Maple leaf V1 wood – plywood silhouette for crafts

The days are getting shorter, the leaves outside are changing colour – and you'd love to bring that cosy autumn feeling indoors. With this wooden maple leaf, you have a silhouette you can design exactly the way you imagine: paint it, decorate it, hang it up or simply lay it out. Untreated and made in the size you choose, it's just right for your next craft idea.

What changes for you

• You can design the leaf exactly the way you like – because the plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated with stick-ons, varnished or oiled.
• Give your window, wreath or table a clear autumn motif. You don't have to cut anything out yourself. The maple leaf silhouette is cleanly laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• You'll find the right size for every idea, from a small table scatter leaf to a large single piece. You choose the width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can enjoy relaxed crafting with children, at the kitchen table or in a group – because the edges are smooth and every leaf is ready to use straight away.
• You can plan bigger projects without having to reorder – with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.

Why this wooden maple leaf makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere – a wooden blank, on the other hand, becomes something truly yours. You decide on the colour, finish and use, and in the end what hangs in your window or sits on your table is something nobody else has. Especially in autumn and at Christmas, this gives you decorations that feel calm and natural rather than loud and generic.

Material & finish

The maple leaf is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge. The edge traces the outline and gives the motif depth, with no extra finishing needed. The edges are smooth and the workmanship is clean. So you can start crafting straight away. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glue and oils adhere well, and you can still feel the natural surface. Wood is a natural material and is never completely uniform. Differences in shade, fine grain patterns and small knots are part of it. They make every leaf one of a kind. Every piece is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden maple leaf

• Crafting with children in the afternoon: each child paints their own leaf – and bit by bit, a colourful autumn forest appears in the window.
• For your autumn and Christmas decorations: small leaves as table scatter, large ones as a wall motif – and the room instantly feels in tune with the season.
• As a tag on a gift or Christmas card: a leaf with a handwritten message instead of a bow – and your parcel stands out from all the others.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: scatter a few leaves across the counter or in the shop window – and your seasonal display is ready in minutes, reusable year after year.
• For nurseries, schools or craft groups: with the set of 25, 50 or 100, everyone gets a blank of the same size – and you save yourself the cutting.

Good to know about the maple leaf

Hardly any leaf says autumn quite like the maple: its leaves turn vivid shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn, and as Canada's national symbol it even features on a national flag. That's exactly why the silhouette works so well as a decoration – it's recognised at a glance and brings the golden season into your home long before you pick up a brush.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the untreated wood in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture, and it will keep its shape and light look for years. If you'd like to protect the surface or add colour, you can paint or oil the leaf however you like.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the maple leaf? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed – you can paint it, stick things on it, varnish it or oil it.

Why does the leaf have a brown edge? The motif is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge along the outline – it's part of the cutting process and emphasises the shape.

Do all the leaves look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood isn't: as a natural material, it varies in shade and may show fine structures in the grain or small knots. That's exactly what makes every piece one of a kind.

Which sizes and quantities are available? You choose the width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps and order individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.

In the end, it's not about a piece of plywood. It's about the afternoon when a simple blank turns into your very own autumn decoration – painted, hung up and admired with pride. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
