Using your Unfinished Baltic Birch Wood Mermaid Silhouette is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that came with the craft. This was there to protect the wood during cutting and shipping. Now, you can start your DIY project. You can paint it, add glitter, or use it as a stencil. If you need a hole in the silhouette, just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. If you want to store it, make sure it's in a dry place. We hope you have a great time creating with your mermaid silhouette!
