Using this unfinished wood house silhouette is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This was there to protect the wood during laser cutting and shipping. Now you're ready to start your project. You can paint it, add decorations, or use it as it is depending on your creativity. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell us the size and location in a message, and we'll add it for free. When it comes to storage, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. For cleaning, a soft, dry cloth will do the trick. Don't expose it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for long periods as this could damage the wood. If you have any other questions during the crafting process, feel free to message us, and we'll be happy to help.
