The birch surface arrives unfinished and ready to paint, stain, or glue, giving makers a flat, frame-shaped cutout for painting, layering, and mixed-media craft assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSold in packs of 5, 25, and 100, it works as a standalone decorative piece or as a base layer in a larger craft build where the open center serves as a design window.

It also serves as a layering piece in mixed-media or collage work, glued over a painted panel, fabric swatch, or patterned paper so the piece behind shows through the window. Classroom and group craft sessions use the flat, pre-cut shape for guided painting sessions since no cutting or assembly is needed before starting. Some builders use it as a base for a wall or door hanging, adding their own backing panel and hardware behind the opening. For an expanded use, several frames can be arranged together on a wall or in a grid layout, each finished differently, for a gallery-style display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eDoes the cutout include a backing or insert to hold something in place?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eNo. This is a single flat plywood cutout with no separate backing or insert included — anything placed behind the opening needs to be glued or mounted separately.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eDoes the frame need to be sealed before painting or staining?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eNo sealing is required first.

Because it arrives ready to paint or stain, it fits directly into a workflow that begins with finishing rather than cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craftparts","offers":[{"title":"Craftparts \/ Pack 5","offer_id":47948632195308,"sku":"ST500000005000","price":4.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Craftparts \/ Pack 25","offer_id":47948632228076,"sku":"ST500000025000","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Craftparts \/ Pack 100","offer_id":47948709888236,"sku":"ST500000100000","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1456\/8172\/files\/ST5000-unfinished-wood-frame-6x5-inch.jpg?v=1790131205","url":"https:\/\/www.craftparts.com\/products\/5-x-6-birch-plywood-rectangle-frame","provider":"Craftparts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
