Alpaca V1 wooden craft decoration – silhouette 3–50 cm

The craft table is set, the paints are ready – all that's missing is a motif that delights children and grown-ups alike. This wooden alpaca decoration is made for exactly that: a laser-cut plywood silhouette, untreated and ready for your ideas – just right for your next afternoon of crafting. Painted, decorated or left natural: this blank cutout becomes your very own personal piece.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away with painting, sticking or oiling – because the wood is untreated and takes colour well.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from table scatter to a large single piece. You can choose any height from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can relax while crafting, even with children – because the laser-cut edges are smooth and nothing needs sanding.
• You save yourself ordering pieces one by one for bigger projects – with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, for a children's birthday party or shop decorations, for example.
• You're holding a genuine piece of handcraft. It's made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden alpaca makes a difference every day

A ready-made decoration always looks the same – a wooden blank, on the other hand, becomes whatever you make of it. With its clear silhouette and the typical brown laser edge, the alpaca brings warmth to cards, wreaths or the windowsill even unpainted. And when you decorate it, you create something truly one of a kind – from a lovingly painted gift tag to a large motif in the shop window.

Material & finish

The alpaca is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood, which gives it smooth edges and the characteristic brown rim – you can pick it up and start working with it right away. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed, so you can paint, oil or decorate it just as you like. Wood is a purely natural material: each silhouette varies in shade, and small knots or differences in the grain are normal – that's exactly what makes every piece unique. Made in Thuringia, Germany.

How to use your wooden alpaca

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own alpaca – and at the end of the afternoon, everyone takes a little work of art home.
• Making cards: stick a small silhouette onto birthday or Christmas cards – and a simple card becomes a greeting with character.
• For Christmas crafting: hang the light wood motif on a wreath or branch. It adds another focal point to your home.
• Gift wrapping: small sizes work well as table scatter on the birthday table or as gift tags – for a children's birthday party, for example.
• Our tip for combining: Glue the alpaca silhouette onto wood slices, cards or wreaths. In just a few steps, you get a decoration with three-dimensional depth.
• In your business: large silhouettes up to 50 cm set a motif theme in the shop window, café or market stall that customers notice as they pass by.

Good to know about alpacas

Alpacas come from the Andes in South America and are known as particularly gentle, calm animals – which is exactly why the motif is so popular for children's rooms, greeting cards and thoughtful gifts. And because the silhouette also passes as a llama, it suits anyone who prefers this related trendy animal.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the untreated wood in a dry place and keep it away from prolonged moisture, and it will keep its natural look for a long time. If you oil or varnish it, you give the surface extra protection and bring out the grain.

• Choose your height: 3 cm to 50 cm, in 1 cm steps

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the alpaca? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, oiled, decorated or customised in other ways.

Why does the silhouette have a brown edge? The alpaca is laser-cut – the brown edge forms naturally in the process and is part of the typical look of these cutouts.

Do all the alpacas look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood isn't: as a natural material, it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are possible. Every piece is unique.

How wide is the alpaca? The width depends on the height you choose: at a height of 10 cm, for example, it is 9.5 cm.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the moment a blank silhouette becomes your motif – painted at the kitchen table, given to someone you love or lovingly displayed in the shop window. Simply choose your size and quantity – and get started.
