Why this wooden cutout makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations are everywhere. A motif you've designed yourself tells a story about you and your occasion. The basketball player puts the ball sports theme clearly on the table, on the wall or on the gift. You won't need to search for long or improvise. Your party looks lovingly prepared. And crafting with children turns into a cosy afternoon along the way.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That's why the edges are smooth and have the typical brown rim, which gives the motif a clear outline. The wood is untreated. It is not varnished or glazed, so it takes paint and glue well. Wood is a natural material and is never completely uniform. Different shades, fine structures in the grain or small knots are normal and not a defect. This is exactly what makes each piece unique. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• Crafting with children at home: get the paints out and hand out the figures. The afternoon is filled, with no lengthy preparation.

Good to know about basketball

Basketball was invented in 1891 by PE teacher James Naismith. At first, simple peach baskets were used as goals. Today it is one of the most popular ball sports in the world. That's exactly why the motif goes down so well at tournaments, club parties and young fans' birthdays.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. As the wood is untreated, it's best kept indoors in a dry place. Avoid constant moisture. That way your motif keeps its shape and looks good for a long time. If you want to use it outdoors, coat or oil it first.
