Broken wooden tooth – cutout for crafts, 3–50 cm

The first wobbly tooth is out and the excitement is huge. And you're still looking for a little surprise from the tooth fairy. Or you'd like to make your practice's waiting room friendlier without rearranging everything. This broken wooden tooth is made for exactly that. It's a clear silhouette in untreated plywood. You can paint it, decorate it or simply use it as it is. That's how a plain cutout becomes your very own decoration.

What changes for you

• Your motif is recognisable at a glance – because the silhouette of the broken tooth is laser-cut cleanly and precisely.
• You can start crafting straight away, with children too – because the wood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well.
• Your project gets exactly the right size – because you choose any height from 3 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. From a small hanging tag to a large wall piece.
• You can plan bigger activities without stress – because the cutout is available singly or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• It's pleasant to work with – thanks to smooth laser-cut edges. No splinters when you handle and decorate it.

Why this broken tooth makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made decoration looks the same as everywhere else. A blank made of real wood only becomes something of your own through your hands. Your child might paint it after losing their first milk tooth. You might label it for the reception desk. Or you leave it plain as a tongue-in-cheek motif. That way you get decorations that tell a little story instead of just standing around.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm thick plywood. It is laser-cut in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia. This gives a clean outline and smooth edges. They feel pleasant to the touch and are easy to work with. The wood is untreated, not varnished and not glazed. That makes it ideal for painting, coating, decorating or oiling. Wood is a natural material, so every piece has its own grain. Some are lighter, some darker, occasionally with small knots. This is not a flaw. It's what makes each cutout unique.

How to use the broken tooth

• Crafting with children: The first wobbly tooth has come out. Paint the wooden cutout together as a keepsake or as a message to the tooth fairy. That way the exciting day stays visible as a memory.
• Crafting money gifts: A broken tooth with a banknote behind it as a “contribution to the dental repair”. Your gift is sure to raise a smile.
• In a dental practice or dental lab: Labelled at reception or on the waiting room wall, the motif helps young patients feel less nervous. It also makes your practice recognisable at first sight.

Good to know about the tooth

In many families, handing the first milk tooth to the tooth fairy is a firm part of childhood. The tooth goes under the pillow, and in the morning a little surprise is waiting. That's exactly why the cutout works so well as a paintable keepsake of this moment. In a practice, it's a friendly symbol that makes the topic of teeth feel light and approachable.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. As the plywood is untreated, it's best kept in a dry indoor space. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to protect the surface or add colour, you can simply paint, varnish or oil the cutout. That way the motif keeps looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the cutout is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why it takes paint, glue and oil particularly well.

Can I paint the cutout? Yes, the untreated plywood is very well suited to painting, decorating, coating or oiling. This includes crafting with children.

How wide is the tooth? The width depends on the height you choose. For example, at a height of 10 cm it is 7 cm wide.

Are colour differences in the wood normal? Yes. Wood is a natural material. Variations in shade, grain and small knots are part of it and make each piece unique.
