Using this unfinished wood bow ribbon shape is easy for your DIY projects. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can customize it by asking us to add a hole - just tell us the size and where you want it. When it comes to sizing, you have options from 3' up to 24'. And the wood is cut from 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm) or 1/2 (12mm) inch cabinet grade Baltic birch plywood. If you need a different thickness, let us know. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. And if you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to message us.
