Crafting with kids – oval wooden speech bubble, 3–50 cm

A money gift that still needs a personal message. A guest book where everyone gets to "say" something. Or an afternoon of crafting with kids, where everyone ends up holding their own little statement. That is exactly what this oval wooden speech bubble is made for. You write on it, stick things to it or paint it. Then you hang it up as a message among your decorations.

What changes for you

• You add a personal message to gifts, photo walls and decoration ideas. The untreated surface can be written on, painted, decorated with stickers or oiled.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from a small tag to a large wall piece. Widths range from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You don't need to finish the edges yourself. Every speech bubble is laser-cut and has smooth edges with the typical brown laser edge.
• You order exactly the quantity you need. Choose a single piece or a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100. That works for school classes, workshops or bigger events too.
• What you're holding is a piece of honest craftsmanship, made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden speech bubble makes a difference in everyday life

A speech bubble turns silent decorations into a little conversation. Suddenly the gift "says" something. The photo wall tells a story. The place at the table greets the guest by name. The blank comes in natural wood, so you decide on colour, lettering and style. Keep it plain and natural or make it colourful with stickers. That way you create decorations that really look like you, not off the shelf.

Material & finish

The speech bubble is made from 3 mm plywood and cleanly laser-cut. This gives it smooth, burr-free edges. It also gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the shape finely. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That is why it takes paint, glue or oil well. As a natural material, each piece varies in shade. It may show small irregularities or knots in the grain. This makes every speech bubble one of a kind. It is not a defect.

How to use the speech bubble

• When making money gifts: You write the recipient's wish in the speech bubble. The envelope becomes a little scene that makes everyone smile.
• When crafting with kids: Each child paints their own bubble with a favourite saying. In the end, a whole wall full of voices hangs in the children's room.
• At a wedding or birthday party: Guests hold the labelled speech bubbles up to the camera. The photo booth pictures get some wit and personality.
• When making Christmas decorations or a Mother's Day gift: Add a little message to the present or a twig. Your greeting then works without a card.
• In a café, at the shop counter or at a market stall: You write an offer or a greeting of the day on the bubble. Your goods literally speak to your customers. You can change the message quickly and use the bubble again and again.

Good to know about speech bubbles

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the untreated blanks in a dry place and keep them away from constant moisture. That way they keep their shape and look good for a long time. If you want to protect the surface or add colour, simply paint it, oil it or stick things to it.
