Wooden unicorn – untreated plywood cutout, 5–50 cm

The children's birthday party is coming up, the school cone needs decorating or the nursery still needs a decoration. And you're missing just the right motif. An unfinished wooden unicorn cutout is made for your craft table. You can paint it, stick things on it or decorate it however you like. A simple silhouette becomes a piece that really suits your occasion.

What changes for you

• You're free to design it to your own taste – because the wooden unicorn is untreated and can be painted, decorated, coated or oiled.
• You get exactly the size you need – thanks to a choice of heights from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You save yourself the hassle of sawing it out by hand – the silhouette is laser-cut and arrives with smooth edges.
• You can plan bigger projects without stress – because you can order the motif individually or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You're holding a genuine natural product – every piece has its own grain, and no two are alike.

Why this wooden unicorn makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden unicorn you design yourself looks exactly the way you picture it. Try soft pastels for the nursery or glitter for the birthday table. Or leave it natural on a shelf. Because the silhouette is so simple, it leaves room for your own idea.

Material & finish

The unicorn is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif finely. The edges are smooth, so you can start straight away without sanding. The wood is unfinished, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why it takes paint and glue well. Wood is a natural material, so every piece turns out slightly different. The shade varies, each has its own grain, and some have small knots. This makes every unicorn one of a kind. Every cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden unicorn

• At a children's birthday party: every child paints their own unicorn – an activity for the whole group, and at the end each guest takes home a keepsake they've designed themselves.
• In the nursery: a large 50 cm motif on the wall or shelf. You can repaint it or add new decorations whenever tastes change.
• For the first day of school: small unicorns on the school cone or as table scatter – and the celebration looks lovingly prepared without much effort.
• At nursery school or in a craft group: with a set of 25, 50 or 100 pieces, every child has the same motif in front of them – and you can prepare the craft session in minutes.
• In a shop or café: painted unicorns in the window or on the counter catch the eye – seasonal decoration that you can swap quickly and buy affordably in larger quantities.

Good to know about the unicorn

Since the Middle Ages, the unicorn has been seen as a symbol of purity and wonder – and it's still one of children's favourite mythical creatures today. That's why the motif is perfect for children's birthday parties, christenings and the first day of school, as well as anywhere a decoration should bring a little magic into everyday life.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: as the wood is untreated, it's best kept dry and protected from prolonged moisture. If you paint, varnish or oil the unicorn, you'll also make the surface more durable – so your motif stays beautiful for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the unicorn? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed, and takes paints, varnishes, oils and glue well.

Why does the motif have a brown edge? The unicorn is laser-cut – the brown edge forms naturally during the process and also ensures smooth edges with no finishing needed.

Do all the cutouts look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood isn't: as a natural material, it varies in shade and may show small knots or slight irregularities in the grain. This isn't a flaw – it makes every piece unique.

Is the unicorn suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it's meant for indoor use. If you'd like to use it outdoors, you should paint or oil it first and protect it from prolonged moisture.

This wooden cutout is really about a moment. The moment a child proudly holds up the unicorn they painted themselves. Or the moment your table looks just as playful as you imagined. Simply choose your size and quantity. You design the rest.
