Using these unfinished wood unicorn shapes for your crafts is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of the shapes. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, just send us a message telling us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can choose from sizes ranging from 1' to 24' and thicknesses of 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm) or 1/2 (12mm) inch cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood. If you want a different thickness, just drop us a message. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping. You can paint or stain the shapes as you like to make your DIY project unique. And if you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to click the 'Message Seller' button, and we'll be glad to help.
