Squirrel V3 wood – plywood cutout for crafting

Outside, the leaves are turning. Indoors, you want autumn on the table. But shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. With a wooden squirrel cutout, you create your own design. Paint it, decorate it, hang it up or simply leave it natural. This way you make window decorations, table decorations or craft projects that look made for your home.

What changes for you

• You design the squirrel exactly the way you want. The plywood is untreated, so you can glue on it, paint it, varnish it or oil it.
• Your design always fits its spot, from small table scatter to a large window figure. You can choose any height from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can see the face and fur at a glance, with no need to draw them yourself. The engraved outlines on the top already show the details.
• It is pleasant to work with, even for little hands at the craft table. The laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• You can kit out larger projects in one go. Order them singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations just get put in place. A wooden cutout becomes your very own piece. The squirrel suits autumn decorations, window pictures or gift tags. It looks subtle, not overbearing. And because you decide on the size and design yourself, the motif fits in with what you already have.

Material & finish

The squirrel is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif finely. The top shows the engraved face and outlines. The underside is left natural. This is ideal for gluing or as the back when placed in a window. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. It takes paint, glue and oils well. Wood is a purely natural material. Brightness, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That makes every squirrel one of a kind. The cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the squirrel

The squirrel has long been a symbol of foresight and hard work. After all, it busily gathers supplies for the winter in autumn. That is why it is a popular motif for autumn and winter decorations. It also suits small gifts that build anticipation for the cosy season.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Simply store the untreated wood in a dry place and wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid prolonged moisture. This way your squirrel keeps its shape for a long time. The natural surface also stays ready to take paint and glue.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the squirrel or glue things onto it? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can glue on it, paint it, varnish it or oil it.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The motif is laser-cut. The brown edge forms during cutting and is part of its typical look.

Are both sides the same? No. The top has the engraved outlines with face and details. The underside is left natural.

Do all cutouts look identical? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and occasionally small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.
