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

Spring is just around the corner, but your window still looks bare. You're looking for a motif that brings the garden and sunshine indoors. A wooden bumblebee made of untreated plywood is just right for this. You paint it, stick things on it or leave it natural. And a bit of spring is buzzing over your window decoration, wreath or craft table. Choose from widths of 3 to 50 cm to get exactly the size that suits your idea.

What changes for you

• You can design it exactly as you imagine. The wood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, coated or oiled.
• You'll find the right size for every project – with widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away, even with children. The laser-cut edges are smooth, so nothing splinters and nothing needs filing.

• You get clean workmanship from Bütic's own production in Pößneck – made in Thuringia, piece by piece.

Why this wooden bumblebee makes a difference every day

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. A bumblebee decoration you design yourself is clearly your own work. On the window, in a door wreath or as a gift tag: the clear bumblebee silhouette brings a spring and garden mood into the room straight away. And because you decide on the size and design, the motif fits right into your home. It doesn't just stand around somewhere.

Material & finish

The bumblebee is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That's where the smooth edges come from. It also gives the typical brown edge, which draws a fine outline around the motif. The wood is left untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So paints, glue and oils adhere well. As a natural material, every piece has its own structure. The shade varies, and small irregularities in the grain or tiny knots may occur. This makes each wooden bumblebee one of a kind, not a faulty piece.

How to use the wooden bumblebee

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own bumblebee. In the end, a colourful swarm hangs in the window, and everyone is proud of it.
• For a spring wreath on the door: Tuck two or three small bumblebees between the twigs. Your entrance greets guests even before they ring the bell.
• As a gift tag: Write a name on a small bumblebee and tie it to the ribbon. Your gift looks lovingly prepared rather than quickly wrapped.
• In a café or farm shop: Use large bumblebees in your spring window display or at the counter. It's a seasonal motif that is quick to put up. It rounds off a product display on the theme of gardens and honey.
• For a market stall or beekeeper: Place the bumblebee silhouette next to honey jars or flowers. Your stall becomes easy to recognise, and passers-by remember it.

Good to know about the bumblebee

The bumblebee has long been seen as a herald of spring. It is one of the first insects to be out and about in gardens each year. That's why the motif suits spring and garden decorations so well – from window decorations and Easter branches to seasonal shop displays.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated wooden bumblebee dry. If needed, just wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid constant moisture. That way, the natural material keeps its shape and its light, friendly look for a long time. If you paint or oil the bumblebee, you give the surface extra protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden bumblebee? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Acrylic paints, pens, glue and oils adhere well to the surface.

Why does the bumblebee have a brown edge? The motif is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge that clearly outlines the silhouette. The edges are smooth and don't need any finishing.

Do all the bumblebees look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are possible. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How tall is the bumblebee at my chosen width? The proportions stay the same. At a width of 10 cm, the height is 8 cm. From this, you can work out the height for any other width.

Is the bumblebee also available in larger quantities? Yes. Besides single pieces, you can order sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces – for example for craft groups, nurseries or shop displays.

What you're really getting is more than a piece of plywood. It's the moment when the first bumblebees you've painted yourself hang in the window. Spring has arrived at your place before it has really come outside. Just choose your size and quantity – and get started.
