Wooden loving couple – plywood silhouette for crafting

Valentine's Day is getting closer and the card is ready. Now you want a gift that says more than mass-produced shop goods. A wooden loving couple is made for your craft idea. It's a laser-cut silhouette you can paint, decorate or simply stand up as it is. A plain wooden cutout becomes a small gift that really comes from you.

What changes for you

• You give something handmade rather than something generic. The untreated plywood takes paint, oil, lettering or decoration, just as you like.
• Your design fits your project exactly, from gift tags to large wedding decorations. You can choose any height from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can get started right away, with no sanding or finishing – the laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• For bigger plans like wedding favours or place cards, you'll have plenty to hand. The couple comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a piece of honest craftsmanship. It's made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden loving couple makes a difference in everyday life

Small things you make yourself say something ready-made decorations can't: that someone took their time. Use the couple as a gift tag, as a figure on the windowsill or as a motif on a card. Its calm, natural wooden look suits personal occasions. And because the wood is untreated, you decide whether it stays natural or gets your favourite colours.

Material & finish

The silhouette is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This creates the typical brown edge, which gives the design a fine outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. You can pick up the design straight away and carry on working with it. Wood is a natural material. Shade and grain vary, and small knots may occur. This makes every piece unique. The couple is made in Thuringia, Germany.

How to use the wooden couple

• For Valentine's Day: Paint a small silhouette and tie it to the card. Your Valentine's gift shows your own handiwork before it's even unwrapped.
• Crafting with children: Each child decorates their own couple with paint and glue. At the end, there's a handmade gift for Mum, Dad or the grandparents on the table.
• Creative money gifts: Fold banknotes and glue them to the figure, or use it as a tag. The envelope turns into a decorated gift on the present table.
• For weddings: A large design at the reception, small couples as place cards or favours. The same motif runs through your decorations all day.
• For cafés, florists or shops: Wooden couple figures in the window or on the counter mark Valentine's Day as a seasonal theme. They're quick to place, reusable and need little setting up.

Good to know about the loving couple

According to tradition, Valentine's Day on 14 February goes back to Saint Valentine. He is said to have married couples and given them gifts. Small handmade tokens of affection have a long tradition on this day. That's one more reason the loving couple motif suits not only Valentine's Day but also engagements, weddings and anniversaries.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated wood dry and avoid constant moisture. The surface will then look good for a long time. Painting or oiling the design gives it extra protection and makes it your own.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the design have a brown edge? The loving couple is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge that clearly outlines the silhouette. The edges are smooth and don't need any finishing.

Do all the figures look the same? The shape is always identical. The wood itself varies slightly in shade and grain. Small knots are normal and make every piece unique.

How wide is the design? The width depends on the height. At 10 cm high, the couple is 8.5 cm wide.
