Wooden shark V2 for crafts – plywood silhouette, 5–50 cm

A rainy afternoon. The craft table is set with brushes, paints and glue. All that's missing is a motif that makes children's eyes light up. The wooden shark from Bütic is made for exactly that. It's a laser-cut shark silhouette in plywood. You can paint it, decorate it and design it however you like. It's just right for your next craft afternoon – from a seaside-themed children's room to Halloween decorations.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting straight away. The wood is untreated, so paint, varnish, oil or glue stick directly.
• Your motif already looks finished before you paint it. That's thanks to the laser-scored contour lines and the face on the top side.
• You get exactly the size you need. Choose any width from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. The shark is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Your children won't hurt themselves on rough edges. The laser-cut edges are smooth.

Why this wooden shark makes a difference day to day

A ready-cut motif takes care of the most time-consuming part for you: the sawing. You focus on the fun part – designing, painting, hanging up. A simple afternoon turns into a window decoration, a mobile or a place card that everyone is a little proud of. And because the wood is left natural, the shark shows the light, smooth plywood surface with visible grain even without paint.

Material & finish

The shark is laser cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which gives the motif a clear, fine outline. The top side has the laser-scored contour lines. The underside is left natural, so you have a completely blank surface for your own ideas. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. That's why it takes paint well. As a purely natural material, every piece is unique. Lightness, grain and small knots vary. This is not a flaw – it makes every shark one of a kind. It is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, with clean, careful finishing.

How to use the wooden shark

• Crafting with children: everyone gets their own shark to paint. In the end, a whole colourful school of sharks swims across the children's room window.
• For an under-the-sea themed birthday: a small shark at every place as a place card. Your guests have something to take home before the cake even arrives.
• For Halloween decorations: painted dark and given teeth, the shark becomes a spooky figure for the window or buffet table.
• In a café, fishmonger's or at a market stall: a few sharks in the shop window or on the counter set up a seaside theme in just a few minutes. No big set-up needed.
• At nursery, school or a holiday club: with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, a whole group is covered and you don't need to reorder.
• Our tip: Paint the cutout with white paint and it becomes a great white shark. Ideal for seaside-themed children's rooms, themed birthdays or ocean window pictures.

Good to know about the shark

Ever since the classic film "Jaws" from 1975, the shark silhouette has been one of the best-known outlines of all. Everyone recognises it at first glance. That's why the motif works in many settings: brightly coloured and playful in a children's room, seaside-style in a shop window or spooky with a wink for Halloween.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. As the wood is untreated, it's best to store the shark somewhere dry and keep it away from constant moisture. If you want to use it outdoors, a coat of paint or oil helps. That way the motif stays nice for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the wooden shark? Yes. The plywood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. Paints, oils and glue stick directly to the surface.

Why does the shark have a brown edge? The cutout is laser cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which gives the motif a clear outline. The edges are cut smooth.

Are both sides designed? No. The top side has the laser-scored contour lines with a face. The underside is left natural – ideal as a blank surface for your own ideas.

How big is the shark at a width of 10 cm? At a chosen width of 10 cm, the height is 4.5 cm. The height increases in proportion to the width you choose.

Does every shark look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in lightness and grain. Small knots are normal. Every piece is unique.

This wooden cutout is made for an afternoon when a piece of wood, a few paints and plenty of imagination become a whole ocean. Simply choose your size – single or in a set – and off you go.
