Wooden dragonfly cutout, 3 mm plywood, choose 5 to 40 cm

The spring table is set, and the window is still waiting for a motif. When you craft with the children, you need a motif that makes them want to paint. A plywood dragonfly is just right for this. It is an untreated cutout that you design exactly as you like. A plain piece of wood becomes your own summer decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or writing on it straight away – because the plywood is untreated and takes paint, varnish and oil well.
• You can work without sanding and without splinters at the edges. That's because the cutout is laser-cut with smooth edges.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. It ranges from a small table scatter piece to a large wall decoration. You can choose the height from 5 to 40 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your craft project works even with fine, detailed designs. The dragonfly silhouette is cleanly cut, so the shape comes out clearly.
• What you are holding is a piece of honest craftsmanship. It was made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden dragonfly makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout you design yourself shows your own style. It comes in your colours, with your idea, to suit your home. Use it at the window, in a flowerpot or as part of a gift wrap. The dragonfly brings lightness to a room without being intrusive. And the crafting itself becomes a small, quiet moment in the afternoon.

Material & finish

The dragonfly is made of 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That gives it smooth edges and the typical brown rim. The rim outlines the motif with a fine contour. The wood is untreated, not varnished and not glazed. You decide whether to paint it, glue things onto it, coat it or oil it. Wood is a natural material, so it is never completely uniform. Different shades, fine grain patterns and small knots are part of it. This makes every piece unique. It is not a flaw.

How to use the wooden dragonfly

• At a crafting afternoon with children: every child paints their own dragonfly. At the end, a small work of art hangs at the window, and everyone is proud of it.
• For spring and summer decorating: hang one large dragonfly on the wall or several small ones on a branch. The room instantly feels lighter and friendlier.
• For gift wrapping: tie a small dragonfly to the ribbon. The parcel then looks like more than a quickly wrapped present.
• In a café or at a market stall: use it as table scatter on the counter or write on it to make a sign. Your display looks lovingly made, with little effort.
• At nursery or school: use it as a ready-made cutout for project work. Everyone starts with the same clean shape and can focus fully on designing.

Good to know about the dragonfly

In Japan, the dragonfly has been a symbol of luck for centuries. It stands for courage and confidence. Here, many people associate it with summer, water and lightness. That's why the motif suits spring and summer decorations. It also works as a small gift to wish someone luck.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated dragonfly dry and protect it from constant moisture. Then it will keep its shape and natural look for a long time. If you paint, coat or oil it, the surface also becomes more durable.
