Wooden cloud, black – plywood cutout for crafts

This year you want to make the Advent calendar yourself. The birthday card should be something special. And your craft table is still missing the motif that ties it all together. This black wooden cloud is made for exactly that. It's a laser-cut plywood cutout. You get it in widths from 3 to 50 cm, in exactly the size your project needs. That way, an idea turns into a finished piece faster – one you can look forward to.

What changes for you

• You get exactly the size that suits your project. The cloud is available in widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start straight away, with no sanding or finishing. The edges are laser-cut, smooth and precisely sized.
• Your motif looks finished at the front and stays open for your ideas at the back. The front is stained black. The back is left natural for painting, writing on or sticking things to.
• You can plan larger projects without stress. Order the cloud individually or as a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• What you're holding is a piece of honest craftsmanship, made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden cloud makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-cut motif takes the tedious prep work out of your craft afternoon. No tracing, no sawing, no sanding. The cloud is simply ready when the children, your guests or you want to get started. And the result looks planned, not improvised. That turns a vague decorating idea into a project that actually gets finished.

Material & finish

The cloud is made of 3 mm plywood. It's light enough to hang up or glue on, yet keeps its shape. The black stain on the front is applied carefully. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots show through. That's what makes each piece unique. Laser cutting creates the typical brown edge, which frames the shape cleanly. Wood is a natural material. Variations in shade, texture and small irregularities in the grain are not a flaw. They make every cloud one of a kind.

How to use the wooden cloud

• Crafting with children: each child paints the natural back of their own cloud. In the end, a whole family of clouds hangs in the children's room.
• For money gifts: attach a banknote behind the cloud or arrange it on top. An envelope becomes a gift people remember.
• Making Christmas decorations: small clouds go on homemade Christmas cards or on the Advent calendar. Every little door gets its own motif.
• As wall decoration: hang several sizes staggered above the changing table or bed. The wall tells a little story of the sky.
• In a café, shop or at the weekly market: write on the black front with a chalk marker. The cloud becomes a reusable price tag or sign. Quick to update, neatly presented.

Good to know about the cloud

"On cloud nine" – hardly any motif stands for happiness, dreams and lightness as naturally as the cloud. So it doesn't just suit the children's room. It also works for a birth, christening or wedding, and wherever you want to capture a special moment.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth. The back is untreated, so the cloud is best kept in dry indoor spaces. Avoid lasting moisture. That way, the black surface stays even for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or write on the cloud? Yes. The back is left natural and untreated. It's ideal for painting, writing on or sticking things to. The black front works well with light-coloured pens, such as chalk markers.

Why does the cloud have a brown edge? The clouds are laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge. It's part of the process and also gives you smooth, clean edges with no extra finishing.

Are the grain or small knots a flaw? No. Wood is a natural material and always varies in shade and texture. Depending on the light, the grain and knots show through the black stain. That makes every cloud one of a kind.

How tall is the cloud at my chosen width? The proportions stay the same. At a width of 10 cm, the height is 5.5 cm. From this you can work out the height for any other width.

Are both sides stained? No, only the front is stained black. The back is deliberately left natural so you can design it freely.

What counts is the moment you hand over your handmade gift. Or the moment the finished decoration hangs on the wall for the first time. And you think: that's exactly how it should look. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
