Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of paint works best on these birch stars?
  Acrylic craft paint adheres excellently to the sanded birch surface. The fine 180–220 grit finish provides optimal paint adhesion without requiring primer for most applications. Water-based stains and gel stains also work well for natural wood looks.
• Can I drill holes for hanging or mounting these stars?
  Yes, the 1/8-inch birch plywood drills cleanly without splintering. Use a sharp bit and drill slowly to prevent tear-out. The cross-grain construction provides good strength around drilled holes.
• How much paint coverage should I expect per star?
  Each 5-inch star has approximately 25 square inches of surface area including the puffy profile edges. One 2-ounce bottle of acrylic craft paint typically covers 15-20 stars with a single coat, depending on paint opacity.
• Are these suitable for outdoor use?
  These unfinished birch stars are intended for indoor use. For outdoor applications, seal with marine-grade polyurethane or exterior wood finish after painting to protect against moisture damage.
• What's the actual profile height of the puffy country design?
  The puffy country profile adds approximately 1/16" of dimensional relief above the base 1/8" thickness, creating subtle shadow lines that emphasize the star's traditional country styling.
• Can children safely use these for craft projects?
  Yes, the smooth sanded surface and rounded laser-cut edges make these safe for supervised children's crafts. The lightweight construction reduces injury risk if dropped. Always supervise young children during painting activities.
• Do the pack quantities ship together or separately?
  All quantities ship together in protective packaging. Orders are packed in boxes meeting ASTM D5118 requirements to prevent damage during transit.
• Can I request custom quantities beyond the listed pack sizes?
  Standard pack sizes are 1, 10, 25, and 100 pieces. Contact customer service for larger custom quantities or special bulk pricing for classroom or business needs.
• How consistent are the dimensions across multiple pieces?
  Our manufacturing process maintains ±0.01" tolerance, ensuring nearly identical stars across your entire order. This consistency is crucial for multi-piece projects like garlands or matching ornament sets.
• What's the best way to attach these to fabric or other materials?
  Wood glue works well for permanent attachment to wood surfaces. For fabric projects, use strong craft adhesive or small finish nails through pre-drilled holes. The lightweight design won't stress most attachment methods.
• Can I use wood burning tools on these stars?
  Yes, birch accepts wood burning beautifully. The fine, consistent grain burns evenly without excessive char. Practice on a test piece first to determine optimal temperature and technique settings.

These premium birch plywood stars provide the perfect starting point for your next patriotic craft project, offering professional quality and reliable consistency that helps ensure your creative vision comes to life exactly as planned.
