Wooden blackbird silhouette – poplar plywood, 5–50 cm

There's still room on the windowsill. The craft table is set and the children are waiting with their brushes. That's when the wooden blackbird silhouette comes in handy. The untreated wooden cutout is a plain, natural base for your ideas. Paint it, decorate it, hang it up or simply lay it out as table scatter. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm. So the wooden blackbird suits your next craft project, from a small hanging ornament to a large window motif.

Why this wooden blackbird makes a difference every day

A wooden bird motif brings a quiet bit of nature into your home. Use it in the window, on a festive table or in a seasonal display. Instead of mass-produced decorations, you make something of your own. You design the blackbird exactly the way it suits your home. And if you craft with children, the clear silhouette is a shape that even beginners can manage.

Material & finish

The blackbird is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge, which traces the outline of the silhouette. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. So the cutout feels pleasant to the touch and you can work with it straight away. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, oil it, decorate it or use it as it is. Every blackbird is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. As a purely natural material, wood is never completely uniform. Differences in shade, fine grain and small knots are part of it and make every piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden blackbird

• Crafting with children: everyone paints their own bird. In the end, a whole colourful flock sits on the windowsill.
• As a window decoration: hung on a thread, the silhouette shows the typical blackbird shape against the light. It's understated and works in every season.
• As table scatter on a festive table: spread small blackbirds between the place settings. Your table shows a garden and nature theme before the first course.
• Making Christmas decorations: painted or decorated in gold, the blackbird becomes a hanging ornament for branches, gifts or an Advent wreath.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: large sizes mark seasonal themes in the shop window and on the counter. They are quick to set up, can be designed your way and can be reused again and again.

Good to know about the blackbird

The blackbird is one of the best-known and most popular garden birds in Germany. For many people, its song announces the arrival of spring. That's why the motif suits craft projects about gardens, nature and the seasons so well. Everyone recognises the shape at once, from nursery children to guests at a festive table.

Care & durability

You don't need to do much. Store the untreated blackbird in a dry place and it will keep its natural look for a long time. For damp conditions or outdoor use, we recommend painting or oiling the wood first. This keeps the surface protected.
