DIY Cat Marquetry Kit

9 900 Ft

Create your own cat picture from natural wood veneer. Discover the craft of marquetry and assemble a charming cat picture at home — as you fit the pieces together, the design takes shape through the colours and grain of real wood. Place the finished artwork in the included frame for a personal decoration or a handmade gift.

Picture size

9 × 15 cm

What is included

Picture frame; base pattern; transparent self-adhesive film; 17 pre-cut wood veneer pieces in numbered packs; a numbered assembly diagram and Hungarian-language instructions. In addition to the 17 design pieces, the kit includes 1 base and its self-adhesive film.

How to make your cat picture

Sort the pieces by their pack numbers, then prepare the base with the self-adhesive film. Use the numbered diagram and the shapes of the pieces to position each veneer element, press them gently onto the film, then place the completed picture in the frame. A few small bowls are useful for organising the pieces.

Natural material, individual character

Wood grain and colour may vary from the photographs — these natural differences give each finished picture its own character. Made in Hungary by Intarzia Műhely in Tét.

Care during assembly

The kit contains small parts. If you use a craft knife to position the pieces, handle it carefully. Children should work under adult supervision. The craft knife is sold separately.
