Penguins in love V1 – wooden silhouette for crafts, 5–50 cm

Valentine's Day is just a few days away. You're looking for a small gift that doesn't look bought, but truly meant. Two wooden penguins in love, beak to beak. As a blank to decorate yourself, they're made for your craft idea. Painted, decorated or left natural: the simple silhouette becomes your very own sign of affection.

What changes for you

• You give something handmade instead of something random. The untreated plywood takes paint, glue, oil or decoupage.
• You'll find exactly the size that suits your idea. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your motif looks finished from the very start. The laser-cut outline has smooth edges and the typical brown rim.
• You can relax when crafting with children. The edges are smoothly laser cut, so nothing needs sanding.
• You can plan bigger projects without reordering. The penguins are available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

A gift tag you've decorated yourself. A small motif at your loved one's place at the table. Details like these change the mood more than big decorations. The warm wood brings calm and a natural feel to the table. And because you make it with your own hands, every piece holds a little bit of you. That's how a simple cutout becomes a moment to remember.

Material & finish

The penguins in love are laser cut from 3 mm plywood. That's where the precise outline, the smooth edges and the distinctive brown rim come from. The rim gives the motif depth. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. That's why it reliably takes paint and glue. As a natural material, wood is never completely uniform. Brightness and grain vary, and small knots may occur. This makes every piece one of a kind. The cutouts are made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• As table decoration for a wedding or anniversary: one motif at every place, labelled with a name. Your guests find their seat and a keepsake at the same time.

• For craft groups, schools and workshops: with a set of 25, 50 or 100, every participant gets the same blank. You save preparation time, and the results look consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the penguins? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well. You can also paint or oil it.

Why do the edges have a brown rim? The motifs are laser cut. The brown rim forms naturally in the process. It's typical of this cutting method.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape is always identical, but the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in brightness and grain. Small knots are normal. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the cutout suitable for crafting with children? Yes. The edges are smoothly laser cut, so you can start decorating straight away without sanding first.

A wooden cutout is only the beginning. What counts is the moment someone holds your hand-decorated penguin pair and realises: you really came up with this just for me. Simply choose your size and quantity. Then start creating.
