FAQ: Handmade Polymer Clay Trinket Dishes
If you’ve been wondering how to use, care for, or gift a handmade trinket dish, you’re in the right place! Our handmade polymer clay flower trinket dishes are not only beautiful, but also practical and meaningful. Below are some frequently asked questions that can help you get the most out of your new favorite catch-all.
What can I use a flower trinket dish for?
Our polymer clay flower trinket dishes are perfect for:
Holding rings and jewelry on your nightstand or vanity
Keeping your keys in one place by the door
Storing hair ties, bobby pins, or coins
Organizing small desk supplies like paperclips or pushpins
Creating a cute landing spot for crystals or essential oils
They’re designed to be both functional and decorative to bring a little touch of joy to any surface.
Are polymer clay trinket dishes durable?
Yes! Polymer clay is a flexible yet strong material once cured properly. These trinket dishes are:
Lightweight but sturdy
Resistant to everyday wear
Not easily breakable like ceramic (but still should be handled with care)
They’re ideal for gentle daily use on flat surfaces and will not scratch or cause damage to the surface.
How do I clean my handmade trinket dish?
To clean your flower trinket dish:
Wipe gently with a damp cloth
Use a small amount of a gentle soap if needed
Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals
Do not soak or put in the dishwasher
These dishes are not food-safe or microwave-safe, but you probably already knew that.
How do I style a trinket dish in my home?
Great question! Trinket dishes can be styled:
On a bedside table for your rings and earrings
By the sink for temporary jewelry holding while washing hands
In an entryway as a mini key drop zone
On a shelf as part of a styled vignette with candles or small plants
On your desk as a pop of color and utility
With multiple color options and customs upon request, these trinket dishes will surely add joy to any room in your home or office.
Are trinket dishes safe for bathroom or kitchen use?
While our trinket dishes can get wet, they were not designed to get wet with continuous use so I would refrain from using them in the bathroom or kitchen unless they will be used in a way that will not get them wet. They cannot be used as a soap dish.
If you use a trinket dish to store jewelry while you wash your hands or shower and then put it up somewhere dry when you’re done, that would be perfect!
Why choose a handmade trinket dish?
Handmade items carry a story. Each of our trinket dishes is:
Crafted by hand from polymer clay
One-of-a-kind in color and petal shape
Made with care in small batches
