Wooden chilli pepper for crafts – chilli cutout V1, 3–50 cm

Your guests are about to arrive and the table is laid. But one small splash of colour is still missing to turn dinner into a Mediterranean evening. That is exactly what the wooden chilli V1 is made for. It is a laser-cut chilli silhouette made of plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply scatter it unpainted as table scatter. Use it as a chilli pepper in the kitchen or as a craft motif at the crafting table. With just a few steps, you make something that looks like you.

What changes for you

• You can design it however you like – because the wood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, coated or oiled.
• Your motif always fits your project. You can choose any size from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from small table scatter to a large wall piece.
• You save yourself the tedious sawing. The chilli arrives cleanly laser-cut with smooth edges. It is ready for crafting straight away.
• You can plan projects with children, for the kitchen or for your business without reordering. Simply order singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Your decoration gets a defined edge. The typical brown laser edge frames the silhouette. It gives the shape a clear, finished outline.

Why this wooden chilli makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout only becomes what it should be through your hands. Children can paint it in bright colours. You can oil it lightly for the windowsill. Or you use it as a recurring motif on the shop counter. The result belongs to your home or your business and doesn't look interchangeable. And because wood is a natural material, even the unpainted silhouette brings calm to the room.

Material & finish

The chilli is laser-cut from 3 mm thick plywood. That gives it smooth edges and the characteristic brown rim. The rim gives the motif a clear line without any extra work. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So paints, glues and oils adhere well. Wood is a purely natural material. Brightness and grain vary, and small knots may occur. That makes every piece unique. The chilli is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, with clean workmanship.

How to use the wooden chilli

• Crafting with children: Everyone paints their own chilli in red, green or yellow. In the end, a homemade garland hangs in the kitchen.
• On the laid table: Scatter small chillies between plates and glasses. Your Mediterranean evening has atmosphere before the first course.
• For money gifts and cards: Stick on a mini chilli. It turns a plain envelope into a gift with a wink. Ideal for anyone who loves cooking spicy food.
• In restaurants and delis: Use the chilli shape as a recurring motif on shelves, counters or menus. It carries the theme through consistently. With a set of 50 or 100, you have enough for decorating the whole shop.
• At the weekly market: Large chillies up to 50 cm mark your spice or Mediterranean food stall from afar. They are quick to set up and reusable.

Good to know about chillies

The chilli originally comes from Central and South America. It reached Europe in the 16th century. Today, Mediterranean cooking is unthinkable without it. It stands for temperament and enjoyment. That is why the silhouette suits kitchens and restaurants so well. Use it to point out spicy specialities, as a motif for cooking fans or simply as a southern greeting on the table.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. The wood is untreated, so it is best kept dry. Avoid constant moisture. If you paint or oil the chilli, you protect the surface even more. At the same time, you decide on the look. That way, your decoration stays looking good for a long time, with no effort.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden chilli or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So paints, glues and oils adhere well to the surface.

Why does the chilli have a brown edge? The silhouette is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which gives the motif a clear outline. The edges are smooth, so there is no need to sand them.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in brightness and grain. Small knots are normal. This makes every piece unique. It is not a defect.

Which sizes can I order? You choose the height from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. You can order singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
