Using these ornaments is super easy. You can simply hang them on your Christmas tree using a string or a hook. You can also place them in a decorative bowl or on a mantel to add a festive touch. When handling the ornaments, be gentle as the capiz shells are delicate. Avoid dropping or hitting them to prevent breakage. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the hand - painted finish. Store them in a safe place in a box with some soft padding to protect them during the off - season.
