Kingfisher V2 craft silhouette in cardboard, 5–50 cm

The craft table is set: paints, brushes, maybe a few little hands that can hardly wait. All that's missing is a motif that turns the idea into something of your own. This cardboard kingfisher is made for exactly that. You choose the size and pick up your paints. Then the simple silhouette becomes your own piece of decoration to craft, paint and give away.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, gluing or varnishing right away. The untreated bookbinding board takes paint and glue directly.
• Your motif fits your project exactly, from a small card decoration to a large wall decoration. You can choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You get clean, even outlines with no need for touching up. Every kingfisher is laser-cut and has a smooth surface with brown edges.
• Your piece keeps its shape, even in children's hands. The solid board is 1.2 mm thick and weighs 755 g/m². It doesn't warp when handled.
• You can craft with a clear conscience. The board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard kingfisher makes a difference day to day

A ready-made blank takes care of the most tedious part: drawing and cutting out. You start straight with the fun part – designing, combining, hanging up. Whether you're crafting with children or decorating for a wedding or birthday, you'll quickly make something that really looks like you.

Material & finish

The solid bookbinding board feels pleasantly firm in your hand. It keeps its shape under paint, glue or varnish. This isn't thin card that ripples at the first brushstroke. The smooth surface is untreated. You can write on it, paint it, glue on it or varnish it. The laser-browned edges give each motif a calm, natural frame. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia – carefully finished, piece by piece.

How to use the cardboard kingfisher

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own bird. In the end, a small, colourful flock hangs in the nursery window.
• For a wedding or engagement: write a name on the kingfisher and it becomes a place card. Your guests can take it home as a keepsake.
• For birthdays, parties or Valentine's Day: combine several sizes on a string. Your garland above the table is ready in a few minutes.
• Card making: add a small kingfisher to a greetings card. Your message clearly stands out from shop-bought cards.
• In a café, shop or at a market stall: large silhouettes in the window or on the counter add a calm nature motif. They're quick to put up and suit any season. If you like, you can design them to match your interior.

Good to know about the kingfisher

Because of its bright blue plumage, the kingfisher is often called the "flying jewel". In many places it's seen as a lucky charm. That's why the motif suits occasions when you wish someone luck – a wedding, an engagement or a small gift for Valentine's Day.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Store the untreated board in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture. Then it will keep its shape and smooth surface for a long time. For outdoor use, we recommend sealing it, for example with varnish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the kingfisher and glue things onto it? Yes. The board is untreated and can be painted, glued and varnished. The smooth surface takes paint well.

How sturdy is the cutout? The solid bookbinding board is 1.2 mm thick and weighs 755 g/m². It's much firmer than ordinary craft card and keeps its shape while you work on it.

How do I know how wide my kingfisher will be? The width is roughly the same as the height. At 10 cm high, the bird measures 10 cm wide.

Is the material sustainable? Yes, the board is made from 100% recycled material and is produced in Thuringia.

This cardboard silhouette is the start of an afternoon. A few tubes of paint and calm hands create something that stays visible afterwards – in the window, on a card, above the party table. Just choose your size and quantity. The rest happens at home with you.
