FAQs
What is the material of the reindeer ornaments?
The ornaments are made from Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF).
How many reindeer ornaments are in a pack?
Each pack contains six MDF reindeer ornaments.
What are the dimensions of each reindeer?
Each reindeer measures approximately 14cm in height, 14cm in width, and 0.3cm in depth.
Can I use these outdoors?
These ornaments are best suited for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements, especially moisture, can damage the MDF.
What kind of paint is best for decorating?
Acrylic paints and poster paints work very well on MDF. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting.
Are these ornaments pre-painted?
No, the ornaments are supplied plain and are ready for you to paint or decorate as desired.
How can I make them hangable?
You can drill a small hole at the top, or attach a ribbon or twine using strong craft glue or staples, depending on your desired hanging method.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Lightly sand the MDF before painting. For stubborn adhesion issues, consider using a primer designed for wood or composite materials.
MDF edges are rough
Gently sand the edges with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 180-220 grit) until smooth. Wipe away dust before decorating.
Decoupage medium not drying clear
Ensure a thin, even layer of decoupage medium is applied. Thick applications can sometimes dry cloudy. Allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
Ornament broke during handling
While MDF is relatively sturdy for its thickness, it can be brittle. Handle with care, especially when attaching heavier embellishments. For repairs, wood glue or strong craft glue can be used.
