Wooden crucifix – plywood cross for crafts, 3–50 cm

First Communion is just around the corner and the invitations are written. Now you'd like the table to show what the day is really about. A wooden crucifix at each place, on the card or as table scatter brings this quiet message to the table. It takes very little effort. The untreated wooden crucifix from Bütic's own production in Pößneck is made for your craft ideas. You decorate it to suit your celebration.

What changes for you

• You'll find exactly the size your project needs. The cross can be ordered from 3 cm to 50 cm in height, in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small scatter piece to a large wall decoration.
• Your colours, your style: you can paint, stick on, coat or oil the cross. The plywood is untreated and takes paint and glue well.
• No sawing or sanding needed. Thanks to laser cutting, the edges are smooth and the shape is clean and even.
• You're also well covered for larger projects. The crucifix is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. That's ideal for a whole First Communion group or for parish work.

Why this wooden crucifix makes a difference in everyday life

Table decorations for a christening, a craft afternoon with the confirmation class or a keepsake you design yourself: a wooden crucifix blank gives your idea a clear, calm shape. With little effort, you turn it into something personal. Instead of mass-produced decorations, you create something made by hand. Your guests notice that when they pick it up.

Material & finish

The cross is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the brown edge typical of this cutting method. The edge frames the light wood and is part of the piece's character. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean, so you can start decorating straight away. Wood is a purely natural material. Brightness, grain and small knots vary slightly from cross to cross. This makes every piece one of a kind. Made in Thuringia, Germany.

How to use the wooden crucifix

• For First Communion or confirmation: scatter small crosses across the festive table. The table tells guests about the occasion before the first course is served.
• For crafts with children in the parish or at home: each child paints their own cross. At the end, they take home a keepsake they made themselves.
• For a christening: write or stick a name and date on a cross. That makes a personal gift that lasts.
• For cards and gifts: stick small sizes onto greetings cards or gift wrapping. It's a detail that sets your post apart from printed cards.
• For model making or any kind of decoration: use the cross in the size you need. It works for fine details as well as a large wall cross.

Good to know about the cross

For centuries, the Latin cross has been the central symbol of Christ and the Christian faith. That's why it suits every church occasion. This ranges from christenings, First Communion and confirmation to decorating parish rooms or making keepsakes.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply store the untreated wood in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture. If you paint, oil or varnish it, you decide how the surface looks. The cross will stay a lovely piece for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the cross or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can coat, paint, stick things on or oil it, just as you like.

Do all the crosses look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the crucifix available in larger quantities? Yes. Besides single pieces, you can order sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. These are ideal for group work in church and parish.
