What changes for you

• You can bring your craft idea to life without cutting or sanding. Every cloud is laser-cut, with smooth edges and an accurate shape.
• You'll find exactly the size your project needs. Choose any width from 1 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can decorate the back just the way you like. It is left natural and untreated. That makes it ideal for painting and writing on.
• You'll have plenty to hand for bigger projects. The clouds come in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You get a piece with character. Depending on the light, the wood grain shows through the black stain. So the natural material stays visible.

Why these wooden clouds make a difference every day

Black wooden clouds can hang on the nursery wall or in the window. They can also lie on the laid table. The dark colour and curved shape look calm and graphic at the same time. The black-stained plywood feels smooth. The grain shows only as a fine pattern beneath the surface. And because the shape is simple, it works all year round. Use it for spring crafts or for Christmas decorations you make yourself.

Material & finish

Each cloud is made of 3 mm thick plywood. It is laser-cut in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck. That's where the typical brown edge comes from. It gives the shape a fine outline. The black stain on the front is applied with care. Depending on the light, you can see grain and small knots. This is not a flaw. It is the sign of a real natural material. Every piece is unique. The back is left natural and untreated. You can paint it or stick things on it as you like.

Good to know about the cloud

The cloud has always stood for lightness, dreaming and a sense of security. That's why it is one of the most popular motifs in nurseries and on cards for a new baby. In black, it looks modern and graphic. So it also suits Scandinavian-inspired decorations and simple wall designs.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. An occasional dry dusting is enough. Avoid constant damp and wet, as wood is a natural material. This way, the clouds keep their shape and colour for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the clouds have a brown edge? The clouds are laser-cut. The brown edge forms naturally during cutting. It is typical of laser-cut wooden cutouts.

Can I paint the clouds? Yes. The back is left natural and untreated. It is well suited to painting, writing on or sticking things on.

How tall is a cloud? The height depends on the width. Simply multiply the width by 0.575. So a cloud 10 cm wide is 5.75 cm tall.

Do all the clouds look the same? The shape is accurate to size. The wood underneath is still a natural material. Grain, shade and small knots can vary. Every piece is unique.

Are both sides black? No, only the front has a black stain. The back is left natural. That's handy if you want to decorate it yourself.

Plywood and centimetres are just the materials. What matters is the moment the home-made mobile hangs above the cot and you know: we made this together. Simply choose your size and quantity – and get started.
