Wooden cheetah – plywood silhouette for crafts, 3–50 cm

The birthday table is set and the theme is safari. Between the plates and the bunting there's still room for a matching animal. With this wooden cheetah silhouette, you bring the big cat right to your guests' places. Use it as table scatter, as a hanging decoration or as a shape to paint. It suits the children's room, a themed party or an afternoon of crafts with kids. The wooden cheetah is ready for your next craft idea.

What changes for you

• You decorate the cheetah just the way you like. The plywood is unfinished, so you can paint, glue, coat or oil it.
• Your shape always fits the size of your project. Choose a width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• It's easy to work with and needs no sanding. The edges are laser-cut and smooth, so they're fine for little hands too.
• You're well stocked for bigger projects. The cheetah comes single or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a piece of honest craftsmanship. It's made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this cheetah silhouette makes a difference

A shop-bought decoration always looks the same. A wooden cheetah you've decorated yourself tells your story. Spotted like the real thing, painted in bright colours by your child or left natural on the wall. The shape brings a touch of the wild into the room. It turns an ordinary craft day into a small project with a result you can see. And because you choose the size, the big cat fits on a greetings card just as well as on the children's bedroom door.

Material & finish

The cheetah is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that outlines the silhouette nicely. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean, so you can start decorating straight away. The wood is unfinished, neither varnished nor stained. It takes paint, glue and oil well. As a natural material, it is never completely uniform. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That makes every cheetah one of a kind.

How to use your wooden cheetah

• Crafting with kids: each child paints their own cheetah. At the end, they proudly take their favourite animal home.
• For a safari or zoo-themed children's party: scatter small cheetahs across the table. Your table will look like the start of an expedition.
• In the children's room: paint a large cheetah and fix it to the door or wall. The room gets a motif that really suits your child.
• For cards and money gifts: glue on a small cheetah. A plain card becomes one that's remembered long after the party.
• For nurseries, schools or craft groups: the sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 give the whole group identical blanks. No cutting, no preparation.
• In the shop window or on the counter: combine several sizes for a themed display. It's quick to set up and easy to swap for the season.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Store the wooden cheetah in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. The unfinished plywood will then keep its shape and look good for a long time. If you paint or oil it, you give the surface extra protection and choose the colour yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the cheetah? Yes. The plywood is unfinished and can be painted, glued, coated or oiled. Paint adheres well to the natural surface.

How tall is the cheetah at my chosen width? The height is proportional to the width. For reference: at 10 cm wide, the height is 6.5 cm.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The cheetah is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown edge. It comes from the cutting process and traces the outline of the silhouette.

Does every cheetah look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it shows different shades, textures and sometimes small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

This wooden cutout is made for moments like these. Your child holds up their own painted cheetah. Or your guests at the safari table take a closer look for the first time. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
