Wooden emperor angelfish silhouette for crafts, 3–50 cm

An under-the-sea birthday party, a seaside table setting or a summer shop window. And you still need the right motif. This wooden emperor fish, also called an angelfish, is an untreated plywood fish silhouette. You can paint it, decorate it or hang it up just as it is. From tiny to impressively large – made for your next craft project.

What changes for you

• You can make your decoration in exactly the size you need. The emperor fish can be ordered from 3 cm to 50 cm in height, in 1 cm steps.
• You can start straight away with paint, glue or oil. The wood is untreated and takes any finish.
• You get clean, smooth edges with no sanding needed. Each fish is laser cut, which gives it the typical brown edge.
• Larger projects are easy to plan. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 are available, for example for the craft table at nursery or the table decoration for a party.
• You are holding a genuine piece of craftsmanship. It is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden emperor fish makes a difference

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden fish you design yourself tells your own story. Use it as table scatter, as a hanging decoration in the window or fixed to the wall. The untreated natural wood feels smooth and light and looks calm in any room. And when you craft with children, the plain silhouette turns into an afternoon spent together.

Material & finish

The flat silhouette is made of 3 mm plywood. It is light enough to hang up and sturdy enough to paint and decorate. Laser cutting gives smooth edges and a clean finish. The characteristic brown edge outlines the shape. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. You decide whether it stays natural or gets some colour. As a natural material, every piece has its own grain. Some are lighter, some darker, and some have small knots. This makes every fish one of a kind – not a flaw, but character.

How to use the wooden emperor fish

• Crafting with children: every child paints their own fish. In the end, a whole colourful shoal swims across the bedroom wall.
• For a summer party or christening with a seaside theme: scatter small fish across the table. The table looks lovingly decorated with little effort.
• As a hanging decoration in the window, on a branch or on a gift: thread a ribbon through and you're done. A personal greeting that lasts.
• Combine them with wooden slices to make seaside motifs for door wreaths, mobiles or wall decorations – piece by piece, just as you like.
• In a fish restaurant, café or at a market stall: large fish from 30 cm are easy to see in the shop window or on the counter. The sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 also make seasonal decorations for several areas easy to plan.

Good to know about the emperor fish

Emperor fish are among the most colourful inhabitants of tropical coral reefs. Their bright patterns earned them their majestic name. That is why the untreated silhouette is a great canvas. With bold colours, stripes and dots, you can bring a piece of the reef into your home or shop display.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The untreated plywood is best kept in a dry indoor space. Avoid constant damp and wet conditions. Painting or oiling the fish gives the surface extra protection, so you can enjoy your decoration for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint, decorate, coat or oil it straight away.

Where does the brown edge come from? The fish is laser cut. This creates the typical brown edge that frames the silhouette. The edges are smooth and cleanly cut.

How wide is the fish at my chosen height? As a guide: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 7.5 cm. Other sizes keep the same proportions.

Why don't all the fish look the same? Wood is a natural material. It varies in shade, has its own grain and sometimes small knots. This is not a fault – it makes every piece one of a kind.

Can the fish be used outdoors? The wood is untreated and should not be exposed to moisture for long periods. Outdoors, choose a sheltered spot and apply a protective coat of paint.

A plain piece of wood becomes your very own colourful fish. Painted at the kitchen table, hung up with a smile. Just choose your size and quantity, and off you go.
