Using these unfinished wood pumpkin vines shapes is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. You can use these shapes for all sorts of craft projects. If you need a hole in the shape, tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. For storage, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping. When crafting, use regular woodworking tools. Just remember, the wood is unfinished, so you can paint, stain, or decorate it as you like. If you have any problems or questions while using the product, don't hesitate to message us, and we'll be happy to help.
