Wooden betta fish – ornamental fish silhouette for crafts

The children's room is getting a bit of underwater world. The craft table is already set with paints and brushes. All that's missing is the motif. This wooden betta fish is made for exactly that. It's a laser-cut ornamental fish silhouette, untreated and ready for your ideas. Use it for crafting with children, as a window decoration or as table decoration. The simple cutout soon becomes a decoration that is all your own.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away – the wood comes untreated in its natural finish and takes any colour well.
• Your motif fits your project exactly, from a small table scatter fish to a large wall picture. You can choose any width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• No need to finish the edges. The laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• You can supply larger craft groups or projects without placing several orders. The ornamental fish comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• Your finished piece looks detailed rather than generic. The typical brown laser edge finely traces the betta fish's fins.

Why this wooden ornamental fish makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A fish you design yourself shows your own handiwork. The flat silhouette lets you create an underwater motif for the window, the set table or the children's room wall. You can decorate it a little differently every time. An afternoon at the craft table turns into something that stays in the room for a long time.

Material & finish

The ornamental fish is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood in Bütic's own production in Pößneck. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. This means acrylic paint, glue or oil adhere reliably. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade varies, the grain shows different patterns and there may be small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind – it is not a defect.

How to use the wooden ornamental fish

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own fish. In the end, a whole colourful shoal swims across the children's room window.
• For table decoration: place a small fish at every seat, for example at a christening or a summer party. Your guests have something to take home before the first course.
• Arranged on wooden slices: the flat silhouette is easy to glue on. This creates an underwater picture for a shelf, windowsill or wall.
• In a shop or café: use labelled fish to mark offers at the counter or decorate the shop window for a seasonal theme. It's quick to set up and just as quick to change.
• For aquarium fans: a painted betta fish makes a small gift extra or card tag. It's more personal than any shop-bought card.

Good to know about the betta fish

The betta fish, also known as the Siamese fighting fish, is known for its splendid, flowing fins. It is one of the most popular ornamental fish of all. This distinctive fin shape makes the silhouette so rewarding to paint. It's also a lovely gift idea for anyone with an aquarium at home.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated cutout dry and simply wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant moisture. This keeps the wood dimensionally stable and your decoration looking good for a long time. You can also protect the surface with paint, varnish or oil as you like.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood already treated? No, the cutout is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, glue things on, coat it or oil it straight away.

Where does the brown edge come from? The ornamental fish is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge with smooth sides, which emphasises the outline of the silhouette.

How tall is the fish at my chosen width? The proportions stay the same. At a width of 10 cm, the height is 7.5 cm. From this you can work out the height for any other width.

Why don't all the fish look the same? Wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. Every piece is one of a kind.

A wooden cutout is only the start. What counts is the moment a shoal of hand-painted fish hangs in the window and everyone knows: we made that. Simply choose your width and quantity – and get started.
