Why this cardboard cutout makes a difference in everyday life

Homemade decorations feel different from shop-bought ones. They are more personal, made with love and suit the occasion better. With a ready-made cutout, you skip the tedious cutting out. You go straight to the fun part: decorating. Whether at the craft table with children or while preparing a party, you quickly have a result you can be proud of.

Material & finish

The solid bookbinding board has a weight of 755g/m². It feels pleasantly sturdy in your hand. It doesn't warp as easily as thin paper when you paint it. The surface is smooth and takes paint, glue and varnish well. The brown, laser-cut edges give the symbol a clear, clean finish. Every cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• As a door sign: varnish it once and fix it to the ladies' toilet or cloakroom. Your guests find their way straight away.
• In a café or restaurant: designed as a sign for doors and cloakrooms, it matches the style of your venue instead of a standard off-the-shelf sign.
• For a wedding, engagement or Valentine's Day: decorate it with paint, glitter or decoupage. The plain cutout becomes a personal decoration on the table.

Good to know about the female symbol

The sign for femininity goes back to the astronomical symbol of the planet Venus. It is traditionally seen as the hand mirror of the Roman goddess. This symbol with its long history suits a baby shower or a girl's birthday. It also works for activities around Mother's Day or International Women's Day.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the board in a dry place and keep it away from lasting moisture. That way it keeps its shape and strength. A coat of paint or varnish makes the surface more resistant. So your decoration stays looking good for a long time.
