What is 3mm Blonde MDF?

MDF, or Medium-Density Fiberboard, is a type of engineered wood product made from wood fibers, wax, and resin. The "blonde" variant refers to the light, natural finish that makes it an ideal canvas for various crafting projects. 3mm, in this context, denotes the thickness of the MDF sheet, which is perfect for crafting due to its sturdiness and flexibility.

3. Sand and Prep: Before diving into your project, we suggest you lightly sand the edges and surfaces of your MDF blanks to ensure a smooth, polished finish. Apply a MDF sealer. This step will help your paint adhere better and give your project a professional look.

4. Design and Cut: If you have a specific design in mind, you can either draw it directly onto the MDF blank or use a template - or let us know and we can simply cut it out for you.

5. Paint and Decorate: Once your MDF blank is prepared and cut, you can start painting and decorating. Acrylic paints work wonderfully on MDF. Let your creativity shine, experiment with different color palettes, and add textures or stencils for added depth and dimension.
