A few wooden figures become your very own Halloween decorations.

Why this Halloween pumpkin makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought Halloween decorations often look the same everywhere. With a wooden blank, you make something that really suits your home. Paint it classic orange, make it spooky or keep it natural on purpose. In autumn decorations, wood looks calmer and cosier than plastic figures. And painting together quickly becomes the best part of the afternoon.

Material & finish

The pumpkin is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that neatly outlines the design. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. It feels nice in your hand and is safe for crafting with children. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. That is why it takes paint, glue and oil well. As a natural material, it shows different shades, fine grain patterns and occasionally small knots. This is not a flaw. It is what makes every piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the Halloween pumpkin

The custom of glowing pumpkin faces goes back to Irish immigrants in America. In Ireland, the faces were originally carved into turnips. Only in their new home did the pumpkin become the symbol of Halloween. The wooden pumpkin takes up exactly this motif, without carving knives or pumpkin leftovers. You create your face with a brush and paint. And next year, you can simply bring the figure out again.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep it dry and protect it from constant moisture. Then the untreated wood keeps its shape and looks good for a long time. If you paint or oil the pumpkin, the surface gets some extra protection. That way it will see you through many Halloween seasons.
