Ladybird V2 plywood silhouette for crafting, 3–50 cm

The birthday card for your best friend is on the table, next to paints and glue. And you're still missing one last detail. A small ladybird silhouette in natural, untreated plywood is exactly that detail. Use it as a lucky charm on the card, on a gift of money or as spring decoration in the window. It comes in sizes from 3 to 50 cm and seems made for your next craft project.

What changes for you

• You can start designing right away, with no need to sketch first. All the ladybird's outlines are scored into the top surface.
• Your design always fits the project, from table scatter to wall decoration. You can choose any size from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Paint, decorate or oil the ladybird just as you like. The wood is untreated and takes paint well.
• When crafting with children, you don't have to keep a constant eye out. The laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• You're well equipped for nursery, a school class or large craft groups. The ladybird is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this ladybird silhouette makes a difference in everyday life

A blank that already has a clear shape and pre-drawn outlines takes the hardest part off your hands. And it still leaves you complete freedom. Instead of struggling with scissors and templates, you get straight to the fun part: designing. That's how you make greeting cards, money gifts and spring decorations that look homemade – in the best sense.

Material & finish

The ladybird is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives a clean, precise shape and smooth edges that don't fray. The top carries the fine scored outlines. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It's ideal for painting, decorating or oiling. As a purely natural material, it shows variations in shade, fine structures in the grain and occasionally small knots. That's what makes every piece unique. The ladybird is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Frequently asked questions

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

What does scored outline mean? The ladybird's typical lines, such as the spots and wing cases, are finely marked on the top by laser. The underside is left natural.

How big is the ladybird if I choose 10 cm? Height and width are then each 10 cm. This ratio applies to all sizes.

Why don't all the ladybirds look the same? Wood is a natural material. Variations in shade, fine structures and small knots are normal and not a defect. They make every piece unique.

A wooden cutout is just the start. The real moment comes when someone opens your card, spots the little lucky ladybird and can't help smiling. Simply choose your size – singly or in a set – and start designing.
