You may finish the wood naturally, using Mineral Oil and Shellac Spray to seal the wood, or you can use acrylic paints and DecoArt Gel Staining Medium, which is found at most Michael’s, craft stores, or anywhere that DecoArt products are sold.

Of course you can finish these in any color you wish – red and green for Christmas or any other color that will suit your taste.
