Wooden car for crafts – red car silhouette in plywood

The envelope with money for someone who has just passed their driving test is ready. But something is still missing. A small extra that shows you have put some thought into it. A red wooden car on your card shows at a glance what it is all about. This flat car silhouette in red-stained plywood is made for greeting cards, money gifts and car-themed decorations. Glue it on, decorate it or simply lay it down.

What changes for you

• Your cards and gifts get a clear car motif with very little effort – because the silhouette comes laser-cut and already stained red on the front.
• You can craft with children. The stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• You can glue the car neatly onto cards, signs and wooden surfaces. Its smooth, precise edges let it lie flat and hold securely.
• You will find the right size for every project – from a tiny 3 cm for a place card up to 50 cm for a shop window, in 1 cm steps.
• You can design the back just the way you like. It is natural and untreated, so it is ready for painting and writing on.

Why this wooden car makes a difference in everyday life

A printed motif stays flat. A piece of real wood is something you pick up. The red silhouette sits on your card, gift or window decoration as a real piece of wood. You notice that as soon as you touch it. Instead of searching for an idea for ages, you have a finished motif that you just need to place. And your occasion gets a clear theme.

Material & finish

The car is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that frames the motif like a fine outline. The red stain is applied with care. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots still show through. This makes every piece one of a kind. It is not a flaw, it is simply part of a natural material. Only the front is stained, the back is left natural. Every car is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden car

• For a passed driving test: a small red car on the greeting card or attached to a money gift. The recipient knows at first glance what you are celebrating.
• At a children's birthday party: a car at every seat as a place card or party bag gift. The little guests have something to paint and take home straight away.
• When crafting with children: the back is untreated. Pens, paints and glitter are all welcome here, and you don't need to worry about the stain.
• In the shop window or at the counter: with sizes up to 50 cm, you can quickly decorate for vehicle themes, mobility promotions or seasonal windows with a consistent look. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 make this especially easy.
• For garages, driving schools or car dealerships: use the cars as table scatter on the reception desk or as tags when handing over keys. Your presentation looks well thought out without taking up much of your time.

Good to know about the car motif

During laser cutting, the cut edge is very slightly burnt. That is where the typical brown edge comes from. It frames the red car like a drawn outline. On cards, signs and light surfaces, this makes the motif look much more three-dimensional than a smoothly sawn cutout. That is exactly why laser-cut silhouettes are so popular for greeting cards and money gifts.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Keep the wooden car dry and away from constant moisture. Plywood is a natural material and will then look good for a long time. Used as indoor decoration, it will last for years.
