Make a goblin – plywood wooden cutout, 3–50 cm

Autumn is arriving, and the window could do with a touch of mystery. On the craft table, brushes and paints are already waiting for a new motif. With this wooden goblin, you have a figure you can design exactly as you like. Paint it, stick things on it, oil it or simply stand it up as it is. Perhaps you want to make a goblin with children. Perhaps you are creating your own Halloween decorations. Either way, this silhouette is made for your craft table.

What changes for you

• You design the goblin exactly as you picture it. The plywood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on it or oil it.
• Your motif always fits the space you have. Choose any size from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small table scatter piece to a large window figure.
• You can start straight away without sanding. The laser-cut edges are smooth and clean.
• Larger projects are easy to supply. You can order the goblin individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a genuine piece of handcraft. It's made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden goblin makes a difference

Shop-bought decorations look the same everywhere. A figure you design yourself tells your story. The goblin gives you the shape. You decide everything else: the colours, the details, the spot at the window, on the door or on the table. That is how a plain wooden cutout becomes a figure that suits your home. You can tell someone made it with love.

Material & finish

The goblin is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the typical fine brown edge left by the laser. This edge frames the silhouette subtly and saves you finishing the edges. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. That is why it takes paint, glue and oil reliably. Please note: wood is a purely natural material. It is never completely even. Some pieces are lighter, some darker, with fine structures in the grain and occasionally small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind. It is not a defect.

How to use the wooden goblin

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own goblin. In the end, a whole gang of goblins stands on the windowsill, and everyone is proud of it.
• At Halloween: put a few figures at the window or on the door. Your home greets its little visitors with a wink.
• As table decoration: scatter small goblins between candles and pumpkins. Your autumn table gets a detail your guests are sure to spot.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: place the motif in different sizes on the counter or in the shop window. It creates a seasonal mood. With sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, you can cover larger areas without ordering several times.
• At school, nursery or craft group: the sets provide one figure for every child. The same shape, but a hundred different results.

Good to know about the goblin

In German folklore, the Kobold is a household spirit that brings good luck to the home. Its Irish relative, the leprechaun, is said to guard a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So the silhouette suits more than Halloween and autumn decorations. It also works as a lucky charm motif, for example for St. Patrick's Day or as a small gift.

Care & durability

There is not much to do. As the wood is untreated, it is happiest indoors. Keep it away from constant moisture, and the goblin will keep its shape and colour for a long time. If you want to display it outdoors, simply protect it first with paint, varnish or oil.

Frequently asked questions

Is the goblin already painted? No, the plywood is untreated and natural. You can paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it as you like. Or leave the natural wood look just as it is.

Why is the edge brown? The goblin is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge that finely frames the silhouette. The edges are smooth and do not need sanding.

How wide is the figure? The width grows in proportion to the height. At 10 cm high, the goblin is 6.5 cm wide. This makes it easy to estimate the width for any size you choose.

Can I hang the goblin outdoors? Untreated, it belongs indoors. For outdoor use, paint or varnish it first. That protects it from moisture.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it shows different shades, fine structures and sometimes small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

A wooden cutout is only the beginning. What counts is the afternoon when a plain silhouette becomes your very own goblin. And the moment it stands at the window, fully painted. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
