Wooden alpaca in grass – craft cutout, 5–50 cm

The craft table is ready. Brushes and paints are laid out. All that's missing is a motif that makes children's eyes light up. This wooden cutout of an alpaca in grass is made for your next crafting afternoon. It's a carefully laser-cut animal silhouette made of poplar plywood. You can paint it, decorate it or simply leave it natural. That way, a free afternoon turns into a little project everyone is proud of.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, oiling or decorating straight away. The wood is untreated and takes paint well.
• Your motif fits your project exactly, from table scatter to door sign. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can craft with children without worry. The laser-cut edges are smooth and don't need sanding.
• You can supply whole groups or parties with no extra effort. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.
• You get a cleanly finished piece. It is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

A ready-made wooden motif takes care of the hardest part for you: the shape. You don't need to draw or saw anything. You can focus entirely on decorating it – on your own, with children or in a craft group. And because the alpaca is already standing in the grass, it looks like a little picture straight away. That works on cards, on gifts or on a shelf.

Material & finish

The alpaca is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that neatly traces the silhouette. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. You'll notice that as soon as you pick it up. The wood is left natural, with no paint or varnish. You decide whether to paint it, oil it, decorate it or keep its light natural colour. Wood is a natural material. Every piece has its own grain, small knots and differences in shade. This isn't a flaw. It's exactly what makes each piece unique.

How to use your wooden alpaca

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own alpaca. In the end, a whole colourful herd stands on the table.
• Making money gifts: stick the motif onto the packaging or tie it to the ribbon. That turns a plain envelope into a personal gift.
• In the children's room: a large alpaca, 40 or 50 cm wide, as wall decoration or name sign. It gives the door a friendly face.
• On the birthday table or buffet: small alpacas as table scatter between plates and napkins. Your guests will spot them before the first bite.
• For nurseries, schools or craft classes: with the set of 25, 50 or 100, you have enough blanks for every group. No sawing or sanding needed.
• Our tip: Are you actually looking for a llama motif? You can use this animal shape for that just as well – for example as table scatter or to stick onto cards and gifts.

Good to know about alpacas

The alpaca originally comes from the Andes in South America. It is seen as a symbol of gentleness and calm. That's why it's such a popular motif. You'll find it on greeting cards, in children's rooms and wherever decoration should look friendly and relaxed.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated wood dry and away from constant moisture. Then it will keep its shape and light natural colour for a long time. If you paint or oil it, the surface also gets a lasting finish.

• Choose any width: 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the alpaca? Yes. The wood is untreated. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or decorate it in other ways.

Where does the dark edge come from? The motif is laser-cut. The brown edge is typical of this cut and neatly traces the silhouette.

How tall is the motif at a given width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 9.5 cm. Height and width scale in the same proportion.

Why do the cutouts look slightly different? Wood is a natural material. Differences in shade, grain and small knots are normal and make every piece unique.

A wooden cutout is only the starting point. What matters is the moment your hand-painted alpaca hangs on a gift or stands on a shelf. And someone smiles because it was made by hand. Just choose your width and quantity. You'll do the rest with a brush and your imagination.
