Lobster craft – wooden lobster cutout in plywood, 5–50 cm

A summer party in the garden, nautical table decorations or a craft afternoon with the children. Sometimes all that's missing is the right motif to tie it all together. Do you want to craft or paint a lobster, or use one as coastal decoration? Then this wooden lobster is made for your next project. It's a clear plywood silhouette, untreated and ready for your ideas. Just pick the size you need – and a blank surface becomes a little piece of the seaside.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away. The wood comes untreated in its natural state.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project. Choose from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can work comfortably with no risk of splinters at the edges. The lobster is laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• You can kit out larger projects such as shop windows, buffets or craft groups in one go. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.
• You're holding a neatly finished piece made in Germany. Every lobster comes from Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden lobster makes a difference

One single, clear motif often has more impact than lots of small decorative bits. The lobster instantly brings a coastal and seaside theme to the table, the window or the wall. You don't need to spend long arranging things. Because it's raw and untreated, you decide on the colour and style yourself. Paint it bright red or leave it natural. That way you get decorations that really suit you, rather than something off the shelf.

Material & finish

The lobster is made from 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That's why it has the typical brown edge, which gives the silhouette a finely drawn outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean, so paint and glue adhere well. Wood is a purely natural material. It varies in shade, shows different grain patterns and may have small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind – not a flaw, but character.

How to use the wooden lobster

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own lobster. In the end, a whole colourful gang of lobsters hangs in the children's room.
• For a summer party: scatter a few lobsters between shells and candles on the buffet. Your guests will feel like they're at the seaside.
• At the fish counter or in a restaurant: the nautical silhouette shows at a glance what's on offer. No elaborate redecorating needed.
• In the shop window: arrange several sizes in a staggered layout to create a coastal scene. It's quick to set up and just as quick to pack away.
• As a gift tag or card motif: put a small lobster on the parcel. Even before it's unwrapped, it's clear someone wrapped it with love.

Good to know about the lobster

The lobster has long been a symbol of the coast, the sea and good food. You'll find it in fish restaurants, beach houses and nautical decorations all over the world. That's exactly why the silhouette suits summer parties and coastal themes. It works wherever you want a seaside atmosphere – from the garden table at home to the shop counter.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so keep the lobster away from constant moisture. A dry cloth is enough for dusting. If you paint, oil or varnish it, you decide how hard-wearing the surface will be. That way you'll enjoy your decoration for a long time.
