Cahaba Lily asked:

The metal beads are somehow magnetized and when you turn the box upside down the beads will then periodically drop and hit a bell that makes the sound of rain falling. I thought maybe it was called a rain box, but no it could not be that simple. It makes a lovely tinkling sound that is very relaxing.

It's got sequins & beads all along the neckline. I really need to wash it! I've heard of putting it in a pillowcase (if you're going to wash it in the washer).. but I want your guys' advice? What detergent to use, hot/cold water, everything!

Thanks. :)

What is the best way to do this so that they do not come loose after repeated washings? Can I sew them and glue them for extra strength? If so, does anyone have a particular glue that they can recommend? Or is there maybe some kind of wonder-under type product that I can iron on the back to hold the stitching in place?? Any help on this subject is greatly appreciated!!
