Using these unfinished wood scroll banner silhouettes is a breeze. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. Once that's done, you're ready to start your DIY project. You can customize it however you like, whether it's painting, adding decorations, or using it as a base for other creative work. If you need a hole in the shape, just let the seller know the size and location, and they'll add it for free. As for maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. These crafts are made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood, so they're of good quality and should last a long time with proper care.
