It is meant to become part of your artwork. You begin with a shape that already brings character, movement, and possibility to your finished piece!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach wood craft blank starts as an original ChicaTiza design and is precision laser-cut in our Corbett, Oregon, studio. Your wooden piece arrives unfinished and unsealed, giving you the freedom to transform it into artwork that belongs in your home, celebrates a season, marks a meaningful occasion, or becomes a gift made especially for someone you love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s Included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order includes one unfinished ChicaTiza wooden blank (Little Bird) in the selected size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe choose Maple and Birch plywood because the wood has the substance a finished piece deserves. It accepts paint and stain beautifully, allows the natural grain to remain part of the artwork when desired, and is less likely to splinter than mass lightweight balsa or basswood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach size is thoughtfully created with different projects in mind:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small size—at about 5 inches × 1\/8-inch thickness—is perfect for stringing together into garlands, enhancing wreaths, adding a tiered-tray accent, decorating a gift, or making an ornament! It’s also perfectly sized for smaller hands with supervision!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium size, our most popular size, is perfect for entryway décor, seasonal displays, and small signs. It gives you room to create a whimsical, bold, or quiet statement that fits into a decorative arrangement. It is cut from generous Maple or Birch ply approximately 1\/4 inch thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur largest size—18 inches—can be used as a door hanger, wall décor, or statement artwork. The generous surface gives you room for detailed painted compositions, larger patterns, lettering, and dimensional embellishments without crowding your design. It’s a great choice when you want the finished piece to be the focal point of your display. It is cut from a 1\/4-inch Birch ply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s more, ChicaTiza craft blanks are standalone pieces!
