Halloween decoration ghosts made of wood – coloured, 10–50 cm

Two more weeks until Halloween. The children talk about nothing else. And the window facing the street is still empty. With the coloured wooden ghosts from Bütic, a little haunting moves in with you. These are laser-cut plywood ghosts. You choose the size and colour of each one, so they fit your windowsill. A few cutouts become a Halloween decoration that builds a little more excitement every day.

What changes for you

• Your window, table or buffet gets a Halloween mood straight away. You don't need to spend long crafting. The ghosts are already laser-cut to shape and stained in colour.
• You design your decoration exactly the way you want it. The height can be chosen from 10 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. Several colours are available.
• You can relax and start crafting with children. The stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• The natural back gives you free space for painting and writing. This is ideal when every child wants to design their own ghost.
• Your decoration looks neatly made rather than home-made. That is thanks to the precise laser cut with smooth edges.

Why these wooden ghosts make a difference in everyday life

Paper decorations crease. Plastic ghosts quickly look generic. A wooden ghost sits firmly in your hand and lasts for many autumns. Depending on the light, the grain and small knots still show through the stain. So the wood structure stays visible. Line them up in the window, use them as table scatter or place them on the buffet. The little ghosts bring atmosphere to the room without being overbearing.

Material & finish

The ghosts are made of 3 mm plywood. They are laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck. That is where the typical brown edge on every shape comes from. The front is colour-stained. The back stays natural and untreated, so you can paint it or stick things on as you like. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade varies, and it can show small irregularities in the grain or knots. This makes every piece one of a kind, not faulty.

How to use the wooden ghosts

• In the window facing the street: Stand or hang a few ghosts in different sizes. The neighbours' children will stop on their way to school.
• Crafting with children: Each child paints the natural back of their ghost. In the end, everyone has their very own Halloween keepsake.
• At a Halloween party: Use small ghosts as place decorations or spread them between pumpkins on the table. Your guests have something to discover before the first snack.
• In a café or bakery: Put a large ghost in the window display and small ones on the counter. The seasonal decoration is set up in a few minutes. After Halloween you simply store it away and use it again next year.
• As a gift tag or small present: Attach a little ghost to an autumn surprise. It's a detail people remember.

Good to know about the ghost

The ghost is one of the oldest Halloween motifs. The festival goes back to the Celtic Samhain. People believed that the spirits of the dead roamed about on the night before 1 November. That is why the classic ghost suits more than a Halloween party. It also works as autumn window and table decoration as the days grow darker.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth. The back is untreated and wood is a natural material. So it's best to store the ghosts in a dry place and avoid lasting damp. That way the colour and shape last for many years.

Frequently asked questions

Is the stain suitable for children? Yes, the stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3. This makes it ideal for crafting with children too.

Are both sides coloured? No, only the front is stained. The back is natural and untreated. You can paint it yourself or leave it natural.

Why does the ghost have a brown edge? The cutouts are laser-cut. The dark edge forms naturally in the process. The laser also gives smooth, precise edges.
