Setup

1. Prepare the Washer

1. Load Beads and Charms

Place the desired quantity of coated beads and charms into the inner container of the washer. Ensure the beads are not packed too tightly to allow for proper movement.

2. Add Fizzy Powder and Bubble Booster

Using the provided spoon, add one packet of fizzy soap powder and a scoop of bubble booster (citric acid) into the washer with the beads and water. The fizzy reaction will begin immediately.

3. Spin to Reveal Colors

Close the washer lid securely. Turn the handle on top of the washer to spin the inner container. Continue spinning for several seconds until the beads' outer coating dissolves and their true, vibrant colors are revealed. The duration may vary depending on the beads.

4. Rinse and Dry

Once the colors are revealed, remove the inner container from the washer. Carefully pour the beads into the mini laundry basket. Rinse the beads under clean running water to remove any remaining residue. Allow the beads to air dry completely in the laundry basket before proceeding to bracelet assembly.

Bracelet Assembly

1. Prepare Elastic Cord

Unroll the elastic cord. Cut a length appropriate for the wrist size, typically around 30 cm (12 inches) to allow for tying. Secure one end of the cord with a small piece of tape to a flat surface to prevent beads from sliding off during assembly.

2. Thread Beads and Charms

Following the design patterns provided in the instruction sheet or creating your own unique combinations, carefully thread the dried beads and charms onto the elastic cord. Ensure the holes in the beads are clear for easy threading.

3. Secure the Bracelet

Once all beads and charms are threaded, remove the tape from the secured end. Bring the two ends of the elastic cord together and tie them securely with a double knot to form a bracelet. Trim any excess cord close to the knot.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Washer

After each use, rinse the miniature washer and its inner container thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the fizzy powder. Allow all components to air dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew.

Storage

Store the entire kit, including unused beads, charms, and powders, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep components organized to ensure longevity and ease of future use.

Troubleshooting

Beads Not Changing Color

• Ensure that both the fizzy soap powder and bubble booster were added in the correct amounts.
• Verify that the washer was spun adequately and for a sufficient duration to allow the coating to dissolve.
• Check that the water used was not too cold, as warmer water can sometimes aid the reaction.

Elastic Cord Too Short or Too Long

• If the cord is too short, carefully untie the knot (if already tied) and use a new, longer piece of elastic cord.
• If the cord is too long, re-tie the knot to achieve the desired fit and trim any excess cord.
