Crafting with kids – wooden alpaca V2, choose 5–50 cm

A children's birthday party, a crafty afternoon or your next themed party – and you're still missing a motif that delights kids and grown-ups alike? This wooden alpaca cutout is made for your craft table: a clear plywood silhouette you can paint, decorate with stick-ons or simply use just as it is. It's an easy way to turn the idea in your head into something you can see.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away without any sawing – because your alpaca arrives ready laser-cut with smooth edges.
• Your decorations look lovingly made rather than run-of-the-mill – thanks to the face and contours finely scored into the surface.
• You'll find the right size for every project – from 5 cm for gift tags to 50 cm for window decorations, selectable in 1 cm steps.
• You can design it just the way you like – because the wood is untreated and can be painted, oiled or decorated with stick-ons.
• Planning bigger projects is stress-free – the motif is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

Whether you're crafting with children, preparing table decorations or making a gift: a ready-made blank takes care of the most time-consuming step for you. You focus on the creative part – and in the end you have a motif that looks warm and natural rather than plasticky. The shape also closely resembles a llama, so you can use the cutout for anything llama-themed, too.

Material & finish

The alpaca is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif with a fine contour. The top side shows the laser-cut contour. The underside stays natural, which is ideal if you want to decorate it yourself. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, with clean, careful finishing. Wood is a purely natural material, so every grain pattern turns out a little different. Variations in shade and small knots are not a flaw. They make every piece one of a kind.

How to use your wooden alpaca

• Crafting with children: every child paints their own alpaca – and proudly takes home a keepsake they've made themselves.
• For money gifts: stick a small alpaca on the card – and a banknote becomes a gift to remember.
• As table and window decoration: put small sizes on the festive table and a large motif in the window. That way, the alpaca theme repeats in different sizes throughout the whole room.
• In a café, shop or at a market stall: painted alpacas in your window or counter display draw attention to your goods – quick to set up and reusable as often as you like.
• For llama-themed parties: since the silhouette also passes for a llama, one cutout covers two popular motifs.

Good to know about alpacas

Alpacas come from the Andes in South America, and many people see them as a symbol of calm and gentleness. That's exactly why the motif is so popular for children's birthdays, greetings cards and little gifts of encouragement – an animal that simply spreads good cheer.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: keep the untreated cutout dry and avoid prolonged moisture, and the wood will keep its natural look for a long time. If you'd like to use it outdoors or in damp rooms, a coat of paint or oil will protect the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the alpaca or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, oiled, decorated with stick-ons or embellished however you like.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The motif is laser-cut – the brown edge forms quite naturally in the process and emphasises the outline.

Are both sides designed? No, the scored contours with the face are on the top; the underside is left natural and free for your own design.

Do all the cutouts look the same? The shape is always identical, but the wood isn't: as a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and small knots – every piece is one of a kind.

How wide is the alpaca? The width depends on the height: at 10 cm high, the cutout measures 6 cm wide.

In the end, it's not about a piece of plywood. It's about the afternoon spent painting and gluing at the kitchen table – and the smiles when the finished alpaca finds its place. Simply choose your size and quantity, and you design the rest.
