Gold wooden puzzle piece – plywood cutout for crafts

Making a money gift, decorating an Advent calendar or dressing the festive table – sometimes you're missing exactly the one piece that holds it all together. This puzzle piece in gold-coloured wood adds a touch of shine to your craft idea. It's made for your next gift. Simply choose the size that suits your project – from small and delicate to large and bold.

What changes for you

• You can add it to your decorations without painting it yourself. The gold glaze is already applied. Depending on the light, the wood grain even shows through.
• You can craft with children. The glaze meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• You design the back just the way you like. It is left natural and untreated, so it is ready for painting, writing on or sticking things to.
• Your project really fits in the end. You choose the size yourself, from 5x5 cm to 50x50 cm in 1 cm steps. Every piece can be ordered individually.
• You work with clean, accurately sized pieces. Laser cutting gives smooth edges that need no finishing.

Why this gold puzzle piece makes a difference in everyday life

A gold puzzle piece stands out without being loud. The shimmer on wood looks clearly different from card or plastic. Use it as part of a money gift, as a place name card or as wall art made of several pieces. The motif speaks of togetherness. It tells of someone who has found exactly the right piece. So a simple cutout becomes a small message that gets through.

Material & finish

The puzzle piece is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it smooth, accurate edges and the typical brown rim, which forms a fine contrast to the gold. The gold glaze on the front is applied with care. Depending on the light, you can still see the grain and small knots. Wood is a purely natural material. These differences in tone and texture make every piece unique. The back is deliberately left natural. Every piece is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about puzzles

The jigsaw puzzle goes back to the London mapmaker John Spilsbury. Around 1760, he cut maps mounted on wood into pieces to teach children geography. So wood and puzzles have belonged together from the very start. Today, a single puzzle piece symbolises togetherness and the perfect counterpart. That's exactly why it works so well for gifts for weddings, births, anniversaries or as a thank-you within a team.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Simply wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth. As the back is untreated, the piece is best kept in dry rooms. That way the gold shine lasts and the wood keeps its shape.
