Make Christmas decorations – brown felt gingerbread man

There's a scent of cinnamon in the air. The first candle is lit. And there's still room for a figure in the window. A brown felt gingerbread man brings that cosy Christmas feeling into your home. Use it as a window decoration, as table scatter or as a tag on a present. It's made for your Advent season. Just choose the height that suits your idea and get started.

What changes for you

• Your window and your table look festive straight away, with little effort. The gingerbread figure is a finished cutout and ready to use.
• You get exactly the size you need. You can choose any height from 3 to 60 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You craft without fraying edges. The laser cut seals the edges, so they stay clean.
• You have enough material for everyone on larger projects. Sets come with 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.

Why this felt gingerbread man makes a difference in everyday use

Christmas decorations often come together along the way. An afternoon with the children. A quickly decorated window. A lovingly wrapped present. With a ready-made felt gingerbread figure, you skip the cutting out. You go straight to the fun part: decorating. The soft, matt material looks cosy and calm. It fits in with almost any Advent decoration without taking centre stage.

Material & finish

The gingerbread man is made of 100 % brown polyester felt, approx. 2.5–3 mm thick. It is firm enough to keep its shape and soft enough to feel pleasant. Every cutout is made with a laser. This seals the edges, so they don't fray. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. The clean finish is something you can see and feel.

How to use the felt gingerbread man

• Christmas crafts with children: you stick on decorations and embellish the figures at the kitchen table. By evening, your own garland is hanging in the window.
• On the Advent table: a small gingerbread man at every place. Your guests are smiling before the tea is even poured.
• On a present: instead of a bow, you tie a gingerbread figure to the parcel. The little gift looks like more, without taking you any more time.
• As a coaster: put smaller sizes under glasses and mugs. The table stays protected, and the decoration is useful too.
• In a café, a bakery or at a Christmas market stall: with a set of 25, 50 or 100 pieces, you decorate your counter and display in a uniform way. It's quick to set up. And it stays evenly stocked throughout Advent.

Good to know about the gingerbread man

Gingerbread has been part of Advent and Christmas since the Middle Ages. It was first baked in monasteries. Later, towns like Nuremberg made it famous far beyond Germany. That's why the motif instantly reminds many people of the smell of Christmas biscuits and Christmas markets. So it suits windows, tables and shop counters alike.
