Using this unfinished wood bumble bee silhouette is easy. 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. Then, you can start your DIY project. You can paint it, decorate it, or add any details you like 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 add it for free. As for maintenance, keep the wood away from excessive moisture to prevent warping or damage. Since it's made of natural wood, a little care will go a long way to keep it looking great. If you have any other questions during the process, don't hesitate to message us.
