1 Pc, Medium 1/4 Inch Thick Illinois State Cutouts w/"Home" Great For Quick & Easy Project Making We have taken our popular wood state cutouts and have added an additional separate layer that consists of the states border with the word "Home" welded to the border. We made this project easy to paint the pieces separately and then glue them together when complete. Great for someone who wants a quick and easy project that will not require "expert" painting talent. We make this available in 1/8" or 1/4" thick Baltic Birch plywood. If you order this in 1/8" thick material, your total thickness will be 1/4" thick when complete. If you order this in 1/4" thickness, the total thickness will be 1/2" when complete. You can glue the pieces together when you paint the pieces. Or, you can paint the pieces separately and then glue the pieces together to make completed project. We found it much easier, faster, cleaner and to look better if you painted the pieces separately and then glued them together. You don't need special tools, blue painters tape will hold the pieces together while the glue is drying and won't rip the paint off of the surface of your pieces as long as they have dried completely.
