Penguins in Love V2 – wooden cutout for crafts, 5–50 cm

A little Valentine's greeting, a lovingly made table decoration or a crafting afternoon with the kids – sometimes all you need is a motif that makes people smile straight away. The wooden penguin couple is just that kind of motif. Two penguins face each other, as if made for your next message from the heart. You choose the size that suits your idea – from a small gift tag to a large decoration.

What changes for you

• All that's left is to decorate the penguin couple the way you like. The finished motif arrives already cut out. So you can start painting, gluing or decorating straight away.
• You can start painting, gluing or oiling straight away. The wood is natural and untreated, so it takes any paint and any glue.
• Your motif is sure to suit your project. You choose the width freely from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps – from a hanging tag to a window decoration.
• Working with it is easy and needs no finishing. The laser-cut edges are smooth. Faces and outlines are already marked with laser-scored lines.
• You save money on bigger projects. The penguins are available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference in everyday life

A shop-bought card is soon forgotten. A wooden piece you've decorated yourself stays on display and stays in your memory. With the penguin couple, a small idea becomes something you can hold. It can be a message on a present, a decoration on the laid table or a craft project children are proud of. Natural wood also has a calm look that printed decorations don't have.

Material & finish

The penguin couple is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which adds depth and outline to the motif. The top side has fine laser-scored lines for the faces and details. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained. So you can paint, oil or glue it as you like. As a natural material, wood is never completely even. Different shades, fine textures in the grain and small knots are part of it and make every piece one of a kind. Every couple is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the penguin

Penguins are seen as a symbol of faithfulness. In some species, giving the partner a particularly nice pebble is part of courtship. That's why the penguin couple in love suits Valentine's Day, weddings and anniversaries so well – as a small message in wood that doesn't need many words.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do: just dust it with a dry cloth when needed. As the wood is untreated, keep it away from constant moisture. If you paint or oil it, the surface becomes more resistant. And you decide the look yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the penguins or glue things on them? Yes. The wood is completely untreated. You can paint it, oil it, glue things on or decorate it in other ways.

Why does the motif have a brown edge? It's the typical edge that forms during laser cutting. It gives the motif a clear outline and is part of every laser-cut piece.

Are both sides decorated? No. The faces and outlines are marked with laser-scored lines on the top side. The underside is left natural.

Does every piece look the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it shows different shades, fine grain and sometimes small knots. Every couple is one of a kind.

Is the motif suitable for crafting with children? Yes. The laser-cut edges are smooth and the motif is already cut to shape. It's ideal for painting and decorating together.

With this cutout you create a moment. Your favourite person spots the two penguins and knows straight away that you were thinking of them. Just choose your size – single or in a set – and make your own little declaration of love in wood.
