• You can start straight away without sanding. The bat is laser-cut and has smooth edges.

• You are holding a cleanly made piece from Thuringia. It is made in our own production in Pößneck.

Why this wooden bat makes a difference

Ready-made decorations look the same everywhere. A wooden blank, on the other hand, becomes your very own piece. Crafting with children also gives you an afternoon together. And at the end, something one of a kind hangs in your window. Wood is a natural material, so the bat still fits quietly into your home after Halloween.

Material & finish

The bat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it smooth edges and the typical brown laser edge, which outlines the motif with a fine contour. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glue and oils adhere well to it. Wood is a purely natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary slightly from piece to piece. That makes each bat unique, not faulty.

Good to know about bats

The bat has long been one of the classic Halloween motifs. As a creature of the dusk, it suits the night of 31 October like hardly any other animal. In China, on the other hand, it is traditionally a symbol of good luck. There, the word for bat sounds just like the word for luck. So the motif works not only for a spooky party but also as a small lucky charm all year round.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the bat in a dry place and keep it away from lasting moisture. The untreated wood will then keep its shape and look for a long time. If you want to hang it outdoors, a coat of paint or oil gives the surface extra protection.
