Wooden clown for crafts and decorating, 3–50 cm

The children's birthday party is coming up and the theme is circus. You're still looking for something to tie the invitations, bunting and table decorations together. A wooden clown is made for your craft table. It's a clear plywood silhouette. It's untreated and ready for paint, glitter or glue. A simple figure becomes the little funny man who makes your party cheerful.

What changes for you

• You decorate the clown just the way you like. The wood is left natural. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it.
• You'll find the right size for every project. The wooden clown comes in sizes from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. Use it as a card tag or as a window figure.
• Crafting with children stays relaxed. The edges are laser-cut and smooth. No sanding, no splinters before you start.
• You can easily supply larger groups too. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available. They suit a nursery group, a school class or a carnival club.
• You get a figure with character. The typical brown laser edge traces the outline. It gives the shape a clear line on its own.

Why this wooden clown makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made decoration looks the same in every home. A figure you decorate yourself tells the story of the person who painted it. The circus clown blank gives you a basic shape. Children and adults have a motif straight away, but the design is still up to them. An afternoon of crafting turns into bunting, card decorations or table decorations that truly belong to your party.

Material & finish

The clown is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives smooth edges and a clean, even outline that feels pleasant in your hand. The wood stays untreated. It is neither varnished nor glazed, so paints, pens and glue stick well. Every figure is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a purely natural material. It can turn out lighter or darker and may show small knots or differences in the grain. That is exactly what makes each piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden clown

• As bunting in the children's room or party room: thread several clowns onto a string. The wall tells the story of the circus party.

• In a café or at a club party: the large figures up to 50 cm decorate windows or the buffet. They give the circus party a visible setting.

Good to know about the clown

The clown has its roots in English theatre. In the 19th-century circus it became a regular figure. It was the funny man who made people laugh between the acts. That's why the motif still works so well for children's birthdays, carnival and circus parties. It stands for fun and good spirits before a single brushstroke is made.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the untreated figures in a dry place. They keep their shape and take paint just as well later as on the first day. Once painted or oiled, the clown will last as a decoration for many parties.

Frequently asked questions

Is the clown already painted or treated? No, the plywood is left natural. It is neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it, just as you like.

Where does the brown edge come from? The clown is laser-cut, and this creates the typical brown edge. It is part of the cutting process and neatly traces the outline.

Do all figures look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it can be lighter or darker and may show small knots. This is not a defect. It makes every figure one of a kind.

Is the figure suitable for crafting with children? Yes, the laser-cut edges are smooth. The untreated wood takes craft paints and glue well. The sets include a figure for every child.

A wooden cutout is only the start. The real moment comes when the children proudly hold up their brightly painted clowns. Then the circus party begins while you're still crafting. Just choose your size and quantity. You'll create the rest together.
