Using this unfinished wood raincoat - shaped craft is easy. First, if you need a hole in it, let the seller know the size and where you want it. Before you start your craft project, remember to peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This paper was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. You can use it for all sorts of creative projects like painting, adding stickers, or using it as part of a larger art piece. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. If you want to store it, make sure it's laid flat to avoid any bending. Have fun with your crafting!
