Product Information
Full details
This 3D wooden frame by Creativ is designed for crafters looking to add depth and dimension to their projects. Its key benefit is providing a versatile structure for layered art, dioramas, and shadow boxes. A potential caveat is that the unfinished wood requires pre-treatment before use if a specific aesthetic is desired. It features a clear glass front, a removable inner wooden box, and smooth, unfinished wood, making it ideal for 3D paper art, collage, mixed media, memory boxes, and botanical displays.

Troubleshooting
Frame is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all internal elements are securely adhered. Check if the frame is placed on an even surface. If the frame itself has structural issues, contact customer support.
Glass is smudged or dirty.
Carefully remove the glass (if possible without disturbing the artwork) and clean with a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Reinsert carefully.
Adhesives are not holding elements in place.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use an adhesive appropriate for both the frame's wood and your crafting materials. Consider using stronger mounting options like hot glue or epoxy for heavier items.
Wood finish is uneven after painting/staining.
Ensure the wood surface was clean and free of dust before applying any finish. Lightly sand the surface before applying the first coat and allow adequate drying time between coats.
