Using this unfinished Djibouti country - shaped wood craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. Then, you can start your DIY project. You can paint it, decorate it, or use it as it is for your creative needs. If you want a hole in it, let the seller know the size and location. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Remember, the product is made of Baltic birch plywood, so treat it with care. Enjoy your crafting!
