Hedgehog V1 in wood – plywood silhouette for crafts, 3–50 cm

Autumn is moving into your home. Conkers and colourful leaves lie on the windowsill. But in the middle, there's still a motif missing to bring it all together. This wooden hedgehog silhouette is made for your autumn decorations. It's a wooden hedgehog you can paint, stick things onto or simply stand up as it is. That way, a few finds from the woods become a small autumn scene.

What changes for you

• You can design your décor exactly the way you imagine it – because the plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, varnished or oiled.
• You'll find the right size for every spot – thanks to widths from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps, from a tiny table scatter hedgehog to a large window motif.
• You can craft in a relaxed way, even with children – because the laser-cut edges are smooth and need no sanding.
• You're all set for bigger projects without ordering several times – because the wooden hedgehog is available individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You're holding a genuine natural product – made from wood with visible grain, so every piece is one of a kind.

Why this hedgehog silhouette makes a difference every day

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden hedgehog you've designed yourself shows your own style. Put it at the window, on the seasonal table or use it in a craft session. The motif brings calm and a natural feel to the room. It also brings single decorative pieces together into one arrangement. Would you like to make wooden hedgehogs with children? The ready-made cutout gives you a starting point that makes you want to get creative straight away.

Material & finish

The hedgehog is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that neatly frames the motif. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. So the cutout feels pleasant in your hand, and you can work with it straight away. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. Paints, glue and oils adhere well, and you decide on the surface yourself. Wood is a purely natural material. Small knots, differences in shade and slight irregularities in the grain are normal and make every piece unique. Every hedgehog is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Care & durability

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the plywood is untreated – neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint, decorate, stain or oil it directly.

Why does the hedgehog have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown edge – it's part of the process and frames the motif.

How tall is the hedgehog at a given width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Do all the hedgehogs look exactly the same? The shape is identical, the wood isn't: as a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and occasionally small knots – and that's exactly what makes every piece one of a kind.

In the end, it isn't about a wooden cutout. It's about the afternoon spent painting, gluing and laughing at the kitchen table – and about the little hedgehog that sits in the window for months afterwards as a reminder of that moment. Just choose your size and quantity, and off you go.
