Wood crafts – plywood offcuts by the kilo, approx. 3 mm

The craft table is ready, and the children are already sitting there waiting. All that's missing now is material that sparks ideas. That's exactly what these plywood offcuts by the kilo are made for. They are laser-cut pieces of poplar plywood in all sorts of lengths, widths and shapes. You reach into the box and take out a piece. Then the crafting, decorating or embellishing can begin.

What changes for you

• You always have a supply of craft material to hand. That's because you order the plywood offcuts by the kilo instead of buying individual sheets.
• Your craft projects with children can start straight away. At approx. 3 mm thick, the pieces are easy to glue things onto, paint and work further.
• The mixed shapes and sizes keep giving you new ideas. Every delivery is unsorted, so each one is made up differently.
• You put existing material to good use instead of leaving production offcuts unused. That's good for your craft budget and for how we use wood as a resource.
• You also have dry kindling to hand if a piece no longer fits your project.

Why these plywood offcuts make a difference every day

If you like crafting, you know the moment when you have the idea but not the material. With a box full of wood offcuts within reach, a free afternoon quickly becomes a little workshop session. You might make Christmas decorations, money gifts or a Father's Day present. The random mix in particular gives you ideas you would never have had with uniform material.

Material & finish

The offcuts are made of glued poplar plywood approx. 3 mm thick. They are light in the hand, yet stable enough for decorations, templates and model making. All cuts are laser-cut, so the edges are clean and even. These are genuine production offcuts. Sizes, shapes and patterns vary from piece to piece. So you'll find different cutouts and contours in every delivery. The pieces were made in Thuringia, Germany. At Bütic you get them unsorted and by the kilo.

How to use the plywood offcuts

• Crafting with children: Each child picks their favourite shape from the box. By the end of the afternoon, home-made decorations are hanging in the children's room.
• During Advent: Paint small offcuts, stick things on them or use them as hanging decorations. Christmas crafting with children then produces decorations that are truly one of a kind.
• For money gifts and cards: Use a flat piece of wood as a base, add some ribbon and a message. Your gift then looks lovingly made rather than quickly bought.
• As a template in your workshop: Transfer shapes and outlines straight from the offcut to your workpiece. You save yourself cutting your own templates.
• For engraving and model making: The thin, laser-cut pieces are easy to work further. They're ideal for trying things out before you move on to expensive material.
• For craft groups, nurseries or schools: Buying by the kilo gives you enough material on the table for the whole group. There's no lengthy preparation or cutting.
• Our tip for cold days: Some people also find that pieces they no longer need for crafting make great kindling.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made by gluing thin layers of wood crosswise. The fibres hold each other in check, so the material warps much less than a simple board. That's exactly why such offcuts are so popular for crafting. They stay stable even when thin. And they are easy to glue things onto, paint and engrave.
