Wooden alien head – plywood cutout for crafts

A themed party is coming up. Or the children's room needs a bit of outer space. Or your craft table is still missing the right motif – and you want a shape that puts everyone in a good mood straight away. This wooden alien head is made for exactly that. It's a clear plywood silhouette, untreated and ready for your colours and ideas. In just a few steps, the plain wooden head becomes the decoration you have in your head.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away. The wood comes untreated in its natural state and takes paint well.
• Your motif will always suit your project, from a small hanging tag to a large wall picture. You can choose any height from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• No cutting or sanding needed. The laser-cut edges are smooth and clean. They have the typical brown rim, which gives the silhouette extra definition.
• You can supply larger craft groups without extra effort. Order the alien head individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You get clean workmanship from our own production in Pößneck. Every piece is made there in Thuringia.

Why this alien head makes a difference day to day

A ready-made cutout takes care of the hardest part of crafting: the sawing. You can focus on the fun part – designing, painting, decorating. And you still have a precise, even shape in your hands. So a spontaneous idea one afternoon turns into a decoration that really looks the part. Use it in the window, on the wall or as a little surprise at your guests' places.

Material & finish

The alien head is made of 3 mm plywood. It is light and sits comfortably in your hand. It is sturdy enough to hang up, glue on and work with further. The laser cut gives smooth edges without splinters. The brown rim is typical of the cut and intentional. The wood is untreated, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, cover it or oil it, just as your project needs. As a natural material, every piece has its own shade and grain, small knots included. That makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the alien head

• At a space-themed children's party: each child paints their own alien head. At the end, they take home a keepsake they designed themselves.
• As a garland for the party window: thread several sizes onto a string, alien head to head. The room instantly has a sci-fi feel.
• In the children's room: painted in neon colours and hung on the wall, the simple wooden shape sits above the bed.
• For school, after-school club or youth club: a set of 25, 50 or 100 pieces covers a whole group. Everyone gets the same shape, yet every result turns out different.
• In a shop or café for a theme week: spread a few large cutouts around the window display. It's quick to set up and gets customers talking.

Good to know about the alien head

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or cover the alien head? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, covered, oiled or decorated in other ways.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The alien head is laser-cut. The brown edge forms during cutting. It is typical of this process and highlights the outline.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is identical on all of them. The wood itself is a natural material, though. Shade, grain and small knots vary and make every piece one of a kind.

How wide is the alien head? The width depends on the height you choose. For example, at a height of 10 cm it is 8.5 cm wide.

A wooden cutout is only the starting point. What counts is the moment the children proudly hold up their brightly painted aliens. Or when your guests grin as they look at the window. Just choose your height and quantity and get started.
