Why this wooden kingfisher makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden blank becomes exactly what you make of it. Even unpainted, the clear silhouette looks calm and natural in a window, on the wall or on the table. And once you decorate it, you create something unique: your colours, your idea, your kingfisher.

Material & finish

The silhouette is made of 3 mm poplar plywood. It is laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. The laser cut gives smooth edges and the typical lightly browned rim. This gives the shape a natural outline. The wood is untreated, unvarnished and unglazed. So you can finish it exactly as you like. Wood is a natural material, so its shade and grain always vary a little. Small knots may also appear. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden kingfisher

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own kingfisher. At the end, a colourful flock of birds hangs in the window, and everyone is proud of it.
• As a gift idea: tie a small kingfisher to a money gift or a parcel. A simple envelope becomes a lovingly made surprise.
• At home: a large silhouette on the wall or on a shelf brings a bit of nature into the room. No elaborate decorating needed.
• In a café, farm shop or at a market stall: a few kingfishers on the counter or in the shop window make a seasonal nature display in just a few minutes. With sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, you have enough for larger areas too.
• For clubs, schools and nurseries: for project days, the bulk sets give you a blank for every child. No sawing required.

Good to know about the kingfisher

Thanks to its bright blue feathers, the kingfisher is often called the “flying jewel”. In the Greek legend of Alcyone, it stands for calm, happy days. So the shape works as nature decoration and as a small lucky charm too. Give it as a present, use it on greeting cards or tie it to a special parcel.

Care & durability

Care is easy: simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth. The wood is untreated, so avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the kingfisher outdoors or in damp rooms, paint, oil or glaze it first. That way the silhouette stays looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden kingfisher? Yes. The wood is untreated. You can paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it. Paint sticks directly to the natural surface.

Why is the edge brown? The silhouette is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge. It is part of the process and gives the shape a clear outline.

Do all the kingfishers look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain and sometimes has small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Is the kingfisher suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it is meant for indoor use. For outdoors, we recommend a protective coat, as the wood is not varnished or glazed.

How wide is the kingfisher? As a guide: at a chosen height of 10 cm, the width is also 10 cm.

Picture the moment your own kingfisher hangs in the window. You look at it and think: I made that. Simply choose your size – single or in a set.
