Why this wooden iguana makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made shape takes care of the hardest part for you: the sawing. You focus on the fun part – mixing colours, decorating, embellishing. In the end you have a lizard that really looks like your own. In the window, on a bedroom door or on a present, it shows the colours and patterns you chose yourself.

Material & finish

The iguana is made from 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That is why it has smooth edges and the typical brown rim. This rim gives the shape a clear outline, even before you paint it. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. So it takes paint, glue or oil well. As with any natural material, the shade and grain vary slightly from piece to piece. Small knots are normal. This makes every cutout one of a kind, not a flaw.

How to use the wooden iguana

• Crafting with kids: Each child gets their own lizard to paint. At the end, a colourful parade of iguanas hangs in the window.
• In a child's bedroom: Put a large iguana on the wall or door. The jungle theme is clear at a glance.
• As gift decoration: Add a small iguana to a parcel or tie it to the string. Your present looks lovingly made rather than quickly wrapped.
• For nurseries, schools or craft groups: With a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100, the whole group gets the same design. No hours of sawing needed.
• In a shop or café: As table scatter on the counter or in the shop window, the lizard adds a playful detail that customers notice.

Good to know about the iguana

The brown rim is created by the heat of the laser during cutting. It is part of the process and frames the shape like a fine outline. This is handy for you: even if you paint the iguana in light colours, the shape stays easy to see. Left unpainted, it already looks finished enough for simple natural decoration.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so it is best to keep the iguana dry and away from constant moisture. If you want to hang it outside for longer, you can paint or oil it. That way the design will look good for a long time.
