Using these unfinished wood Christmas stocking shapes is a breeze for your DIY projects. First, peel off the protective paper backing that comes on most of the crafts. This backing is there to keep the wood safe during laser cutting and shipping. You can customize the stocking by adding a hole. Just tell us the size and where you want it, and we'll do it for free. These stockings come in sizes from 2' to 24', so pick the one that fits your project best. They're made from cabinet - grade Baltic birch plywood in 1/8 (3mm), 1/4 (6mm) or 1/2 (12mm) inch thicknesses. If you need a different thickness, don't hesitate to message us. When it comes to maintenance, keep the wood in a dry place to prevent warping or damage. And if you want to paint or decorate it, use wood - friendly paints and tools. That's all you need to know to make the most of these wonderful wood stocking crafts!
