Using this unfinished wood Santa Elf shape craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of these crafts. This was put there to keep the wood in good condition during cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in the shape, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can use it for all sorts of craft projects. The shape comes in diameters from 3 inches up to 36 inches, so you can pick the size that fits your project best. It's made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm), or 1/2 (12mm) thicknesses. If you need a different thickness, just shoot us a message. To maintain it, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. And if you're going to paint or stain it, make sure the surface is clean. Have fun creating with your new Santa Elf shape craft!
