Two weeks to go until Halloween. The windowsill is empty. And the children keep asking when you'll finally start decorating. This wooden witch's cat brings a classic Halloween motif into your home. You can design it exactly the way you like. It's made for your next afternoon of crafting. The plain cutout becomes your very own Halloween decoration.

Why this witch's cat makes a difference

Shop-bought Halloween decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cat you've designed yourself tells your own story. It shows the colours your children picked. And the glitter that simply belongs to crafting with kids. This way you create decorations that look good in October. And you'll enjoy remembering them next year, when the box comes down from the loft again.

Material & finish

The witch's cat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That's where the typical brown edge comes from, which gives the silhouette extra definition. The wood is untreated, with no varnish or glaze. This means you can easily paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade and grain vary, and small knots may occur. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the witch's cat

• Crafting with kids at the weekend: get the brushes out and paint the cats black. By the evening, your first homemade Halloween decoration is hanging in the window.
• For your Halloween party: scatter small cats across the table as table scatter or place cards. The spooky setting is ready before the first guests ring the bell.
• As a large silhouette in the window: put a light behind a 50 cm cat. In the evening it casts a shadow no trick-or-treater can miss.
• In a café or bakery: place a few cats on the counter and in the shop window. Your seasonal shop decoration is set up in a few minutes and quickly packed away again.
• For nurseries, schools or craft groups: with the set of 25 or 50, every child gets their own blank. Same shape, completely different results.

Good to know about the witch's cat

In European folklore, the black cat has been seen as the witch's companion for centuries. That's why it's one of the classic Halloween motifs, alongside pumpkins and bats. The hissing silhouette brings this bit of tradition into your home. You can display it in a new way every year.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutouts somewhere dry and they'll last for many years. As the wood is untreated, avoid constant moisture. If you'd like extra protection, you can coat or oil the cat as you wish.
