Paint a wombat – plywood wombat cutout, 3–50 cm

A rainy day. The craft table is set, with brushes and paints ready to go. All that's missing is a shape that makes you want to get started. This plywood wombat is made for your next crafting afternoon. Paint it, glue things onto it or simply stand it up as it is. The unfinished surface leaves every option open. And because you choose the width freely from 3 to 50 cm, it works as a small piece of table scatter or as a large display in a shop window.

What changes for you

• You can start painting and decorating your wombat straight away. The wood is unfinished and takes paint, varnish, oil and glue well.
• Your decoration looks neat without any sanding. That's thanks to the smooth, laser-cut edges.
• You'll find exactly the size you need. The width can be chosen from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Planning bigger projects is easy. You can order single pieces or sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding an honest piece of craftsmanship. It's made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden wombat makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout you decorate yourself tells your own story. It might be brightly painted at a children's party. Or it might be lightly oiled on the sideboard. With its round body and short tail, the wombat gives a shelf or sideboard a recognisable face that doesn't look mass-produced.

Material & finish

The wombat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical fine brown edge, which frames the silhouette and defines its outline. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. So you can pick up the shape and start decorating right away. The wood is unfinished, not varnished or glazed. You can glue things onto it, paint it or oil it. As a natural material, it varies in shade and shows fine textures in the grain. Occasionally there are small knots. This isn't a flaw. It's exactly what makes every piece unique.

How to use the wooden wombat

• At the craft table with children: everyone decorates their own wombat with paint and glitter. At the end, each child takes home a handmade keepsake.
• At a children's party or an Australia-themed party: put a small wombat at every place. Your guests will have something to discover before the cake arrives.
• As a gift tag or table scatter: the small sizes from 3 cm turn a simply wrapped parcel into a thoughtful greeting.
• In a shop, café or at a market stall: a large painted wombat up to 50 cm wide draws attention to your shop window or counter. It's quick to set up and lasts a long time.
• In nurseries, schools or craft groups: with a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, you have identical blanks for the whole group. No cutting needed.

Good to know about the wombat

The wombat is a marsupial and lives only in Australia. There it is one of the continent's best-loved animals. That's why the shape suits Australia-themed parties and children's rooms so well. It also makes a small gift for anyone who dreams of the fifth continent.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Indoors, the unfinished wombat stays in good condition for a long time if you keep it dry. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use it outdoors, a coat of paint, varnish or oil gives the wood extra protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wombat? Yes. The plywood is unfinished and takes paint, varnish and oil well. Gluing things onto it is no problem either.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The wombat is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge along the sides. It's a feature of the process, and it also gives smooth cut edges.

How tall is the wombat at a width of 10 cm? At a chosen width of 10 cm, the height is 5.5 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in shade and may show fine textures or small knots. Every piece is unique.

What counts is the moment when a plain piece of wood becomes something of your own in your hands. Then you proudly put it on display or give it away. Just choose your size and quantity, and your wombat will be on its way to you.
