To use this suncatcher ornament, simply hang it in a sunny spot in your home using the included strings. It will look great in a window or any place where sunlight can reach. As it's made of acrylic plexiglass, be careful not to drop it as it may break. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the surface. You can use it year - round, but it's especially nice for special occasions like Christmas and birthdays.
