Blue butterfly – wooden cutout for crafts, 3–50 cm

Spring is just around the corner. The windowsill is still waiting for a bit of colour. And this time, crafting with the kids should produce something you're really happy to show off. This is where the blue wooden butterfly comes in. The cutout is decorative on its own. At the same time, it leaves plenty of room for your own ideas – just right for your spring decorations. Hang one on its own in the window or a whole swarm on a garland. A simple afternoon turns into a small project you do together.

What changes for you

• You bring a fresh spring feel into the room straight away, without lots of crafting. The top is already stained a strong blue, and the butterfly arrives ready to use.
• You can craft with children without worry – the glaze meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• Your decorations go exactly where you need them. Wingspans range from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. So you'll find the right size, from a small butterfly for table scatter to a large shop window motif.
• You can paint or write on the natural back yourself. This turns the cutout into a place card, a gift tag or your own window decoration.
• You can plan larger projects without the hassle of reordering. The butterflies come singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden butterfly makes a difference every day

A butterfly in the window, on the wall or on the laid table changes the mood of a room straight away. It adds a light touch without being too much. Depending on the light, the wood grain shows through the blue. This makes the decoration look lively and natural rather than flat and generic. And if you're decorating a shop counter or window, the motifs tell your customers at a glance: spring has arrived.

Material & finish

The butterflies are laser cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives smooth edges and precise outlines. The typical brown laser edge is part of the cutout. The top has a blue stain. It is applied so that the grain and small knots can still show through, depending on the light. Wood is a purely natural material. These differences in texture and shade make every piece one of a kind. The back is left natural and untreated. You can paint it or stick things on it however you like. Every butterfly is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your butterfly

• For spring crafts with kids: everyone decorates the natural back with their own idea. In the end, a swarm made by the whole family hangs in the children's bedroom window.
• For the table at a christening, first communion or wedding: a small butterfly at every place. Your guests have something to take home before the first course.
• In the window or on a door wreath: combine several sizes for a lively window decoration. It looks just as good from outside as from inside.
• On a garland above the buffet: thread on different sizes. In just a few minutes you have a decoration for birthdays and garden parties.
• In a shop, café or at the bakery counter: large butterflies up to 50 cm in the shop window announce the new season. They're quick to put up, with no need to redo the whole display.
• As a gift tag or on money gifts: a small butterfly on the parcel. The present looks lovingly prepared rather than quickly wrapped.

Good to know about the butterfly

The butterfly has always stood for transformation and new beginnings. No wonder it's so closely linked with spring as a motif. That's why it suits seasonal window and table decorations. It also fits occasions that celebrate a new stage of life: christening, first communion, starting school or a wedding.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. An occasional dry dusting keeps the blue surface looking fresh for a long time. Avoid constant moisture, as the back is untreated. Used indoors, the butterfly will be with you for many springs.
