5 mm plywood strips, clearance – poplar plywood, 100 cm

The craft table is set, the paints and brushes are ready – all that's missing is the right wood to get started. That's exactly what these plywood strips are made for: a wooden strip 5 mm thick, 100 cm long and left natural, so you can paint, glue or cut it to size however your project needs. As clearance stock, you can buy them singly or in a set – so you'll always have supplies ready for your next craft idea.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away without bothering with primer – because the poplar plywood is untreated and can be painted, glued, stained or oiled directly.
• Your project turns out neat with no reworking needed – thanks to the good finishing quality of the strips.
• You'll have enough material to hand for every idea, because you can order the wooden strips singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• Your pieces stay light and easy to handle – because each plywood strip is only 5 mm thick and is easy to saw and work with.
• Crafting with children is relaxed too, as the natural wood is forgiving of experiments and can be redesigned again and again.

Why these plywood strips make a difference day to day

Anyone who loves crafting knows the feeling: you've got the idea, but not the right material. With a small stock of 5 mm wooden strips, you simply reach for the shelf and start – whether you're making Christmas decorations, money gifts or a spontaneous afternoon project with the kids. The natural material brings its own warm, authentic look that painted plastic parts just can't match.

Material & finish

The strips are made from 5 mm poplar plywood and are neither varnished nor glazed – so the surface takes paint, glue and oil well. The clean finish makes them pleasant to work with. Wood is a purely natural material: each strip varies in shade, has its own grain and may contain small knots. This isn't a flaw – it makes every piece unique. The strips are made in Germany.

How to use the plywood strips

• Crafting with children: shorten the strips, paint them, glue them together – and by the end of the afternoon there's a home-made little house or sign on the table.
• During Advent: a few strips make a frame for your home-made Advent calendar – and the excitement starts while you're still building it.
• For money gifts: a short strip cut to size and lettered turns a banknote into a lovingly designed surprise.
• As decoration in a shop or café: lettered wooden strips used as price tags or signs bring a natural, consistent look to your counter and shelves – quick to make and easy to relabel at any time.
• For model making and repairs: the 5 mm strips can be sawn and glued precisely when you need sturdy, lightweight parts.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made from several thin layers of wood glued together crosswise – which is why it warps far less than solid wood of the same thickness. For you, that means even narrow, long strips keep their shape and are well suited to craft projects where straight edges matter.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the untreated strips somewhere dry and they'll keep their good shape for a long time. If you paint, oil or varnish them, you'll give the surface extra protection and give your project exactly the look you have in mind.

Frequently asked questions

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

Do all the strips look the same? No. Wood is a natural material: shade and grain vary, and small knots are normal. That's exactly what makes every strip unique.

How wide are the strips exactly? The width is approx. 3.0–3.4 cm – as these are clearance cuts it may vary slightly, while the length (100 cm) and thickness (5 mm) stay the same.

Can I cut the strips to size myself? Yes. The 5 mm poplar plywood is easy to saw and work with using standard craft tools.

In the end, it's not about a wooden strip. It's about the moment a few simple strips become something of your own – a calendar, a sign, a gift with a personal touch. Just choose the quantity that suits your project and get started – the plywood strips are available at Bütic while clearance stocks last.
