Trojan horse craft – plywood wooden cutout

A school project on Greek myths, a themed evening at your club, or you simply want to make a Trojan horse. With this laser-cut wooden cutout, the motif is ready in your hands. You can start straight away with paint, glue and ideas. The untreated plywood is made for your craft table. You get to decorate instead of sawing it out yourself.

What changes for you

• You can start decorating right away instead of sawing. The horse arrives laser-cut with smooth edges.
• Paint it, decorate it or oil it, just as you like. The untreated wood in its natural state takes paint and glue well.
• You get exactly the size your project needs. Choose from 3 cm for table scatter to 50 cm for a shelf wall, in 1 cm steps.
• Kitting out larger groups is easy. With sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, one order covers a whole class or a craft afternoon.

Why this Trojan horse makes a difference

A ready-made blank takes care of the hardest part. The motif is cut, the shape is right, and you can focus on decorating. When crafting with children, this leaves more time for colour and imagination. At the end, you have a piece on the table that really looks like Troy. On a shelf or windowsill, the clear silhouette works as decoration on its own. The plywood stays visible and keeps the look calm.

Material & finish

The horse is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the typical brown edge, which gives the outline a fine line. The edges are smooth and cleanly finished. It feels nice in your hand and is ready to use without any sanding. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So it is open to anything: painting, decorating, oiling. As a natural material, it shows different shades, fine grain patterns and the occasional small knot. This is not a flaw. It is what makes each piece unique. The cutout is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the Trojan horse

• For a school project on ancient history: each child paints their own horse. The legend of Troy becomes something to hold, not just something to read.
• For a craft afternoon with children: put paints, brushes and a few blanks on the table. Every finished horse goes home with a proud owner.
• As a money gift: stick notes or coins onto the horse. It is a gift with a wink that people will remember.
• As decoration on a shelf or windowsill: oil the natural wood silhouette to bring out the grain. Or paint it in your own style.
• In a shop or at a market: in a window or counter display, the motif tells a little story. At up to 50 cm high, it is easy to see.

Good to know about the Trojan horse

According to legend, the Greeks conquered Troy with a wooden horse. Since Homer's Odyssey, it has been one of the best-known motifs of the ancient world. To this day, it stands for a trick that works from the inside. That is why the cutout suits school projects, themed parties and gifts with a little story behind them.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. The untreated plywood is best kept indoors. Keep it away from constant moisture. If you paint or oil it, you protect the surface and choose the look at the same time.
