Using this unfinished cancer crab - shaped zodiac craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. If you want a hole in the shape, let the seller know the size and where you want it, and they'll add it for free. You can use this wood shape for various DIY projects like painting, adding decorations, or using it as a base for a larger creation. As for maintenance, keep it away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. If you're not using it right away, store it in a dry place. Since it's made of Baltic birch plywood, it's quite durable, but handle it gently to avoid chipping the edges. Enjoy crafting with this unique zodiac shape!
