Wooden dachshund V2 – dachshund cutout for crafts, 3–50 cm

A small gift for a dog lover, a home-made door sign or table scatter for your next party. Sometimes all you need is the right motif to get started. This wooden dachshund is an untreated plywood cutout. You can paint it, stick things on it or leave it natural and decorate it, just as you like. You can choose a width from 3 to 50 cm. That makes it a good fit for your next craft project, from a tiny hanging tag to a large decoration.

What changes for you

• You design the wooden dachshund exactly the way you like. The plywood is untreated, so you can paint, cover, varnish or oil it.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from gift tag to wall sign. Widths range from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• No need to sand the edges. The laser-cut edges are smooth and ready to use.
• For bigger plans like a children's birthday party or a club craft session, you'll have plenty to go round. Buy them singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a genuine piece of craftsmanship. It's made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden dachshund is so useful

You can put a wooden dachshund straight on the table, in the window or on a gift. There's no need to search for something that suits the occasion. The cutout comes in its natural form. So you decide whether to paint it in bright colours, write on it or leave it plain wood. That way you make decorations that really look like yours, not mass-produced.

Material & finish

The dachshund is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the silhouette finely. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. The cutout feels nice in your hand and you can work on it straight away. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade varies, its grain has its own patterns and it may have small knots. That's what makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden dachshund

• When wrapping gifts for dog lovers: tie a small dachshund to the ribbon. The parcel has a personal tag before it's even opened.
• For a name sign on a door: write on one of the larger sizes. From now on, a four-legged friend greets your guests at the children's room or the front door.
• As table scatter for a party all about your dog: spread small dachshunds across the table. The theme is clear at first glance.
• When crafting with children: each child paints their own dachshund. At the end, they take home a keepsake they made themselves.
• In a dog grooming salon, pet shop or at the weekly market: use dachshund silhouettes with writing on them to label offers or decorate the counter. It takes little effort and gives you a consistent look.

Good to know about the dachshund

The dachshund was once bred to hunt badgers in their setts. That's where its name comes from. It also explains the unmistakable long, low silhouette that you recognise instantly, even as a small outline. That's exactly why the motif works so well as a decoration and gift idea. It needs no explanation and reliably makes dog lovers smile.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. The wood is untreated, so it's best to keep the dachshund dry and away from constant moisture. If you want to use it outdoors or for a long time, you can paint, oil or varnish it. That keeps the surface looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the dachshund or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue, glaze or oil easily.

How tall is the cutout at a given width? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, the height is 7 cm. The proportions stay the same at every size.

Where does the brown edge come from? The dachshund is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge, which gives the silhouette a clear outline.

Are colour variations in the wood normal? Yes. Wood is a natural material and varies in shade. Small knots and patterns in the grain are part of it. Every piece is one of a kind.

What counts is the moment when someone spots your home-made dachshund sign and can't help smiling. Just choose your width and quantity – and get started.
