Crafting with kids – wooden chef's hat, plywood, 5–50 cm

Maybe the wall above your kitchen units still looks a bit bare. Or your bakery window needs a motif that says straight away: we bake with love here. This wooden chef's hat is made for exactly that. It's a laser-cut plywood silhouette. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply hang it up unfinished. That turns a plain surface into a decoration with a kitchen theme.

What changes for you

• You get kitchen decor that people recognise instantly – because the silhouette is drawn with contour lines and the motif reads at a glance.
• You can get creative with your crafts, including with children – because the wood is untreated. You can paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it.
• You'll find exactly the right size for your project – the width can be chosen freely from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• There's no sanding or finishing needed – because the edges are laser-cut and smooth.
• Larger projects take no extra effort – you can order the chef's hat individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden chef's hat makes a difference every day

A good motif gives a room focus. On the kitchen wall, the chef's hat speaks of snacks and shared meals. At the shop counter or the buffet, it shows guests at first glance what this place is about. Instead of random decoration, you hang up a piece of natural material. And because you design it yourself, it fits your home or your business exactly.

Material & finish

The chef's hat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical, lightly browned edge, which adds extra depth to the motif. The top side shows the lasered contour lines. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can finish it exactly as you like. As a natural material, every piece is unique. The grain can be lighter or darker, and small knots may appear. That's not a flaw, it's nature. Every silhouette is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the chef's hat

The tall white chef's hat – the toque – has been the symbol of the culinary trade for centuries. To this day it stands for care and hospitality in the kitchen. That's exactly why the motif works so well. Whether on the kitchen wall, at the buffet or in the shop window, everyone understands straight away that this is about good food.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. A dry cloth is enough to remove dust. As the plywood is untreated, you should keep it away from constant moisture. Then the silhouette keeps its natural look for a long time. If you want a more resistant surface, you can paint or oil it as you like.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the chef's hat? Yes. The wood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, coated or oiled. It's ideal for crafting and decorating.

How tall is the chef's hat at a particular width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 7.5 cm. The proportions stay the same across all sizes.

Is the wood suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, the silhouette belongs in a dry, sheltered place. For outdoor use, you can protect it first with a suitable coating.
