St Bernard V1 in wood – silhouette for crafts, 5–50 cm

Your door wreath is almost finished. Paints and ribbons are spread across the table. All that's missing is a motif that really suits you. With this wooden St Bernard silhouette, you bring the loyal four-legged friend home as a blank. It is untreated, cleanly laser-cut and ready for your ideas – made for your craft table. A plain cutout becomes a hanging decoration, a table scatter piece or a small gift that you have painted, decorated or lettered yourself.

What changes for you

• You design the motif just the way you like it – because the plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated or oiled.
• You get exactly the size your project needs – thanks to widths from 5 to 50 cm, selectable in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away, with no sanding – because the laser cut gives smooth edges and a clean outline.
• You have a rewarding motif for crafting with children – because the St Bernard is recognisable at a glance and goes well with other animal motifs.
• You can plan bigger projects without stress – because the cutout is available individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this St Bernard silhouette makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A motif you design yourself tells a little story. On a gift for a dog lover, on the wreath at your front door or as table scatter on a birthday table: the clear dog silhouette makes your decorations your own. And because the wood is untreated, you decide whether it stays rustic and natural or becomes colourful.

Material & finish

The St Bernard is cut from 3 mm plywood using a laser. This gives a precise outline and smooth edges that won't bother you while crafting. The wood is untreated, so paint, glue and oil adhere well. As a natural material, each piece varies in shade. It may show small irregularities or knots in the grain. This makes every cutout unique – it is not a flaw. Every piece is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden St Bernard

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own dog – and in the end a whole colourful dog family hangs in the window.
• As a gift tag: a little St Bernard on a ribbon, plus the recipient's name – and the parcel for the dog lover feels personal before it's even unwrapped.
• Crafting money gifts: the dog holds the banknote in its mouth or sits on the envelope – and a plain envelope becomes something people notice straight away.
• On a door wreath or in Christmas decorations: among twigs and cones, the silhouette adds a calm, natural motif – left natural or painted white.
• In a shop or dog grooming salon: several sizes arranged in steps in the shop window – and your customers recognise the theme from the street.

Good to know about the St Bernard

The St Bernard owes its name to the hospice on the Great St Bernard Pass in the Alps. The dogs were once used there as rescue dogs. To this day, the breed is a symbol of loyalty and helpfulness. That is why the motif works so well as a small gift for dog owners, as decoration for a dog club or as a kind greeting to an animal lover.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do: simply dust it off with a dry cloth when needed. As the plywood is untreated, you should avoid constant moisture. Indoors, the silhouette will then stay looking good for a long time. If you oil or varnish it, you protect the surface even more and give it your own shade.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the St Bernard or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is natural and untreated – paint, glue and oil adhere well to the surface.

How tall is the figure at a given width? The height depends on the width: at 10 cm wide, the silhouette is 7.5 cm tall. Other sizes follow the same proportions.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is always identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in shade and may show small knots – every piece is unique.

Do I need to sand the edges? No. Thanks to the laser cut, the edges are smooth and the outline is clean, so you can start designing straight away.

Picture the moment when someone holds the gift with the little St Bernard. They smile because you thought of them. Simply choose your size and quantity – you design the rest.
