Rocking horse V1 wooden decoration – craft cutout, 3–50 cm

The christening card is in front of you and the gift is wrapped. But something is still missing to make it truly personal. A wooden rocking horse decoration is exactly that little extra. It is a delicate, flat figure that you can paint, decorate or attach just as it is. It is made for your next craft idea. A simple cutout becomes a little figure on cards, gifts or the festive table.

What changes for you

• You design the motif just the way you like it – because the wood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, coated or oiled.
• You will find the right size for every idea. The width can be chosen from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from small card decorations to large wall decorations.
• You can carry on working without any sanding. The laser cut leaves smooth edges.
• You are well stocked for bigger projects too. You can order singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• Your result looks considered rather than thrown together. The typical brown laser edge gives the motif a fine outline.

Why this wooden rocking horse makes a difference in everyday life

A card with a raised motif feels different from a printed one. Whoever holds it can tell you took your time. The flat wooden rocking horse decoration fits in quietly and naturally. It works on a gift, on a wood slice or in the window. With little effort, you create a decoration that suits a christening, a birth or Christmas alike.

Material & finish

The rocking horse is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That gives it smooth edges and the typical brown rim that outlines the motif. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint well. As a natural material, it is never completely uniform. Brightness, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That makes every little horse one of a kind. It is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the rocking horse

• For a christening or birth: a little horse on the greetings card or the gift ribbon. As soon as it is unwrapped, it is clear that someone has crafted this with love.
• Painting rocking horses with children: every child designs their own motif. It is an afternoon with brushes and paint. At the end, everyone takes home their own one-of-a-kind piece.
• During Advent: arrange several sizes on a wood slice or in the window. Your Christmas decorations take on a nostalgic, natural look.

Good to know about the rocking horse

The rocking horse has been a classic children's toy for centuries. To this day, it stands for childhood and a sense of security. That is why the motif suits christenings, births and baby showers so well. It also works in Christmas decorations, where it brings a hint of nostalgia into the home.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Simply store the untreated wood in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture. It will then keep its shape and natural look. If you paint or oil it, you decide on the surface and protection yourself, depending on your project.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the rocking horse? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can paint it, decorate it, stain it or oil it. It is ideal for your own designs.

Why does the motif have a brown edge? The little horse is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge that emphasises the outline. It is a feature of the process, not a fault.

How tall is the rocking horse at a given width? The height depends on the width. For example, at a width of 10 cm, the height is 7.5 cm.

Do all pieces look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in brightness and grain. Small knots are normal. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Is the wood suitable for outdoor use? The wood is untreated and should be protected from constant moisture. For outdoor use, you can paint or oil it yourself.

A wooden cutout is only the starting point. What counts is the moment someone picks up your card or gift and realises: you made this yourself. Just choose your size and quantity – and get started.
