Wooden hiking rucksack V1 for crafts – choose 5 to 50 cm

Your nursery needs decorations for its hiking day. The window of a sports shop should say outings and nature. Or you need a motif for the invitations to your next mountain tour. With this wooden rucksack cutout, you already have the right shape in your hands. It's made for your next craft idea. The silhouette looks like a classic hiking rucksack. It brings an outdoor mood to tables, counters and pinboards straight away.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or lettering right away. The poplar plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well.
• Your decorations look neatly made, not wobbly and home-made. That's thanks to the smooth laser-cut edges. They have the typical brown rim, which gives every motif a fine outline.
• You get exactly the size your project needs. Choose from 5 cm for gift tags up to 50 cm for the shop window, in 1 cm steps.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. The cutout comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You're holding a piece of natural material, not a plastic part. Each one has its own grain. It's made in our own production in Pößneck.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference in everyday life

A wooden figure you've designed yourself feels different from printed decorations. It's warmer, calmer and more personal. On a gift, on a child's bedroom wall or in a shop, the rucksack motif speaks of setting off, hiking and time outdoors. It does that before you've made a single brushstroke. And because you choose the size and design yourself, the result really suits your occasion.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm poplar plywood and is laser-cut. That's why it has clean, smooth edges and the characteristic brown rim. The wood is left natural. It is neither varnished nor glazed. So you can paint, oil, cover or decorate it as you like. Wood is a purely natural material. Colour, grain, small knots and fine textures vary slightly from piece to piece. This isn't a flaw. It makes every cutout one of a kind.

Good to know about the rucksack

Rucksack is one of the few German words that has passed into English unchanged. People understand "rucksack" in London and New York too. The motif has always stood for setting off, wanderlust and independence. That's why it suits decorations around hiking, sport, leisure and trips into nature so well.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. The plywood is untreated, so it's best kept dry and away from constant moisture. You can finish the surface as you like with paint, a glaze or a little oil. That way your decorations stay looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the cutout? Yes. The wood is untreated. You can paint, oil, cover or decorate it in other ways.

Why is the edge brown? The cutout is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim. The process also gives smooth, clean edges.

How wide is the rucksack at the height I choose? For reference: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 7 cm. The proportions stay the same across all sizes.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and occasionally small knots. That's exactly what makes each piece unique.

Where is the cutout made? In our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

A piece of plywood is only the start. What counts is the moment a simple shape becomes your idea. Painted, lettered and placed exactly where it brings joy. Just choose your size and quantity. You design the rest.
