Choice of Iconic Holiday Designs

Variety is essential when building a successful product line for your craft shop. Specifically, we offer this MDF Christmas Countdown Blank in two enchanting variations. You can choose the Reindeer design, featuring a playful character with large antlers and snowflake accents. Alternatively, we provide a traditional Santa Claus version, complete with a detailed beard and festive hat. Consequently, you can pick the character that best fits your specific branding or create a coordinated set of both to offer your customers more choice.

Quality Materials and Finishing Success

Quality is essential when creating commemorative decor that needs to look boutique-style and last for years of use. Specifically, we precision-cut every blank from high-density 4 mm thick wood to ensure every edge is crisp and clear. Furthermore, the smooth MDF surface is a dream for various artistic mediums. However, if you are using paint pens to detail the character, we recommend applying a coat of varnish over the top of the wood first. Consequently, sealing the surface—we prefer using a product like Polyvine Varnish—prevents the wood from absorbing the ink. Additionally, this technique ensures that bright colors and whites show up with much better vibrancy.

Simple Instructions for Assembly

Assembly success is essential for a product with moving parts. Specifically, we have engineered a simple three-layer system for the MDF Christmas Countdown Blank. First, glue the center circle only while the outer number reel is in place. Consequently, this ensures the reel is perfectly centered while still being able to move freely. Furthermore, put glue on top of the inner circle and place the top cover on. Important: The center reel is the part that needs to rotate, so ensure no glue touches that specific part during assembly.
