How do I adjust the size of my string charm bracelet?
To make your string bracelet bigger, pinch the strings outside the knots on the back of the bracelet and pull.
If you are having issues making your bracelet smaller, you may need an extra set of hands to assist you. Please watch this video for a visual demonstration on how to adjust your bracelet. Do not pull on the knotted ends of your bracelet because this may tighten the knots and make it harder for you to adjust your bracelet.

How do I apply my custom temporary tattoos?
Instructions for applying your temporary tattoos:
• Trim away excess tattoo material.
• Peel away the clear plastic layer exposing the adhesive.
• Apply the tattoo’s adhesive side to clean, dry skin and cover with a wet cloth for 10-15 seconds or until paper backing peels off easily (make sure the paper backing is completely saturated).
• Temporary tattoos generally last multiple days and can be removed with rubbing alcohol/alcohol wipes (recommended method) or soap and a washcloth.
Tattoos are printed in reverse with a “white overprint” to increase opacity, which means colors/image may look slightly different than when the tattoos are applied.

What size tattoos should I order?
Tattoos can be printed any size and the number of tattoos per sheet will depend on your custom image and size. For cheeks, I typically recommend a tattoos size about 48-ish tattoos per sheet (most commonly 1.2"x1.2", about the size of a half dollar, or 1.4"x1"). For hands, I typically recommend a tattoos size about 30-ish tattoos per sheet (most commonly 1.5"x1.5-1.6", about the size of a silver dollar, or 1.9"x1.2-1.4" tattoos per sheet). For arms, I typically recommend tattoos at least 2" wide. For reference, a quarter is about 1". Sheets of more than 50 tattoos per sheet will be uncut.
