The Advent wreath is up and the candles are lit. But the window, the gift wrapping or the craft table still needs a figure. This wooden Christmas elf decoration is made for exactly that. It is a clear silhouette in plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply stand it up as it is. In just a few minutes, a plain cutout becomes your own Christmas decoration.

What changes for you

  • You design your Christmas decoration exactly the way you want. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on it, varnish it or oil it.
  • You will find the right size for every spot, from a small hanging decoration to a large window figure. Heights range from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
  • Your craft afternoon starts without any preparation. The laser-cut edges are smooth, so there is no need to sand them.
  • Planning bigger projects is easy, for example Christmas crafts with children, a Christmas market or a shop window display. You can order the elf singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
  • You get a handmade piece, not mass-produced goods. Every wooden elf is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck.

Why this wooden elf makes a difference

Ready-made decorations look the same in every home. A wooden blank, on the other hand, becomes your very own piece. Paint it in bright colours, decorate it with the children or leave it natural on purpose. The Christmas elf in light plywood goes well with candlelight and fir branches. And because you choose the size and quantity yourself, it fits into small and large decorating ideas alike. You don't have to plan around the decoration.

Material & finish

The elf is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood and has the typical brown edge. This fine outline gives the silhouette extra depth. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. You can pick up the cutout and start working on it right away. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That is why paints, glues and oils adhere particularly well. Wood is a natural material, so every elf turns out slightly different. Some are lighter, some darker, each with its own grain and occasionally small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the Christmas elf

  • Making Christmas decorations with children: every child paints their own elf. In the end, a whole colourful band of elves hangs in the window.
  • On the Christmas table: a small elf at every place, with a name written on it. Your guests find their place card before the first course arrives.
  • On presents: a mini elf on a ribbon instead of the usual bow. Your parcel stands out under the tree straight away.
  • In a café, bakery or at a market stall: place several elves in different sizes around the counter or in the shop window. This gives you a uniform Christmas display that is quick to set up. Thanks to the sets, it also pays off for several branches.
  • For school, nursery or a club bazaar: with the set of 25, 50 or 100, every group has enough blanks for the craft afternoon. You don't need to reorder them one by one.

Good to know about the Christmas elf

In Scandinavian Christmas tradition, elves and gnomes are secret helpers. During Advent, they bring little surprises into the home. That is why the wooden elf works not only as a classic window and table decoration. It also goes with Advent calendars, elf doors and small gifts in December.

Care & durability

Care is simple: just wipe off dust with a dry cloth. The plywood is untreated, so protect the elf from constant moisture. Kept indoors, or sealed with paint and oil, it will be with you for many Christmases.

Options & what's included

  • Height of your choice: 5 cm to 50 cm, in 1 cm steps
  • Available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100
  • Included: wooden cutout in the shape of an elf, untreated. Paints, ribbons and decorations shown in the product images are not included.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the elf or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well. You can easily varnish, paint, decorate or oil it.

Why does the elf have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge with smooth edges. No sanding is needed.

How wide is the elf at the height I choose? For reference: at a height of 10 cm, the width is 6 cm. All other sizes are in proportion.

Do all the elves look exactly the same? The shape is identical, but the wood is not. As a natural material, it can be lighter or darker and may show small knots or differences in the grain. This is not a defect. It makes every piece unique.

Is the elf suitable for outdoor use? The wood is untreated. For outdoor use, you should protect it yourself with paint or oil and avoid constant moisture.

A plywood cutout is only the start. Then comes the afternoon of painting and laughing at the kitchen table. And the moment your own elf hangs in the window for the first time. Just choose your size and quantity. You design the rest.
