Using this unfinished wood Ivory Coast country shape craft is easy. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. Now you're ready to start your DIY project. You can paint it, stain it, or add any other decorations you like. If you need a hole in the shape, just let us know the size and where you want it, and we'll add it for free. When it comes to storage, keep it in a dry place to prevent warping. To clean it, just use a soft, dry cloth. We make these by hand in Pittsburgh suburbs, so you know you're getting a quality product. And remember, we'll ship it within 24 hours or it's free, so you can start your project soon!
