Using this unfinished wood star shape craft is a breeze. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of these crafts. This paper is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. Now you're ready to start your DIY project. You can paint it, add decorations, or use it as it is for a rustic look. If you need a hole in the star, just let the seller know the size and where you want it, and they'll add it for free. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. If you paint it, a light dusting every now and then will keep it looking great. Store it in a dry place when not in use. Enjoy creating with your new star - shaped craft!
