Using this unfinished wood moon fairy silhouette is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can customize the silhouette by adding a hole. Just send us a message with the size and location you want, and we'll do it for free. These silhouettes come in sizes from 3' to 36' and are cut from 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) inch cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood. If you need a different thickness, don't hesitate to tell us. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping or rotting. You can paint or stain the wood according to your craft project. And remember, all our products are hand - made in the Pittsburgh suburbs, so you're getting a high - quality, detailed item. If you have any questions along the way, just click the 'Message Seller' button, and we'll be happy to help.
