Gecko crafts – light green plywood gecko, 4–10 cm

The invitations are ready and the craft table is set. Now all you need is a motif that puts everyone in a good mood. This light green wooden gecko is made for your next craft afternoon. It is a small plywood figure you can use as a gecko, lizard or salamander. Use it to decorate, embellish or paint. That way a simple card, a window picture or a laid table becomes a finished craft project.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away without cutting anything. The gecko is laser-cut and arrives with smooth, precise edges.
• You can relax when crafting with children. The light green stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• Your decorations look lively rather than uniform. Depending on the light, the natural wood grain shimmers through the stain. Every piece is unique.
• You can design freely to suit your idea. The natural back can be painted, decorated with stickers or written on.
• You can plan quantities without guesswork. Choose from sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces and seven sizes.

Why this wooden gecko makes a difference

Ready-made plastic decorations often look interchangeable. A motif made of real wood brings a natural look to your designs. Use it as table scatter on the birthday table, on homemade cards or as a lizard in a window picture. The plywood gecko lies flat, is easy to glue on and sits well in your hand. It comes in different sizes, so you can arrange whole gecko families. Choose anything from the small 4 cm gecko to the 10 cm gecko.

Material & finish

The gecko is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine, brown burnt edge. The edge frames the motif neatly and keeps the outline sharp. The front has a light green stain. The back is left natural and untreated. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a natural material. Small knots, different shades and fine structures in the grain are part of it. That is what makes every gecko unique. No two pieces are the same.

Good to know about the gecko

In many southern countries the gecko is seen as a lucky charm and protector of the home. There you find it as a motif on house walls, doors and souvenirs. That is why the little wooden gecko also works as a lucky symbol on cards, as a guest gift or as a holiday memento with a Mediterranean feel.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. If needed, simply wipe it dry or dust it. The back is untreated, so the gecko is best kept in dry indoor rooms. Avoid constant moisture. Then the stain stays as fresh as on the first day for a long time.
