Using your unfinished wood pierogi silhouette shape is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that's on the craft. This was there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. If you need a hole in your shape, just send us a message with the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. You can use these shapes for all sorts of craft projects. They come in different diameters from 2' up to 36' and are 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 let us know. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping. You can also sand it further or paint it according to your project needs. And remember, we ship within 24 hours, so you'll get your craft quickly to start your project right away.
