Plywood apple tree to paint & craft, 5–50 cm

The craft table is ready, the paints are out – all that's missing is a motif that little hands and grown-ups alike love to pick up. This wooden apple tree in plywood is made for exactly that: a classic deciduous tree silhouette with a round crown that you can paint, decorate or simply display in its natural state. Whether you want to paint and design your own apple tree or you're looking for a ready-made apple tree decoration for your window or table – this simple cutout quickly becomes a piece that's all your own.

What changes for you

• You'll find exactly the right size for your project – because the apple tree can be ordered from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start creating straight away, with no sanding needed first – thanks to smooth, laser-cut edges and a clean finish.
• Your paints, glues and oils hold reliably – because the wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed.
• You can easily supply larger craft groups too – with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces for nursery, school or club events.
• You get a piece from our own production, made by Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden apple tree makes a difference every day

A motif made of natural material looks different from printed cardboard. The grain of the plywood stays visible. The surface is smooth and slightly rough at the same time. As apple tree decor, the silhouette brings a bit of the garden into your home. Place it on the windowsill or in your door wreath, or use it as table scatter on a laid table. And if you decorate it yourself, you end up holding something that exists only once.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm plywood and feels light and pleasant in the hand. Laser cutting creates the typical brown edge – it neatly traces the outline and gives the motif depth. The surface is untreated and takes paint, glue or oil well. Wood is a purely natural material: shade and grain vary, and small knots may occur – which is exactly what makes every piece unique.

How to use the apple tree cutout

• At a craft afternoon: every child paints their own apple tree – and proudly takes home a work of art they designed themselves.
• In autumn: scatter a few small trees across the table – and you'll feel the harvest season indoors too.
• In the window: hung up as a window decoration, the silhouette stands out against the light and welcomes everyone who comes in.
• In a farm shop or at the weekly market: the tree marks the apple crate or juice stand – your customers recognise what's on offer at a glance.

Good to know about the apple tree

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would end, I would still plant a little apple tree today” – this well-known saying is attributed to Martin Luther and makes the apple tree a symbol of hope and new beginnings. That's why the motif suits not only autumn and garden decorations, but also a birth, christening, first day at school or any fresh start you'd like to celebrate.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the cutout in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture – untreated wood will reward you by looking lovely for a long time. If you paint or oil the motif, you'll give the surface extra protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the apple tree? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed – paints, glues and oils adhere directly to the surface.

Where does the brown edge come from? The cutout is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge – it's part of the process and emphasises the outline of the motif.

How wide is the tree at my chosen height? The proportions stay the same: at 10 cm high, the tree is 8 cm wide. From this you can work out the width for any other height.

Do all the cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite: as a natural material it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are normal. This isn't a defect – it makes every piece unique.

Is the wood suitable for outdoor use? The cutout is untreated and should be protected from constant moisture. Outdoors, we recommend a sheltered spot or an opaque coat of paint.

In the end, it's not about a piece of plywood. It's about the moment a simple cutout becomes your own little creation – painted, given as a gift or lovingly placed on the windowsill. Just choose your size and quantity, and the rest is up to you.
