How to Replace a Broken Precious Moment

Precious Moments are collectible figurines that hold a lot of sentimental, and sometimes monetary, value. If one is accidentally broken, replacing it could be as easy as ordering a new one from the manufacturers. But older pieces could be harder to come by and take longer to find. Auction sites and individual collectors may be your only options if the piece you need to replace is not in production anymore. Be prepared to pay more than you paid for the original piece because the oldest precious moments can be very expensive.

Instructions
