Crafting with cardboard – diver silhouette, 5–50 cm

The invitations to the diving certificate party have gone out. The table is laid. Now you just need the motif that ties it all together. The cardboard diver is a silhouette for crafts and decorating. Paint it, stick things on it or simply use it as it is. From small place cards to large wall pictures, it works at every spot of your underwater party.

What changes for you

• You get the motif in exactly the size you want. The diver can be ordered from 5 to 50 cm wide in 1 cm steps.
• Your paints and papers stay neat. The smooth, untreated surface can be painted, covered with paper and varnished.
• Crafting with children stays relaxed. The solid board keeps its shape and doesn't bend every time it's handled.
• Your decorations look planned rather than thrown together. The brown laser-cut edges give every cutout a clear, clean outline.
• You can decorate with a clear conscience. The bookbinding board is made from 100 % recycled material.

Why this diver silhouette makes a difference

A recurring motif links separate decorating ideas into one theme. The same diver on the place card, the present and the garland runs through your party like a common thread. The silhouette is untreated, so you can design it as you like. Go nautical in blue or leave it plain and natural. The result is decor that looks like you, not like something off the shelf.

Material & finish

The diver is laser cut from 1.2 mm bookbinding board. This solid board weighs 755 g/m². It feels much stiffer than thin craft card and keeps larger sizes stable too. The surface is smooth. The laser turns the edges brown and leaves them clean. You can cover, paint or varnish the untreated board. It takes paint well. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the cardboard diver

• To celebrate a diving certificate: put a small diver with a name at every place. Your guests will find their seats with a smile.
• As a gift tag: on a present for an underwater sports fan, the silhouette shows before unwrapping that you've put some thought into it.
• Crafting with children: each child paints their own snorkeller. In the end, a whole group of divers swims through the children's room as a garland.
• For a wedding, birthday, engagement or Valentine's Day with a nautical theme: spread divers in different sizes across the buffet. The theme of your party is clear at a glance.
• In a shop or at a diving school: put large cutouts up to 50 cm wide in the window or on the counter. They're quick to put up and give you a tidy, themed display with little effort.

Good to know about the diver

In German, the word “Froschmann” (frogman) for a diver in a suit and fins is firmly established. No wonder, as the silhouette with fins looks like a swimming frog. This distinctive shape makes the motif ideal for decorating. It is recognised straight away, even small as a place card or gift tag.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Store the cutouts dry and flat, and they will stay flat and in shape. The board is untreated, so keep it away from moisture. If you want to make the diver more weather-resistant, simply varnish it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the diver or stick things on it? Yes. The untreated bookbinding board can be covered, painted and varnished. The smooth surface takes paint well.

How tall is the diver at a given width? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, it is 3.5 cm tall. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Why are the edges brown? The cutouts are laser cut. This creates the typical brown edges, which give the motif a clear outline.

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

Is the diver suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, the board is meant for dry places. For outdoor use, we recommend a coat of varnish for protection.

What matters most is the moment your guests spot the little divers at their places. They know straight away that this was prepared with love. Just choose your size and quantity. You design the rest.
