Using your unfinished wood house silhouette shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This backing is there to protect the wood during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, just message the seller with the size and location you want, and they'll add it for free. You can use this wood shape for various craft projects, like wall decor or a base for a little diorama. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture as it might warp. If you want to paint or stain the wood, make sure the surface is clean. You can sand it lightly if you want a smoother finish. These shapes are made of cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood, so they're quite durable. Just handle them with care to keep them looking great for your craft projects.
