Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your surface is clean and dust-free. To attach the shapes, apply a small dab of clear-drying craft glue to the back of the wood piece and press firmly onto your project surface, holding for a few seconds until secure. If you plan to paint the shapes, it is recommended to do so before gluing them to your project to avoid staining your backing material. These shapes are made of wood and should be kept in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or dampness. Avoid submerging the shapes in water, as this may compromise the integrity of the natural wood grain.
