FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Creativ Wood Cup?
The cup has a height of 6 cm and a diameter of 5.5 cm.
How many cups are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 12 wood veneer cups.
Can I paint these wood cups?
Yes, the light wood veneer surface is ideal for painting with acrylics, craft paints, and markers.
Are these cups safe for food or drinks?
No, these cups are intended for decorative and craft purposes only and are not food-safe. They should not be used for direct contact with food or beverages.
How should I clean the cups?
Wipe them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid immersing them in water.
Can I use a woodburning tool on these cups?
Yes, you can use a woodburning tool to create designs, but be cautious as the veneer is thin and can burn through easily.
What should I do if the cups are stuck together?
Gently twist each cup as you try to separate them. Avoid pulling forcefully to prevent damage to the veneer.
Troubleshooting
Veneer edges are chipping during separation.
Gently twist each cup slightly as you pull them apart. If stacking is frequent, consider storing them individually or with protective material between each cup.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust. Lightly sanding the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (220 grit or higher) can improve paint adhesion. Apply a primer specifically designed for wood if needed.
Woodburning results are uneven.
Practice on a scrap piece first. Use a low-to-medium heat setting and move the tool steadily. The thinness of the veneer means it can burn through quickly if too much heat or pressure is applied.
Glue is seeping through the veneer.
Use a small amount of glue and apply it to the embellishment rather than directly to the cup. For structural applications, ensure glue is applied to the base surfaces only and allow adequate drying time.

Compatibility: The light wood veneer is compatible with a wide range of craft materials including acrylic paints, markers, glue, glitter, sequins, rhinestones, and woodburning tools. It is not recommended for food or beverage storage without appropriate sealing.
Care:
