A few swallows above the window frame, a small flock on the door in spring – and the room instantly feels lighter. That is exactly what this flying wooden swallow is made for. It is a laser-cut plywood silhouette. You can paint it, decorate it or simply hang it up in its natural finish. It is ideal for your next craft project.

Why this wooden swallow makes a difference every day

A flying swallow brings movement to any decoration. On a wall, door or window, it looks as if spring has just moved in. The silhouette is simple, so it never feels too much. It goes with what you already have and doesn't cover up other pieces. Arrange several wooden swallows as a flock, and with little effort you get a wall display that brings a little lightness every day.

Material & finish

The wooden swallow is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This creates smooth, clean edges with the typical brown rim. This fine detail gives the silhouette extra definition. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glue and oils stick directly, without any sanding. As a natural material, every piece is one of a kind. Small differences in shade and grain, as well as the occasional knot, are part of the natural wood.

How to use the wooden swallow

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own swallow – and in the end a colourful flock hangs in the nursery window.
• For spring decorations: arrange several sizes in a staggered pattern on a wall or door – and the hallway instantly looks brighter and livelier.
• In a mobile or window picture: tie the light silhouettes to fine threads. Your mobile will then move with every breeze like a real flock.
• As a gift tag or on cards: glue on or tie on a small 3 cm swallow – and your gift has an individual wooden detail.
• In a café, shop or at the weekly market: with a flock of swallows in the shop window or above the counter, your spring decorations are up in no time. The sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 are enough for large areas too.

Good to know about the swallow

The swallow has long been seen as a herald of spring and a bringer of luck. There's a reason for the saying “One swallow does not make a summer”. It returns to its nest every year, so it also stands for home and homecoming. That makes the wooden swallow a fitting motif for spring decorations, as well as for cards and small housewarming gifts.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do: keep the swallow dry and protect it from constant moisture. The untreated plywood will then keep its shape and look good for a long time. If you like, paint or oil the surface. This seals the wood and gives it a different look and feel.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the swallow or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed – paints, oils and glue stick directly to the surface.

Why does the swallow have a brown edge? The silhouette is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim along the edges. It also makes the edges smooth and clean.

How tall is the swallow at my chosen width? The height depends on the width. For example, at a width of 10 cm the height is 7.5 cm.

Are colour differences in the wood normal? Yes. Wood is a natural material and always varies in shade. Small knots or irregularities in the grain can occur. This is exactly what makes every piece one of a kind.
