This kit contains materials that have been cut into a shape that is easy to make. First, think of the silhouette you want to make, draft it on the main body with a pencil, and create it with a utility knife. The tip can be sharpened or rounded, the handle can be made thinner or thicker, and the shape to be made is free and there is no correct answer. Once you get the shape you want, polish the three included sandpapers in descending order until the surface is smooth. When the surface is smooth, beeswax is finally applied to complete the process.
