Wooden hiker for crafting and painting – 5 to 50 cm

A crafting afternoon with the kids, a money gift for a friend who loves hiking, or table decorations for a club party. Sometimes all you need is the right figure to give the whole thing a theme. This wooden hiker is made for exactly that on your craft table. It is a clear silhouette in untreated poplar plywood. You can paint it, decorate it or simply leave it natural, just as you like. A simple idea becomes something you'll be glad to give away or put on display.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting and painting straight away. The wood is untreated and takes paint, glue or oil well.
• Your figure always suits your project, from small table scatter to large wall decorations. You can choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• The figure is pleasant to work with, even with children. The laser-cut edges are smooth and need no sanding.
• You're well prepared for club parties, school projects or market stalls. With sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, you don't need to reorder one at a time.
• You give something with meaning. The silhouette can be read as a hiker, a walker or a pilgrim. It suits themes around hiking and the Camino de Santiago.

Why this wooden hiker makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations are everywhere. A figure you've designed yourself tells a story about you and the occasion. With the hiker, you give a money gift, a greetings card or a festive table a theme that everyone gets at once. The wood looks natural and warm. So the figure blends quietly into your decorations rather than taking over.

Material & finish

The hiker is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that outlines the silhouette nicely. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. The figure sits well in your hand and is safe to work with. The wood is a purely natural material. It varies in shade, has its own grain and may have small knots. That makes every piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden hiker

• Crafting with children: everyone paints their own hiker. At the end, a whole hiking group stands on the windowsill.
• Making money gifts: attach a banknote to the figure as a rucksack or a hiking map. Your gift for a completed tour or a birthday now has a story.
• For pilgrims and Camino fans: add a name and date, and the hiker becomes a keepsake of your own stage of the journey.
• At a club party: put a small figure at every place. The hiking club's table then has a shared theme without much decorating effort.
• In a shop or café on a hiking trail: the silhouette in the window or on the counter tells guests at a glance that they've come to the right place.

Good to know about the hiker

The silhouette with staff and hat recalls the classic pilgrim known from the Camino de Santiago. This pilgrimage route has led to Santiago de Compostela since the Middle Ages. So the figure works for hiking and club decorations. It also makes a keepsake or gift for anyone who has completed a pilgrimage or is about to start one.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutout in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture. The untreated wood will then keep its natural look for a long time. If you paint, oil or varnish the figure, the surface becomes more resistant – depending on your project.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood treated? No, the hiker is untreated. It is neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint, decorate, coat or oil it straight away.

Why does the figure have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. The brown edge forms naturally in the process and is part of its typical look.

Do all figures look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in shade and may show small knots or irregularities in the grain. Every piece is one of a kind.

Can I use the hiker outdoors? You should protect the untreated wood from constant moisture. For outdoor use, choose a sheltered spot or apply a protective coat.

A wooden cutout is only the start. What counts is the moment someone unwraps your handmade gift and thinks straight away of the tour you shared. Just choose your height and quantity – and get started.
