MDF shapes for painting and decorating
MDF shapes are the ideal surface for creative DIY projects. These natural wooden shapes have a smooth, even surface and can be decorated to your heart's content with acrylic paint, markers, felt-tip pens, masking tape, or decoupage. In the Swiss craft shop I AM CREATIVE, you will find a large selection of MDF decorationsfor every season and occasion, conveniently ordered online and shipped within Switzerland.
What is MDF?
MDF stands for "medium-density fibreboard," a wood material made from finely shredded wood fibres pressed into boards. Unlike solid wood, MDF has no grain and no knots. The surface therefore absorbs paint very evenly, and the cleanly cut contours ensure that even intricate motifs are clearly displayed.

Ideas: How to decorate MDF shapes
For a particularly even result, prime the shape first with white acrylic paint. Once dry, you can paint, dab, decorate with glitter, rhinestones, or washi tape, or apply motifs using decoupage. Shapes with a hole are suitable as pendants for windows, Christmas trees, or gifts; larger motifs make great table decorations or door signs. With letters and numbers, you can create personalized name tags, birthday decorations, or keepsakes for births and christenings.
MDF decorations for children, schools, and daycare centers
MDF shapes are light, sturdy, and easy to paint. This makes them very popular for children's birthday parties, craft afternoons, in kindergarten, and at school. Seasonal motifs are perfect for craft activities around Halloween and the Advent season.
