Dark red rounded wooden square – birch plywood, 3–50 cm

The invitations are out, but the table decorations are still missing. You're looking for something that adds colour to the table without being loud. This dark red wooden square is made for exactly that. It's a wooden cutout in 3mm birch plywood, painted on both sides. Use it as table scatter, as a base for place cards or as craft material. Lay it on the table, write a name on it or glue it into your project – and your idea becomes something you can see.

What changes for you

• Your table gets some colour without much decorating. Simply lay the dark red square down as table scatter or as a mat.
• You get exactly the size your project needs. Each square is cut to size, from 3 to 50cm in 1cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away, with no sanding or finishing. The square is laser-cut and has smooth, accurate edges.
• You can write and paint on it directly. The surface is painted on both sides and gives your pen and brush an even base.
• You're holding a piece of nature, not a uniform material. The grain and small knots stay visible under the satin lacquer. That makes every square one of a kind.

Why this wooden square makes a difference in everyday life

Paper decorations can easily look random. Dark red wood adds depth and warmth to your design instead. Use it on a festive table, in a craft project with the kids or as a label at a market stall. The square fits in quietly and draws the eye where you want it. And because you choose the size, it adapts to your plans – not the other way round.

Material & finish

The square is made from 3mm birch plywood and cut with a laser. This gives clean, precise edges without splintering. Here at Bütic, we paint the raw sheets in colour on both sides ourselves, in our own production in Pößneck. On top comes a clear, satin, water-based lacquer. The natural wood grain and small knots stay visible. This isn't a flaw. It's the mark of a genuine natural material, and it makes every piece unique.

How to use the wooden square

• At a family meal: scatter a few small squares between plates and candles. With just a few touches, the table looks lovingly laid.
• On a craft afternoon: the kids paint the squares and stick things on them. In the end, the homemade decorations hang in the window instead of sitting in a cupboard.
• As a place card or tag: write a name on the painted surface with a pen. Every guest finds their seat and takes home a small keepsake.
• In a café or at a market stall: use it as a writable sign for varieties and prices. It looks uniform, is quick to swap and is tidier than paper notes.
• For your DIY project: use it as a coloured base, a spacer or a base plate, cut to your size. You can carry on building straight away instead of cutting it yourself first.

Good to know about birch plywood

Plywood is made from several layers of wood glued crosswise. This keeps it stable and resistant to warping, even when thin. That's why 3mm birch plywood is so good for crafting, gluing and labelling. It's light enough to hang up. And it's still stable enough to keep its shape in decorating projects.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or write on the square? Yes. The surface is painted on both sides and works well as a base for painting and writing – for place cards, signs or craft projects, for example.

Do all the squares look the same? No. Wood is a purely natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That's exactly what makes every square one of a kind.

How do I choose the right size? Height and width are always the same. If you choose 10cm, for example, you get a square of 10 x 10cm. All sizes from 3 to 50cm are available in 1cm steps.

Is the square painted on both sides? Yes. Both sides are painted in colour and also sealed with a clear, satin, water-based lacquer. So you can show either side.

A birch plywood cutout is where your idea starts to take shape. On the laid table, in a craft project or at the shop counter. Just choose your size and quantity. You do the rest.
