Butterfly V2 outline wooden cutout for crafts – 5 to 50 cm

The craft table is set, the paints are ready – and right in the middle, a light plywood butterfly with contour lines is waiting to be brought to life with colour. Whether it's for spring decorations in the window, table decorations for a christening or a cosy afternoon with the kids: this wooden butterfly with scored contours is made for your next craft idea. Simply choose the size you need – from a small table scatter motif to a large wall decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start creating straight away without sketching first – the wing outlines are already scored into the top and guide you as you paint.
• Your decoration fits exactly where you want it – thanks to a freely selectable width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You decide how your butterfly looks – the wood is left natural and can be painted, decorated with glued-on details or oiled.
• No sanding needed – the laser-cut edges are smooth and clean, so even little hands can handle the shape without worry.
• You're well equipped for bigger projects – the motif is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden butterfly makes a difference every day

A silhouette made of real wood looks different from shiny plastic. You can tell them apart at first glance by the matt, grainy surface and the warm colour of the wood. Use it on the window, on the festive table or in a child's room. The wood blends in quietly and looks lovingly made rather than shop-bought. You choose the size freely. So the same design can become delicate table scatter or a large wall piece.

Material & finish

The butterfly is laser cut in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. This gives precise shapes and smooth edges with no frayed rims. The top has a fine outline cut into it. The underside is left plain. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. This means paints, glues and oils adhere reliably. Wood is a natural material and is never completely uniform. Variations in shade, fine structures in the grain or small knots are part of it. They make every piece unique.

How to use your wooden butterfly

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own butterfly – and at the end, a whole colourful flock flutters in the window.
• Crafting a Mother's Day gift: a butterfly you've decorated yourself on a card or tied to a bouquet – and the gift gets a personal touch.
• Crafting money gifts: a banknote artfully attached to the wooden motif – and a plain envelope becomes a little work of art.
• For a christening or wedding: use small butterflies as table scatter or as tags for place cards. This way the design runs consistently through your whole table decoration.
• In a café, shop or at a market stall: large butterflies in the shop window or on the counter herald the spring season – quick to put up, eye-catching for a long time.

Good to know about the butterfly

The butterfly has always been a symbol of change and new beginnings – from caterpillar to colourful butterfly. That's exactly why the motif is so popular for occasions celebrating a new chapter in life: christenings, first communions, starting school or weddings. As a herald of spring in the window, it also tells the story of nature reawakening year after year.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: untreated wood looks its best when used in dry conditions and, if needed, simply wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged moisture and wet conditions – if you paint or oil the butterfly, you'll also make the surface more resistant.

Frequently asked questions

What does scored contour mean? The wing outlines are finely laser-scored into the top – as subtle lines that give the motif depth and make painting easier. The underside stays smooth and natural.

Can I paint the butterfly or glue things onto it? Yes. The plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed – acrylic paints, watercolours, glue, decoupage or oil all adhere well.

How tall is the butterfly at a particular width? The proportions stay the same: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6.5 cm. From this you can work out the height for any other width.

Why don't all the butterflies look exactly the same? Wood is a natural material: shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This isn't a flaw – it makes every motif unique.

In the end, it's not about a piece of plywood. It's about the moment your own butterfly hangs in the window and spring has already moved in a little. Simply choose your width and quantity – the rest is up to you.
