Felt gingerbread man Christmas decoration – grey, 3–60 cm

The Advent coffee table is laid and the candles are lit. But there's no gingerbread-shaped decoration on the table yet. A felt gingerbread man in calm grey fills that gap. Use it as a place mat, coaster or window decoration. It brings a festive shape into your home without being bright or loud. It suits a simple Scandinavian-style Christmas decoration. You choose the height freely from 3 to 60 cm. So it fits anywhere, from next to a tealight to a large wall decoration.

What changes for you

• Your table looks lovingly decorated for Advent without much effort. One motif at each place is enough, because the clear gingerbread shape speaks for itself.
• You protect your table and counter at the same time. In smaller sizes, the figure works as a coaster for glasses and cups, thanks to its thickness of approx. 2.5–3 mm.
• You can start crafting straight away with no preparation. The laser cut seals the edges, so nothing frays and nothing needs trimming.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. You order the height in 1 cm steps between 3 and 60 cm – from gift tag to window decoration.
• Larger projects are easy to kit out too. The figure is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this felt gingerbread man makes a difference in everyday use

Christmas decorations don't need glitter to create a festive mood. The soft grey stays in the background and lets candles, fir branches and biscuits stand out. The room feels calm and tidy. Felt is also pleasant to the touch. It doesn't stick out stiffly but lies snugly on the table, windowsill or wall. The result doesn't look kitschy, even after the holidays.

Material & finish

The gingerbread man is made of 100 % polyester felt with a thickness of approx. 2.5–3 mm. It's firm enough to give a stable base as a coaster. And it's soft enough to protect surfaces. Every cutout is laser-cut in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck. This seals the edges and leaves them clean. So the figure keeps its shape, even if you decorate with it often.

• Making Christmas decorations with children: paint, embroider or stick things onto the figures. The sealed edges can handle small crafting hands too.
• On a present: tie a mini figure onto the ribbon as a tag. The parcel looks personal, and you don't need to buy separate tags.
