Why this grey butterfly makes a difference every day

Grey butterflies are the quiet alternative to bright spring decorations. They bring movement and lightness into a room without taking centre stage. On the window, on the laid table or on a garland, the result looks tidy and lovingly made at the same time. And because the tone is so understated, you can use the motifs all year round, not just in spring.

Material & finish

Each butterfly is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives smooth, precise edges with the typical brown rim, which outlines the motif finely. The grey stain on the front is applied with care. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots still show through. This makes every piece one of a kind, because wood is a natural material with its own character. The back is left natural and untreated, so you can decorate it yourself if you like. Every cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the grey butterflies

• On the window in spring: hang up a few butterflies in different sizes. Looking outside, it seems as if the first butterfly has already arrived.
• On the laid table: place a small grey butterfly at each setting. Your guests will spot the detail before the food is even on the table.
• Crafting with children: the natural back is ready to be decorated. As the stain meets DIN EN 71-3, you can let the little ones get on with it in peace.
• For cards and gifts: stick on or tie on a motif. A plain parcel becomes a lovingly decorated greeting.
• As a garland for a party or shop window: thread several sizes onto a string. In a café, a shop or at the weekly market, you'll have a seasonal decoration in just a few minutes. You can reuse it every year.

Good to know about the butterfly

The butterfly has always stood for change and new beginnings. Hardly any motif is so naturally linked with spring. That's why it suits not only seasonal decorations but also occasions where something new begins: christenings, First Communion, weddings or starting school.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply dust them with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant damp and wet, as the back is untreated. That way the shape and colour stay looking good for a long time. You'll enjoy your decorations for many seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Is the grey stain suitable for crafting with children? Yes, it meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3. So it is also suitable for crafting with children.

Are both sides grey? No, only the front is stained. The back is left natural and untreated. That's ideal if you want to decorate or write on it yourself.

Why can I partly see the grain through the colour? Depending on the light, the stain lets the grain and small knots show. Wood is a natural material with varying textures. This is not a defect – it makes every piece unique.

Where does the brown rim on the edges come from? The butterflies are laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which gives the motif a clean, clear outline.

Picture the moment you step back from the window and look at the butterflies in the light. That's when you notice: spring has arrived indoors too. Just choose your size and quantity – you design the rest.
