Paint & craft a weasel – plywood weasel cutout, 3–50 cm

The craft table is ready. Brushes and paints are laid out. All you need now is a shape that's easy to decorate and really looks good when you're done. This plywood weasel is made for your crafting afternoon. It's a clear animal silhouette with smooth edges. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply leave it plain and stand it up. Want to paint a weasel without drawing and sawing out the shape first? This cutout does exactly that step for you.

What changes for you

• You can start decorating straight away. The weasel comes ready cut, and the untreated wood takes paint, oil and glue well.
• Your decoration looks neat and well finished. That's thanks to the laser cut with smooth edges and the typical brown edge that outlines the shape.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. Choose from 3 cm for table scatter and cards up to 50 cm for windows or walls, in 1 cm steps.
• Crafting with children stays relaxed and fun. No saw is needed, and every child can simply start painting.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. The weasel is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.

Why this wooden weasel makes a difference in everyday life

A shape made of real wood looks calmer and warmer than printed paper or plastic. Put it on the windowsill, on a present or in a homemade woodland scene in a child's room. The natural silhouette fits in quietly, because the wood has no glossy printing inks or plastic surfaces. And because you do the design yourself, you end up with something that exists only once.

Material & finish

The weasel is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That's why it has smooth, clean edges and the typical brown edge that clearly marks the outline of the shape. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it however you like. Wood is a purely natural material. Colour, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That makes every weasel unique, and no two cutouts are the same. It is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden weasel

• Crafting with children at the weekend: each child paints their own weasel. At the end, they proudly take home a woodland animal they decorated themselves.
• Making Christmas decorations: put small 3–5 cm weasels on cards, presents or the Advent wreath. Your winter decorations get a motif not everyone has.
• As table scatter for a birthday or christening table: spread a few small silhouettes between the plates. The table looks lovingly prepared, with very little effort.
• In the shop window or on the counter: a large weasel, 40–50 cm wide, for autumn and nature themes. Quick to set up and usable for a long time. If you like, paint it to match your range.
• For school, nursery or craft groups: with the set of 25, 50 or 100, every child gets the same blank. You save preparation time, and the results still turn out colourfully different.

Good to know about the weasel

"Flink wie ein Wiesel" – quick as a weasel. Almost everyone in Germany knows this saying. The small predator has always stood for speed and skill. So the motif works not only for woodland and nature decorations. It also makes a playful message, for example on a greetings card for a sporty child. Or as a little gift for someone who's always on the ball.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Keep the untreated wood dry and it will keep its natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you'd like to make the weasel more durable, simply paint, glaze or oil it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the weasel or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated and takes paint, varnish, oil and glue well. It's ideal for painting, embellishing and decorating.

Where does the brown edge come from? The weasel is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge that neatly outlines the shape. It isn't a flaw, it's a feature of laser cutting.

Why do the cutouts look different? Wood is a natural material. Colour, grain and small knots vary. This makes every weasel unique.

How big is the weasel at a given width? The height depends on the shape. At a width of 10 cm, it is 5 cm. You can apply this ratio to all available widths.

With this cutout you get more than a piece of wood. You get an afternoon in which a plain piece of wood turns into a little weasel with character in your hands. Painted, decorated and exactly as you imagined it. Just choose your width and the number of pieces you need. You do the rest.
