Wooden trophy – plywood silhouette for crafting, 5–50 cm

It's nearly time for the prize-giving at the birthday party – and every child should have something in their hands that they've made themselves. That's exactly what this wooden trophy is made for: an untreated trophy silhouette made from plywood that you can paint, stick things on and decorate however you like. A simple wooden cutout becomes a little winner's trophy that keeps the memory of the party alive for a long time.

What changes for you

• You can design your winner's trophy to suit your occasion perfectly – because the wood is untreated and can be decorated, painted, varnished or oiled.
• You'll find the right size for every idea, from a small trophy to a large challenge cup – thanks to the choice of heights from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away without sanding first – the laser-cut edges are smooth and neatly finished.
• You can easily kit out larger groups too, such as school classes or clubs – because the wooden trophy is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden trophy makes a difference

A trophy you've designed yourself says more than any shop-bought one: it shows that someone put thought into it. Crafting it builds anticipation, handing it over creates a proud moment – and afterwards the wooden trophy sits on the shelf as a reminder of the day. A simple cutout becomes something that really means something.

Material & finish

The trophy silhouette is made from 3 mm plywood. It is laser-cut in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. This creates the typical brown edge along the cut lines. It frames the shape and gives it a clear outline. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed, so paint and glue stick well. Wood is a purely natural material. Each silhouette varies in shade, and small knots or fine marks in the grain are normal. That is exactly what makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden trophy

• At a children's birthday party: every child paints their own trophy – and takes home a keepsake they made themselves.
• At a sports day or club tournament: you write names and placings on the trophies in advance. Every winner then gets a trophy cut out just for them, without a big budget.
• In a school project or at nursery: the smooth edges make the cutout comfortable for little hands too – and at the end, every child has something to show off.
• As decoration: whether it's a themed party, a football night or an anniversary celebration – a few trophies in different sizes on the table or in a display cabinet bring the theme to life.
• For clubs and organisers: with sets of 10 or more, you can equip whole groups of participants – uniform in shape, individual in design.

Good to know about trophies

The German word for trophy, “Pokal”, comes from the Italian “boccale”, a drinking vessel – hence the classic goblet shape that still stands for victory and recognition today. It's precisely this familiar silhouette that makes the cutout so rewarding: everyone can see at a glance that something is being celebrated – whether at a sports day, a club party or a children's birthday.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do: store the untreated wooden trophy in a dry place and avoid prolonged moisture – this keeps the plywood stable and the surface will continue to take paint and glue well. Once you've decorated it, you can varnish or oil it if you like to protect it for the long term.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the trophy straight away? Yes. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed – paints, pens and glue adhere directly to the surface.

Why does the trophy have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge along the sides – and at the same time leaves them smooth, so they don't need sanding.

How wide is the trophy? The width depends on the height you choose. For reference: at a height of 10 cm, the silhouette is 7.5 cm wide.

Do all the trophies look the same? The shape is identical, the wood isn't: as a natural material, it varies in shade and may show fine textures or small knots. That makes every piece unique.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the moment a child holds up their own hand-painted winner's trophy and beams. Simply choose your size and quantity – and let the celebrations begin.
