Easter eggs to craft – birch plywood set, 7 cm and 10 cm

The first branches are in the vase, and spring is slowly arriving outside. All that's missing now are the decorations for your Easter tree. With this birch plywood Easter egg set, you make them yourself. Paint, stick and decorate – just as you like, made for your spring branches. Soon your branches will carry Easter decorations that nobody else has in exactly the same way.

What changes for you

• You make your own Easter decorations instead of buying ready-made ones. The birch wood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on, apply a coat or oil it.
• You can craft at ease with children too. The edges are smooth, cleanly laser-cut and free of splinters.
• Your Easter tree gets more variety. There are 15 different motifs, and you can order each one separately.
• You'll find the right size for every branch. The eggs come in 7 cm and 10 cm total height.
• Hang the finished eggs wherever you'd like a touch of spring. They work in the living room just as well as at the shop counter or in the shop window.

Why this Easter egg set makes a difference at home

Homemade Easter decorations say more than shop-bought ones. Each egg shows your own hand – or the little hands that helped with the crafting. When the painted wooden eggs hang on the branches, the room fills with a calm, natural spring feeling. It brings joy year after year. And because wood lasts, you can bring out your homemade decorations again in the years to come.

Material & finish

The birch plywood is light and pleasantly smooth in your hand. The eggs are laser-cut in Bütic's own production in Pößneck. That's where the typical brown edge comes from, along with the clean, smooth edges that give the motifs a fine, clear outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue and oil well. As a purely natural material, birch has lighter and darker grain and may show small irregularities. This makes every piece one of a kind and is not a flaw.

How to use the Easter egg set

• Crafting with children at the kitchen table: each child paints their own egg. And they're visibly proud when it later hangs on the Easter tree.
• As Easter tree decorations in the living room: a few decorated eggs on fresh branches, and the room instantly feels like spring. It takes very little effort.
• As a small gift: a hand-decorated wooden egg on a present or in an Easter basket. It's more personal than any shop-bought card.
• In a bakery, café or shop: the eggs hang at the counter or in the window. They get your customers into the Easter mood as soon as they walk in. They're quick to hang up and can be reused every year.

Good to know about the Easter egg

For centuries, the egg has been a symbol of new life and the start of spring. That's why decorated eggs traditionally adorn the Easter tree. With wooden eggs, you carry on this custom in a lasting way. Unlike dyed eggshells, they survive being stored away and can be used again every year.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. After Easter, store the wooden eggs somewhere dry and keep the untreated birch wood away from constant moisture. That way your homemade pieces keep their shape and colour for a long time. You can choose a protective finish yourself while decorating, for example by painting or oiling.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the birch plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, stick things on, apply a coat or oil it straight away.

Where does the brown edge come from? The eggs are laser-cut. The brown edge forms naturally in the process and is typical of this cutting method. The edges are smooth and clean.

Is the set suitable for crafting with children? Yes. The smooth edges and the light, 3 mm thick wood make painting and decorating easy for little hands too.

Why does each egg look slightly different? Wood is a purely natural material with lighter and darker grain and small irregularities. This makes every piece unique.

What you really get is more than plywood and motifs. It's an afternoon of painting and laughing at the kitchen table. And an Easter tree that everyone is a little proud of afterwards. Just choose your motif and size and get started.
