Wooden square lacquered on both sides – 10 cm, birch plywood

The craft table is set with pens, glue and good ideas. All that's missing is a flat surface to work on. That's exactly what this wooden square is made for on your next crafting afternoon. It's a wooden square in birch plywood, lacquered on both sides, with rounded corners. It measures 10 cm and is ready for writing, painting or sticking things on. A simple basic shape becomes a place card, a tag or part of your new decorations.

Why this wooden square makes a difference in everyday life

Many craft ideas don't fail because of the idea. They fail because of the material: crooked edges, rough surfaces, uneven cutouts. With an accurate, flat surface, writing and painting work first time. When several squares lie side by side, they look calm and uniform. Crafting is more fun, and you can be proud of the result.

Material & finish

The square is made from 3 mm birch plywood and laser cut. This gives smooth edges and a clean, precise finish. It is made in Thuringia, Germany. The lacquer is applied on both sides and chosen so that the grain and knots stay visible. The wood looks natural and alive rather than plasticky. The colour "natural" uses a clear lacquer. Wood is a natural material, so each square varies slightly in shade and shows its own patterns. That's not a flaw. It's what makes every piece unique.

How to use the wooden square

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own square. At the end of the afternoon, everyone proudly holds a little work of art.
• For a festive table: write a name on each one and put it at every place. Your guests find their seat at a lovingly laid table.
• Making Christmas decorations: painted or decorated with motifs, the squares become hanging ornaments for branches, presents or the window.
• Making an Advent calendar: number 24 squares, hang them up or tie them to little bags. Your countdown to Christmas Eve gets a uniform look.
• Crafting money gifts: use the square as a sturdy base for a banknote, a bow and a message. Even a gift of money looks individually made.
• For game ideas: write letters or symbols on them to make tile games that last many rounds.
• In a café, at the market or in shop displays: they're quick to use as writable signs for prices and products. Your counter looks tidy and uniform.

Good to know about birch plywood

Plywood is made of several layers of wood glued crosswise. This makes it much more stable than a plain board of the same thickness, and it hardly warps. That's why the 3 mm squares are so easy to craft with. They stay flat, are easy to stick things on and add hardly any bulk.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the squares somewhere dry and simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth. Avoid constant moisture. Then the wood and lacquer will look well kept for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I write on and paint the wooden square? Yes. The square shape gives you a flat surface for writing, painting and sticking things on, for example for place cards, tags or tile games.

Does every square look the same? No. Wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. The lacquer deliberately lets these patterns show through.

What does the colour "natural" mean? In this version the square is treated with clear lacquer. The light birch colour stays visible.

Do I need to sand the edges? No. Thanks to laser cutting, the edges are smooth and accurate. You can get started straight away.

This is more than a piece of lacquered birch plywood. It's about the afternoon when a few squares, colours and ideas turn into something you'd like to give away or hang up. Just choose your favourite colour and the right quantity. At Bütic you'll find the square singly or in a set.
