Plywood decor mystery box – surprise box of wooden cutouts

You're sitting at the craft table with your paints at the ready – but you're running out of ideas faster than you're running out of supplies. That's exactly what the surprise box is for: a mystery box packed with assorted plywood cutouts from the Bütic range, made for your craft stash. Open the box and you'll suddenly have loads of shapes in front of you to paint, craft with and decorate.

What changes for you

• You'll always have craft materials to hand whenever you or the kids feel inspired – with at least 25 to 100 pieces per box, depending on size.
• Every time you reach into the box, you'll discover something new, because the mix is made up of lots of different decorative cutouts from our range.
• You get flawless pieces at a satisfying stock-up price – these are returned or overproduced items, not faulty goods or seconds.
• You can get started straight away with brushes, pens or glue, as the cutouts are neatly finished and, at 3 mm thick, easy to handle.
• Choose the box that suits your project – from S with lots of small pieces to L with large cutouts of up to 50 cm.

Why this surprise box makes a difference in everyday life

With a well-stocked supply of plywood decorations, you don't have to go shopping for every craft idea. Whether it's a rainy Sunday afternoon with the kids, getting ready for a bazaar or putting together some last-minute table decorations – just reach into the box and get going. And along the way, you'll get to know the wide variety of plywood items without having to commit to anything in advance.

Material & finish

The cutouts are made from untreated or lacquered plywood, 3 mm thick – light enough for hanging up and crafting with, yet sturdy enough for decorations that stay out for a while. They're neatly finished, so you can paint or work with the pieces right away. Wood is a purely natural material: the shade and grain always vary slightly, and small knots are normal. That's exactly what makes every piece unique – a feature, not a flaw.

How to use the surprise box

• Craft afternoons with kids: everyone picks a shape from the box – and while the rain falls outside, colourfully painted figures take shape at the kitchen table.
• Before holidays and celebrations: pick out cutouts to suit your table, windows or gifts – and your decorations will look lovingly handmade rather than shop-bought.
• At nursery, school or craft groups: one box, lots of pieces – every child has something in their hands, without you having to buy items individually.
• In a café or at a market stall: painted wooden motifs on the counter or by the till add to your display. It takes little effort and a small budget.
• To get to know the range: one box gives you an overview of our plywood items – so for your next project, you'll know exactly what you want to reorder.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made of several layers of wood glued crosswise – which means it stays stable even when thin and hardly warps. That's exactly why the 3 mm cutouts are so good for crafting: they're easy to paint, decorate and hang up without breaking.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply store the cutouts somewhere dry and, especially with untreated plywood, keep them away from prolonged moisture. That way the pieces keep their smooth surface and you'll enjoy your stash for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose the shapes or colours? No – the fun of the mystery box is the surprise. Items and colours aren't selected, and the mix varies from box to box.

Are these seconds? No. The box contains returned or overproduced items of flawless workmanship – not faulty goods or seconds.

Can I paint the cutouts? Yes. The untreated plywood pieces in particular are easy to decorate with paints, pens or varnish; the smooth surfaces take colour cleanly.

Why do the pieces vary in shade? Wood is a natural material – the grain, colour and small knots vary from piece to piece and make each one unique.

In the end, it's not about a box full of wooden pieces. It's about the moment you lift the lid, spread the pieces out on the table – and can't decide what to start with first. Just choose your size while stocks last.
