Wooden mouse V1 in plywood – wooden mouse for crafts

The craft table is set. Paints and brushes are ready. All you need now is a shape that makes you want to get started. This wooden mouse in plywood is made for exactly that. It has a clear silhouette, is untreated and ready for your ideas. Use it as a small figure for the children's room or as a large wooden mouse for a shop window display. You decide on the size and design.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away with painting, sticking or oiling – because the wood is untreated and takes colour well.
• You'll find just the right size for your project. The width can be chosen from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• The cutout is laser-cut with smooth edges. So it's pleasant to work with, and the edges won't give you splinters.
• You don't have to saw it out by hand. You still get a clean, even shape. This also works in larger quantities for crafting with groups.
• Your decorations look natural, because each mouse is made of real wood with its own grain.

Why this wooden mouse makes a difference day to day

A ready-made shape takes care of the hardest part for you: the outline. You don't need to draw, saw or sand. You can focus entirely on decorating. Do it on your own, with children or in a craft group. The mouse comes in many sizes, so it suits every idea. Use it as table scatter or as a large wall decoration.

Material & finish

The mouse is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia. The laser cut gives smooth edges and the typical brown rim. This rim gives the silhouette a fine outline. The wood is untreated, not varnished or stained. You can paint it, oil it or stick things on it, just as your project needs. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade varies, and it may show small irregularities in the grain or small knots. That makes every mouse one of a kind. It's not a flaw, it's simply real wood.

How to use the wooden mouse

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own mouse. In the end, a small, home-made mouse family hangs in the children's room.
• As a gift tag or table decoration: Put a small wooden mouse on a parcel or a charger plate. Your guests will notice as they sit down that someone decorated with love.
• In nursery or primary school: With a set of 25 or 50 pieces, the whole group has the same shape. And you save hours of sawing in advance.
• In a shop or café: Place a large mouse in the shop window, left natural or painted to suit the season. It's set up in just a few moves.
• As table scatter in autumn or at Christmas: Spread small mice of 3 to 5 cm across the festive table. With little effort, the table looks playful.

Good to know about the mouse

The mouse is one of the most popular characters in children's books and stories. Hardly any animal seems so friendly and approachable. That's why this shape works especially well for anything to do with children. Think children's room decorations, children's birthday parties, craft afternoons or a small gift for a new baby.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Indoors and in dry conditions, the untreated wood keeps its shape and looks good for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the mouse outdoors, protect it with paint, a wood stain or oil.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden mouse? Yes. The plywood is untreated, not varnished or stained. Acrylic paints, stains, oils and glue adhere well to the natural surface.

Where does the brown rim on the edges come from? The mouse is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark rim that outlines the silhouette. The edges are smooth and pleasant to touch.

Does every mouse look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, its shade varies, and it may show small knots or irregularities in the grain. Every piece is one of a kind.

Can I use the mouse outdoors? Untreated, it belongs indoors. With a protective coat of paint or a wood stain, you can also prepare it for outdoor decoration.

How tall is the mouse at my chosen width? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, the mouse is 6.5 cm tall. The other sizes follow the same proportions.
