FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the wooden discs?
The discs have a diameter ranging from 5 to 7 cm and a thickness of approximately 4 mm. The hole size is designed for standard craft hanging materials.
How many discs are in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 wooden discs.
Can these discs be used outdoors?
While sturdy, prolonged outdoor exposure might affect the wood and bark. For outdoor use, consider applying a sealant or outdoor-specific varnish after decorating.
What is the recommended age for using these discs?
These discs are suitable for users aged 4 to 99, making them versatile for children's crafts as well as adult projects.
How should I prepare the discs before decorating?
Ensure the discs are clean and dry. For a smoother surface or better paint adhesion, you can lightly sand them. For wood burning, no preparation is usually needed beyond ensuring the surface is clean.
Is the bark edge consistent on all discs?
No, due to the natural material, the bark edge can vary in thickness, texture, and completeness on each disc, adding to their unique rustic charm.
Can I combine different sizes of these discs in one project?
Yes, the product description suggests combining different-sized discs to create figures, such as using them for eyes or ears, highlighting their versatility.
Troubleshooting
Disc surface is rough or has splinters
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper before decorating. Always handle with care.
Paint or other decorations are not adhering well
Ensure the disc surface is clean and dry before applying any decorative medium. Lightly sanding might also improve adhesion.
Bark edge is uneven or falling off
This is a natural characteristic. For a smoother finish, carefully trim loose pieces or secure with a suitable adhesive if necessary. Store in a dry environment.
Hole size is too small for desired hanging material
Carefully enlarge the existing hole using a drill bit or a craft knife if needed. Ensure stable handling during this process.
