Pretzel silhouette in plywood – untreated, 5–50 cm

Your guests are about to arrive and the table is laid. Just one detail is missing – the one that turns a simple snack into a small celebration. A wooden pretzel silhouette at each place, on the buffet or in the shop window brings in exactly that warmth. The wooden pretzel V1 is untreated. It's just waiting for you to paint it, stick things on it or use it plain as decoration – as if made for your next snack get-together.

What changes for you

• You can design it however you like – the plywood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on it, varnish it or oil it.
• Your decorations look neat without any extra finishing – thanks to the smooth laser-cut edges with their typical brown rim.
• You'll find the right size for every idea – from small table scatter on the coffee table to large shop window displays. Choose from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Larger projects are easy to kit out too – you can order the pretzel singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding an honest natural product – made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden pretzel makes a difference every day

A lovingly decorated table or counter tells a story straight away. And few motifs stand for cosiness, craftsmanship and good food like the pretzel does. Instead of generic shop-bought decorations, you use a motif you designed yourself to suit your occasion. That way you create your Oktoberfest table, your bakery counter or your craft afternoon with the kids yourself. And you match the motif exactly to your occasion.

Material & finish

The pretzel is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives smooth, clean edges that don't splinter. They feel pleasant in your hand, and the pretzel is ready to use without sanding. The fine brown rim comes from the laser cutting and emphasises the natural look of the wood. The wood is left untreated, not varnished or glazed. Paint, glue and oils adhere to it reliably. As a purely natural material, each piece shows its own grain, small knots and varying shades. That's not a flaw – it's what makes every pretzel one of a kind.

How to use the wooden pretzel

• On the coffee table: small pretzels as table scatter next to cups and plates – your table looks lovingly laid with little effort.
• In bakeries and cafés: large pretzel silhouettes in the shop window or on the counter show from outside what's waiting inside. They're quick to set up and easy to redesign each season.
• Crafting with children: everyone paints their own pretzel – and in the end a colourful garland full of one-of-a-kind pieces hangs in the kitchen.
• As a gift tag: a small pretzel with writing on it, attached to a bread basket or a guest gift – a personal gesture that people remember.

Good to know about the pretzel

For centuries, the pretzel has been the guild sign of bakers. To this day it hangs as a symbol above many bakehouses. That's exactly why it works so well as a decorative motif. It instantly stands for fresh baking and hospitality – in your bakery window, at a market stall or on the snack table at home.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply wipe it with a dry cloth or dust it, and the pretzel will stay looking good for a long time. As the wood is untreated, avoid prolonged moisture. Or paint or oil the surface to your liking if you want extra protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden pretzel or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, glued or oiled – paint and glue adhere well to the natural surface.

Are the edges smooth, or do I need to sand them? The pretzel is laser-cut and has smooth edges with the typical brown rim – you can get started straight away.

Why do the pretzels look different from each other? Wood is a natural material: grain, shade and small knots vary from piece to piece. That's exactly what makes every pretzel one of a kind.

How big is the pretzel at a given width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6 cm. The other sizes are in proportion.
