Guinea pig V1 wooden silhouette – craft blank

An afternoon at the craft table, brushes and paints at the ready – and in the middle, a guinea pig decoration just waiting to be painted. This wooden guinea pig silhouette is made for your next craft afternoon. It has a smooth, untreated surface that you can decorate however you like. For a child's bedroom, as a gift tag or as a lovingly chosen detail in your shop – the plain cutout becomes a piece that is all your own.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away – the plywood is untreated and takes colour well.
• You get exactly the size your project needs – choose any width from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your craft project looks neat from the start – because the laser cut leaves smooth edges with no splinters.
• You can plan group projects with ease, for example for a children's party or a craft class – because the figure comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Your finished piece has character – the typical brown edge from laser cutting frames the silhouette naturally.

Why this guinea pig silhouette makes a difference in everyday life

A wooden guinea pig motif brings warmth to your design straight away – quite different from printed paper or plastic. You're holding real natural material. It feels pleasantly smooth, and its grain stays visible in every project. As a name sign on a child's bedroom door or as a tag on a present: the little animal speaks for itself before you've even written anything on it.

Material & finish

The silhouette is laser cut from 3 mm plywood. That gives it smooth edges and the distinctive brown edge that outlines the motif. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. So you can paint, oil or cover it just as you like. Wood is a purely natural material, so every cutout turns out slightly differently: sometimes lighter, sometimes darker, with fine textures or small knots in the grain. That is exactly what makes each piece one of a kind. The guinea pig is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, and carefully finished.

How to use your wooden guinea pig

• At a children's party: each child paints their own guinea pig – and takes home a keepsake they designed themselves.
• On a child's bedroom door: add a name and the silhouette becomes a door sign that makes young and old smile.
• On a present for guinea pig fans: a small figure on a ribbon – and even before unwrapping, it's clear someone put thought into it.
• In a pet shop or vet practice: place the motifs in different sizes on the counter or in the window – and the small-animal corner is easy to spot at a glance.
• In a craft class or nursery: with sets of up to 100, you have enough blanks for the whole group – without having to reorder several times.

Good to know about guinea pigs

Guinea pigs are among the most popular pets for children. They are naturally sociable animals and prefer to live in groups. That's why the decoration looks best when several silhouettes come together: as a little herd on a shelf, on the windowsill or as a craft project for the whole family.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply keep the untreated wood dry and protect it from constant moisture. Then it will keep its natural look for a long time. If you paint or oil it, you decide how the surface looks in the end and how well it is protected.

• Available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the guinea pig or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, oiled, covered or decorated in other ways.

Why does the silhouette have a brown edge? The motif is laser cut. The brown edge forms naturally in the process and also gives smooth edges.

Why do the cutouts look different? Wood is a natural material: brightness, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece – that makes every figure unique.

How big is the figure at a width of 10 cm? At a width of 10 cm, the height is 5.5 cm. Other sizes follow the same proportions.

What counts is not the wooden cutout itself. It's the moment when a guinea pig you've painted yourself hangs on the door and someone says proudly: “I made that.” Just choose your size and quantity – and get started.
