Why these plywood strips make a difference day to day

If you love crafting, you'll know the feeling: the idea is there, but the right base material isn't. With a stock of plywood strips in a uniform format, you simply reach into the drawer and get going – whether for Christmas decorations, money gifts or a shared crafting project with children. That way, a spontaneous idea turns straight into a finished piece you can give away or display at home.

Material & finish

The strips are made from 3mm poplar plywood and left natural – neither varnished nor glazed. This means they take paint, glue and oil well, and you decide how the surface ends up looking. They are neatly finished and made in Germany. Good to know: wood is a completely natural material. Each strip varies slightly in shade and grain, and small knots or irregularities in the structure are normal – that's exactly what makes every piece unique, and it isn't a defect.

How to use the plywood strips

• Christmas crafting with children: each child paints their own strip – and at the end, there's homemade Christmas decoration hanging in the window that everyone is proud of.
• For money gifts: stick banknotes and a little message onto a strip – and a simple envelope becomes a gift to remember.
• In the craft room: saw, shorten and combine the strips into frames, signs or miniature buildings – and thanks to the uniform dimensions, you'll always have matching pieces.
• At after-school clubs, schools or craft classes: with the set of 50 or 100, there's enough material for every group – without having to top up piece by piece.
• For shop displays or market stalls: labelled wooden strips as price or variety signs give your counter a natural, consistent look.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made of several thin layers of wood glued together crosswise – which makes it more stable than a single board of the same thickness and less prone to warping. Poplar is also light in colour and weight, so it's especially easy to cut, saw and paint. That's exactly why poplar plywood has always been a classic among craft woods.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply store the untreated strips somewhere dry and they'll keep their shape for a long time. If you'd like to protect the surface or add colour, you can paint, oil or glaze them as you wish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint and glue the strips straight away? Yes. The wood is untreated and neither varnished nor glazed – paints, glues and oils adhere directly to the surface.

Do all the strips look the same? Not quite. Wood is a natural material, so shade and grain vary slightly, and small knots can occur. This is normal and makes every strip unique.

What quantities can I order? You can get the plywood strips individually or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 – depending on how big your project is.

How big is one strip? Each strip is approx. 50cm long, approx. 3.0–3.4cm wide and 3mm thick.

In the end, it's not about a bundle of wooden strips. It's about the afternoon when a few simple strips of wood turn into something of your own – painted, glued, given as a gift. Just choose your set size and get started while the clearance stock lasts at Bütic.
