 | Who Is Design Ideas®? | FAQ's | Contact Us | What are GelGems® made of? Technically speaking, GelGems® are a semi-solid, mechanically resistant, thermoplastic polymer. That’s scientist talk for “squishy, sticky artworks that are irresistibly fun to decorate with!” Where can I stick my GelGems®? GelGems® window clings work best on clean, smooth glass. Try them on windows, glass mirrors, glass computer monitors, drinking glasses and glass shower doors. Because GelGems® can leave color or oil marks on some surfaces, we recommend use on glass only. We do not recommend use on car windows. Please see below. How should I use GelGems®? Express yourself! Put a ring of flowers around your bathroom mirror. A heart on your sweetie’s computer. Tell your neighbors, “Happy Monday!” on your front window. Let your own creativity be the guide. Can I put GelGems® on my wall? Don’t use GelGems® on your walls. Walls are porous, so they will absorb color and oil from your GelGems®, leaving permanent marks. Can I put GelGems® on my car windows? GelGems® should not be used on car windows. Cars can get extremely hot inside, and temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit will cause GelGems® to melt into a gooey mess. Can I put GelGems® in a window that gets full sunlight? Sunlight will not damage your GelGem® window clings. However, if the window glass reaches temperatures higher than 120 degrees, your GelGems® will start to melt. Please use good judgment about what windows are appropriate for your GelGems® decorations. Car windows, for instance, are not suitable. Can I put GelGems® in the freezer? GelGems® do not suffer damage from freezing temperatures. They will become hard when frozen, then squishy again when they thaw out. Can I overlap GelGems®? GelGems® themselves are porous. That means that if they touch each other, they will bleed color onto one another. Sometimes, this looks neat, but you may choose to keep your GelGems® from touching each other. Can I eat GelGems®? GelGems® are completely non-toxic, and they will not harm you if you eat them. But, we don’t recommend eating GelGems® because they just don’t taste good. And very small children, under 6 years of age, could choke on GelGems® if they tried to swallow them. So please, don’t let anyone under age 6 decorate with GelGems®. How long will my GelGems® last? GelGems® can be reused over and over. If they get dirty, you can wash them in warm water to make them as good as new. Over time, GelGems® that are handled a lot may begin to lose their brightness. Also, since they are made of gel, please take care not to rip or tear the pieces. Where can I get GelGems®? GelGems® are available at specialty stores nationwide.
