Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mainland wooden cutout – 5 to 50 cm

A school project on the map of Germany. A gift tag for someone who misses the Baltic coast. A homemade sign for the hallway. Sometimes an idea just needs the right basic shape. This wooden cutout shows the mainland of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as a clear outline of the state. It's made for your next craft project. You choose the size and reach for a brush or glue. And a piece of wood becomes your very own piece of the state.

What changes for you

• You can start decorating straight away, with no sawing or sanding. The outline is already cleanly laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project. Choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your paints, varnishes and oils adhere reliably. The wood is left untreated in its natural state. You can glue on it, paint it or oil it as you like.
• Larger projects are easy to plan. Whether for a lesson or for decorating a market stall, the sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are enough for the whole group.
• Your motif is recognisable at first glance. The clear mainland outline shows Mecklenburg-Vorpommern unmistakably.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-cut shape takes care of the most tedious part of crafting. It leaves you the best part: decorating. Instead of fiddling with a template, saw and sandpaper, you get started right away. The outline is cleanly cut and accurate. Use it as wall decor with your home town marked on it. Use it as a tag on a present. Or use it as visual material in lessons about the German states. The motif tells a story straight away.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm poplar plywood. It's light enough to hang up or glue on. It's also stable enough for painting and decorating. The laser cut gives smooth edges and the typical fine brown edge, which makes the outline stand out even more. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, oil and glue well. Wood is a purely natural material. Each piece varies in shade. Small knots or variations in the grain are normal. That's what makes every cutout one of a kind. Every piece is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia, Germany.

How to use the wooden cutout

• In the classroom: each child paints their own state for the big map of Germany on the wall. And geography suddenly becomes something you can touch.
• As a gift tag: a small cutout with a name on the parcel for friends from the north. The present is labelled and individual before it's even unwrapped.
• As wall decor: mark your home town on the outline with a dot or a small pin. You'll always have a piece of home in view, wherever you live.
• In a café or farm shop: write on the outline with a chalk marker to label regional products from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Your customers can see where they come from at a glance.
• For map projects and signs: glue things on, write on it or oil it. The blank turns into an individual door sign or a place marker for the shelf.

Good to know about Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

This cutout deliberately shows only the mainland of the state. That means the outline without the offshore Baltic islands. This makes the shape calmer and clearer, which helps when painting and writing on it. Lines run cleanly and small details don't get lost. So the simplified silhouette is especially well suited to signs, tags and map projects.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Simply store the untreated wood in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture. If you paint, oil or varnish it, you seal the surface as well. That way your project stays looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the cutout or glue things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated and in its natural state. You can paint it, oil it, glue things on it and decorate it.

How tall is the cutout at a given width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Why does the edge have a brown rim? The outline is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim, which makes the shape stand out even more. The edges are smooth.

Does every piece look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in shade. Small knots and variations in the grain are normal and make every piece one of a kind.

What really counts isn't the plywood. It's the moment someone holds the painted outline and thinks of home straight away. Just choose your size and quantity – and start creating.
