Paint a cobra – plywood cobra cutout for crafts, 3–50 cm

The craft table is ready, brushes and paints are laid out. Now all you need is a motif that makes you want to get started. This plywood cobra is made for exactly that. It's a cobra to paint, stick things on and decorate. It's unfinished, and you can choose any height from 3 to 50 cm. Just right for your next crafting afternoon. Use it as table scatter on the birthday table or as a large wall motif in a child's room. The plain blank becomes a piece that is all your own.

What changes for you

• You can start painting and decorating your cobra straight away. The wood is unfinished, so it takes paint, glue or oil directly.
• You get exactly the size that suits your idea. Choose from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can relax while crafting, even with children – because the laser-cut edges are smooth and nothing needs sanding.
• You can supply whole projects in one go. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 are available, for a children's party or a craft group, for example.
• Your finished snake won't look like a random craft piece. The laser cut is clean, and the typical brown edge gives the motif a clear outline.

Why this wooden cobra makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made cutout takes care of the hardest part for you: the sawing. You can focus on the fun part. Mix colours, paint patterns, create together. And in the end, you don't have an anonymous decoration from the shelf. You have a snake that shows your own style. People will notice it on a shelf, on the wall or on the party table.

Material & finish

The cobra is made of 3 mm thick plywood and is laser-cut. That's why it has clean, smooth edges and the typical brown rim that traces the silhouette. The wood is unfinished, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it however you like. Every cobra is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a natural material and is never completely uniform. Brightness, grain and small knots vary. That makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden cobra

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own snake. And takes home a self-made keepsake from the jungle birthday party.
• On the party table: Spread small cobras between the plates as table scatter. Everyone can see the party theme at first glance.
• In a child's room: Paint a large 50 cm cobra in bright colours and hang it on the wall. A blank wall becomes a painted wooden motif that defines the room.
• Crafting money gifts: Write on the snake or combine it with a banknote. The envelope becomes a little surprise with a wink.
• In a shop or café: Use several motifs as counter or window decoration for a themed week. Quick to place, with no big setup.

Good to know about the snake

The snake has long been a symbol of change and new beginnings. It sheds its skin and, in a way, starts over again and again. So the motif suits more than jungle and animal themes. It also fits occasions that celebrate a new chapter, such as starting school or moving house.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. If needed, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. The wood is unfinished, so avoid constant moisture. That way the surface stays smooth and keeps its shape for a long time. A coat of paint or oil adds extra protection and lets you decorate the surface.
