Lighthouse V1 wood – plywood silhouette for crafts

The shells from your last beach holiday are already on the windowsill. The blue-striped napkins are bought. But your table decoration still lacks the one motif that ties it all together. That's exactly what this wooden lighthouse is made for. It's a clear, laser-cut silhouette that instantly brings to mind the coast, the wind and the beacon light. Lay it on the table, hang it in the window or reach for a brush. With just a few steps, you create a maritime mood.

What changes for you

• Your decoration instantly gets a coastal theme. The lighthouse silhouette is recognisable at a glance, whether as table scatter, a hanging decoration or a window picture.
• You can get started straight away, with no prep needed. The wood comes in its natural state. You can paint designs on it, glue things onto it, give it a coat of paint or oil it, just as you like.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. Choose from 3 cm for place cards up to 50 cm as a freestanding decorative figure, in 1 cm steps.
• You can plan larger projects with ease, too. The cutout is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• It's pleasant to work with, even with children, thanks to smooth, laser-cut edges.

Why this lighthouse makes a difference day to day

A single, clear motif often makes a decoration calmer than lots of small pieces. The lighthouse sets a theme – coast, holidays, wanderlust – and you decide how far to take it. Leave it natural and simple on the windowsill. Or paint it in bright colours during a crafting afternoon together. That way, a simple cutout becomes a piece your guests want to look at and touch.

Material & finish

The lighthouse is laser-cut from 3 mm thick plywood. That's where the smooth edges come from. It also explains the typical brown edge that gives the motif a finely drawn outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why it reliably takes paint, glue and oil. Wood is a natural material, so brightness and grain vary slightly from piece to piece. Small knots are normal. This makes every cutout one of a kind. It is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the lighthouse

• At a crafting afternoon with children: if you want to make your own lighthouse, this wooden cutout is the ready-made base shape. Paint it red and white, and you end up with a little coastal landmark on the shelf.
• For a christening or Communion with a maritime theme: scatter small lighthouses across the table. The theme then runs through the whole table with little effort.
• For place cards and gift tags: write a name on it and thread a ribbon through. Every present then tells of the sea and holidays.
• In the window: hang several silhouettes in different sizes as a window picture. The view outside gets a touch of the coast.
• In a café, fish restaurant or at a market stall: with just a few cutouts, you can decorate your counter and shop window in a coastal style. They're quick to set up and last a long time. Thanks to the sets, costs are easy to plan even for large areas.

Good to know about the lighthouse

For centuries, lighthouses have used their beacons to guide ships safely to the coast. That's why the motif still stands for direction, safety and homecoming. It suits maritime summer decorations. It also fits occasions such as a christening, Communion or a new beginning, when you wish someone a good course.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply store the untreated cutout in a dry place, and it will keep its shape and look good for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you paint, oil or varnish the motif, you give the surface extra protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the lighthouse or glue things onto it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well. It's ideal for painting, embellishing and creative projects.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The lighthouse is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge that clearly outlines the silhouette. The edges are smooth.

How wide is the lighthouse? The width depends on the height you choose. At a height of 10 cm, it is 3 cm wide. At other heights, the width changes in the same proportion.

Why do the cutouts look different? Wood is a natural material. Brightness, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This is what makes every lighthouse one of a kind.

What matters is less the wooden cutout itself than the moment when a little piece of coast appears on your table, in your window or on your gift. Everyone thinks of the sea and holidays for a moment. Simply choose your size and quantity and get started.
