The invitations are sent and the bunting is up. Now all that's missing is a cloud above the gift table. These cardboard clouds are blanks you can design exactly the way that suits your celebration.

• You'll find the right size for every project, from a small table scatter piece to a large single cloud. You choose the width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• No more tedious cutting by hand. The clouds arrive cleanly laser-cut, all in the same shape.
• You can craft with a clear conscience. The board is made from 100% recycled material and produced in Thuringia.

Why these cardboard clouds make a difference

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. Clouds you design yourself tell your own story. Hang them as a mobile above the changing table. Use them as a photo backdrop for a birthday. Or let them carry lettering for an engagement. You decide on the colour, the lettering and the arrangement. The room then has exactly the mood you pictured. All the clouds have the same shape. So the result looks calm and consistent, even if you combine lots of sizes.

Material & finish

The clouds are made from solid board in bookbinding quality. This is the sturdy material traditionally used for book covers. The surface is smooth, so paint, pens and glue stick well. Laser cutting leaves the edges brown and gives every cutout a clean, clearly defined outline. Because the board is untreated, it reliably takes acrylic, watercolour or varnish. The clouds are made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia. They are made from 100% recycled material.

How to use the cardboard clouds

• Crafting with children: paint the clouds, stick cotton wool on them and hang them up. Now a homemade sky floats above the cot.
• For a wedding or engagement: each cloud carries a name or a wish. The single cutouts become a personalised garland for the happy couple.
• For a birthday: one large cloud with a number, small clouds around it. In just a few minutes, the gift table has a clear centrepiece.
• For Valentine's Day: a cloud with a message as a gift tag. Your message arrives before the present is even unwrapped.
• In a shop window or shop: hang clouds in several sizes at different heights. Your seasonal display is quick to put up, light and easy to take down again.

Good to know about the cloud

When you're in love or simply very happy, you're said to be "on cloud nine". In German, people say "on cloud seven". The saying goes back to old ideas of the seventh heaven as the highest place of happiness. That's why the cloud motif suits weddings, engagements and Valentine's Day so well. It also suits any occasion centred on dreams and wishes, from a baby shower to the first day at school.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the untreated board in a dry place and keep it away from lasting damp. Then it keeps its shape and stiffness. Once designed and hung up indoors, your decorations will last a long time.
