Using these unfinished wood cotton candy shapes is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on the craft. This was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in your shape, let the seller know the size and where you want it. You can use these shapes for all sorts of creative projects. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. If you want to paint or stain the wood, make sure it's in a well - ventilated area. And always follow the instructions on the paint or stain product. These shapes are available in different diameters from 1' to 36' and different thicknesses, so choose what suits your project best. Have fun crafting!
