Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

A shape with a link to home always tells a little story. It might be the state you grew up in, your new place to live, or the region of a club or business. With the finished outline in your hand, you no longer have to saw anything out. You only have to design it. A plain piece of fibreboard becomes a personal decoration that people recognise straight away and love to give as a gift.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm thick high-density HDF/MDF fibreboard. It is sturdy enough for wall decorations, model making and craft projects. At the same time, it is easy to work with. Laser cutting gives smooth edges and a clean finish. Fibreboard is made from pressed wood fibres. So the fibres vary in shade and may show small irregularities. This is not a defect. It makes every piece unique. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia/Germany. We make it after you order, in exactly the size you choose.

How to use the MDF cutout

• For the wall in your hallway or living room: paint several states in different colours and put them together to form a map of Germany. The colourful outlines make the map easy to read at a glance. Visitors will want to take a closer look.
• Crafting with children: everyone decorates their own state. And along the way, everyone learns where North Rhine-Westphalia is on the map.
• In model making: use the clear state outline as a base shape for dioramas or display boards. You don't have to cut out a template yourself.

Good to know about North Rhine-Westphalia

North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany's most populous state. So many people see its outline as a piece of home. That is why the shape works so well for personal gifts, keepsakes for a move or decorations with a regional link.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. The board is untreated, so it's best to store it somewhere dry and keep it away from constant moisture. A coat of paint or a glaze of your choice adds extra protection to the surface. This keeps your piece looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the cutout? Yes. The board is untreated and left natural. You can paint it, glue things onto it, decorate it and design it just the way you like.

How tall is the cutout at a given width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 9.5 cm. All other sizes keep the same proportions.

Why doesn't the surface look the same everywhere? HDF boards are made from pressed wood fibres. These can vary in shade and show small irregularities. This is exactly what makes every piece unique.

Can I return the item? No. The cutout is made after you order, in the size you choose. It is therefore excluded from returns.

This fibreboard is made for one moment. Someone holds the painted outline and says straight away: “That's my home!” Just choose your width and quantity. You design the rest.
