until no residue of the previous color remains. Then insert the new marker.
- Remove Stencils: Once the color is dry, carefully peel off the stencils to reveal your design.

Washing and Repeating
The Airbrush Plush is designed for endless customization. When you are ready for a new design, simply wash the plush to remove the existing colors.
- Hand Wash: Rinse the plush under cold running water until all colors are removed. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Machine Wash: For a thorough clean, machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Allow the plush to air dry completely before re-decorating. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.

Maintenance
- Airbrush Gun Care: After each use, especially when changing colors, ensure the nozzle is clear of any residual ink. If the airbrush gun becomes clogged, gently clean the nozzle with a damp cloth.
- Marker Storage: Always replace the caps on the airbrush markers tightly after use to prevent them from drying out. Store them in a cool, dry place.
- Plush Care: To maintain the plush's softness, avoid excessive scrubbing during hand washing. Allow it to air dry completely to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
- Airbrush Gun Not Spraying:
- Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power.
- Ensure the marker is fully inserted into the nozzle.
- Verify the nozzle is not clogged. Clean as described in the Maintenance section.
- Colors Not Washing Out Completely:
- Ensure cold water is used for washing.
- For stubborn stains, a gentle rub with mild soap during hand washing may be necessary.
- Ensure the plush is thoroughly rinsed.
