Map of Germany in cardboard – cutout for crafts

Your craft afternoon is planned and the paints are ready. Now you need a shape that offers more than stars and hearts. This cardboard cutout gives you the outline of Germany, already laser-cut. You can start painting, sticking or decorating straight away. Wall decoration, a school project or your next country-themed evening: the outline of Germany is made for your next craft idea.

What changes for you

• No more tedious cutting by hand. The outline of Germany is cleanly laser-cut and ready to use.
• Your paints go straight onto the surface. The board is untreated, so you can paint, stick, coat or varnish it.
• You will find the right size for every project. The height can be chosen from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your finished piece stays flat instead of warping. That is down to the sturdy solid board in bookbinding quality, 1.2 mm thick.
• You can craft with a clear conscience. The board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this Germany cutout makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made country outline takes care of the most time-consuming part of the preparation. You don’t need to print and cut out templates. You go straight to the fun part: decorating. A school presentation gets a clear map of Germany. A party gets table decorations in the shape of Germany. And an afternoon of crafts with children ends with something you’ll want to hang up. You save time and still get a shape with clean, even edges.

Material & finish

The sturdy bookbinding board feels solid in your hand. It doesn’t warp as easily as thin card while you work. The surface is smooth. The laser leaves the edges brown. This gives a natural contrast that looks good even unpainted. Because the board is untreated, glue and paint adhere reliably. Every cutout is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the Germany cutout

• Crafts with children: each child paints their own outline. At the end, a colourful gallery of little maps of Germany hangs in the children’s room.
• School projects: paint in the federal states, mark cities, add little flags. Your presentation gets a visual aid people will remember.
• Wall decoration: a large 50 cm cutout, painted in your favourite colour. Suddenly the empty hallway wall tells a story.
• Club parties or country-themed evenings: place several outlines on the tables and the buffet. Everyone sees the theme of the evening at a glance.
• Cards and gifts: stick a small outline onto a greetings card or gift wrap. A simple card becomes a personal greeting, for example for a birthday, wedding or Valentine’s Day.
• In shops or cafés: write on the outline with a chalk pen. It becomes a sign for regional products. Quick to set up and neatly presented.

Good to know about bookbinding board

Bookbinding board is the material traditionally used for rigid book covers. It is designed to stay flat for years. That makes it a reliable base for crafts too. Your painted outline of Germany stays flat on the wall instead of warping over time.

Care & durability

There isn’t much to do. Store the board in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture, as the material is untreated. Varnishing or painting the cutout makes the surface more resistant. That way your decoration will look good for a long time.
