Crafting with kids – wooden wagon wheel V3 in plywood

The children's party is coming up and the craft supplies are ready. But the farm theme still needs a matching motif for invitations and table decorations. This is where the wooden wagon wheel comes in. It is a laser-cut plywood silhouette with classic spokes. It is untreated and ready for your ideas. Paint it, decorate it or leave it natural. With a few simple steps, the plain cutout becomes your own decoration.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away, with no sawing or sanding. The wagon wheel arrives fully laser-cut with smooth edges.
• Your decoration fits your project exactly. You choose the width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. Use it as a small piece of table scatter or as a large motif on a door sign.
• You can decorate it just the way you like. The untreated wood takes paint, glue and oil with ease.
• Planning larger projects is easy. You can order the wheel singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. This is ideal for crafting with kids in groups or classes.
• Your motif is clearly defined from the start. The typical brown laser edge outlines the spokes clearly and cleanly.

Why this wooden wagon wheel makes a difference every day

A ready-cut motif takes care of the most tedious part of crafting. You go straight to the fun part: decorating. With its spokes, the wagon wheel shows a country motif at first glance. You don't need to arrange much around it. Add it to a wreath, a sign or a gift wrap, and you have a piece of country life designed just the way you like.

Material & finish

The wagon wheel is made from 3 mm plywood. It is laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is cleanly finished with smooth edges, so it is easy for children's hands too. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can do anything with it: paint, colour, oil or glue. Wood is a natural material. Different shades, fine grain patterns and small knots are part of it. They make each piece one of a kind, not faulty.

How to use the wagon wheel

• In model making: choose the right size in 1 cm steps. Your farm or Western diorama gets details made to measure.

Good to know about the wagon wheel

Wagon wheels used to be made by hand by the wheelwright. This was a trade of its own, fitting the wheel spoke by spoke. That is why the spoked wheel still stands for country life and craft tradition like few other motifs. It fits farm themes, Western decor and rustic country-style designs.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Keep the untreated wood dry, and it will keep its shape and look good for a long time. If you want to protect the surface or add colour, simply paint, oil or varnish it. Do whatever suits your project.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wagon wheel or glue things onto it? Yes. The wood is untreated. You can paint, colour, oil or glue it – whatever your idea.

How big is the wheel at a given width? Width and height are the same. For example, if you choose a width of 10 cm, the wheel is also 10 cm high.

Why does the wheel have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge. It is part of the cut and gives clearly defined outlines.

Do all wheels look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it shows different shades, fine textures and sometimes small knots. Each piece is one of a kind.

A wooden cutout is only the start. What counts is the moment your idea becomes finished decoration. You look at the wreath, the door sign or the craft table and see: I made that. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
