Using your unfinished wood cat silhouette is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on the craft. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during cutting and shipping. Now you're ready to start your project! You can paint it, stain it, or add decorative elements to make it your own. If you need a hole in the silhouette, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll take care of it for free. When it comes to storage, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. If you want to change the thickness of the wood for future projects, just message us and we'll see what we can do. Have fun crafting with your cat silhouette!
