Products
DIY Kits
-
Are kits designed for kids?
Absolutely! They’re great for creative kids (typically 10 and up) with some supervision. The materials are CPSC compliant and designed for safe, hands-on learning.
-
What makes your kits different?
Each kit is part of the Parlin Pals world—complete with a story and affirmation. These sensory creations include everything you need, plus an eBook of activities to help you pause, unwind, and keep creating whenever you need a mindful break.
-
Do you sell the finished plushies?
Yes! Finished plushies are available in the shop for anyone who loves the sensory pals but not the making process. They tend to sell out quickly, so be sure to join the email list to catch the next product drop.
Crochet
-
Is everything handmade?
Absolutely. Every plushie is handmade with care, so no two are exactly alike. Slight variations in shape, stitching, or expression make each one special—kind of like people.
-
Are they baby safe?
Always supervise little ones with those that include small parts All are CPSC compliant and meet U.S. safety standards for handmade toys.
-
What's inside the plushie?
Each plushie is filled with premium hypoallergenic stuffing for a soft, squishy feel. Some designs also include sensory additions like beads, rattles, or crinkle inserts for extra comfort and fidget-friendly fun.
Macrame Bracelets
-
Will it fit?
Each bracelet features a sliding macramé knot for easy adjustment, expanding up to 25.5 cm (about 10 inches) to slip comfortably over your hand. Every order includes simple instructions if you’d like to shorten the fit.
-
Is it okay to pull on it?
When you first receive your bracelet, it may seem slightly waxy and the knot may be difficult to adjust. Over time, the cord will accommodate to the wearer, becoming more flexible to the size you have it tightened to. This does not render the quality in anyway, it is still just as much waterproof as it was on the day you received it.
-
Will it break?
Bracelets are handcrafted with high-quality Linhasita polyester cord—tough enough to handle whatever life throws at you. From your first coffee of the day to ocean swims and late-night adventures, these cords hold up through it all without losing their charm.
Stretch Bracelets
-
How do I find my size?
To find your bracelet size, measure the circumference of your wrist using a soft measuring tape or a piece of string. For a comfortable, standard fit, add about ½ inch to your wrist measurement—that’s your ideal bracelet size.
-
How do I care for it?
Stretch bracelets are made with USA-made elastic bead cord that’s pre-stretched for durability. To keep yours in top shape, avoid excessive tugging, as it can cause additional stretching or breakage.
-
Can I shower with it?
It’s best not to. While the elastic is durable, frequent exposure to water, soap, or chlorine can cause it to lose its stretch. Treat it like a little treasure—take it off before diving in.
