Using these virus - shaped craft cutouts is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This is on there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. Now, you're ready to start your project. You can use acrylic paint to color it, pour resin for a shiny finish, or even try wood burning. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell us the size and where you want it at checkout, and we'll add it for free. For thickness, you can pick 1/8', 1/4', or 1/2' according to your needs, and sizes range from 1' to 46'. To maintain these cutouts, keep them in a dry place. Avoid exposing them to too much moisture as it might damage the wood. Remember, these are made in the USA from premium Baltic birch, so take good care of them and they'll last for your craft projects.
