Which material is suitable for making a photo wall with a head hole?

I want to make a wall with a peephole that you can stick your head through. The wall should be approximately 180×120 mm in size. What material is suitable for this? What can be painted, certainly with (but preferably not too much) pre-treatment? What material is stable enough even when placed on feet? Where is a good place to cut out a hole? And ideally, what isn't too expensive?

I've thought about OSB or MDF, but I'm not sure how suitable these materials are.

approx. 180×120 mm

Eighteen times twelve ZENTIMETER could be a little small. There’s a child’s head disappearing. You certainly mean centimeters as a unit of measure…

Almost any wood material with at least 16mm thickness should be suitable. However, I recommend one or two back supports to be windproof.

Take a material that already has a fairly flat surface, because you can paint more easily. White wall color or rough-fiber wallpaper are often the simplest paintings.

From here I wish a lot of fun and a good success.

OSB goes, MDF is too expensive and useless. I haven’t touched it yet, perhaps you have to clear a layer of white or apply a primer to prevent the structure from passing through. If you want to avoid this, take plywood.

Where you saw the hole, you’re left. The question is pointless.

If nothing is allowed to cost, cuck under classifieds after furniture to be dispensed and find something nearby that contains a large continuous plate. You just have to go pick up. If, however, this is a chipboard, then the question is which color on the coating probably holds.
