Using these unfinished wood Bethlehem Nativity ornaments is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on most of the crafts. This was there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. You can then start your DIY project. Paint the ornaments in your favorite Christmas colors, add glitter, or attach small decorations. Since they come in different sizes from 4' to 24', you can choose the one that fits your project best. For storage, keep them in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. If you notice any dust on them, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them clean. And remember, if you want a different thickness of wood, don't hesitate to message the seller.
