Cat on fence – wooden silhouette for crafting, 10–50 cm

Autumn is here, and it gets dark earlier outside. You want to decorate your window, door and table for the season. But you'd rather not use mass-produced plastic decorations. The plywood cat on a fence is made for this. It is a clear wooden silhouette that you paint, decorate or leave natural, just as you like. That way you create Halloween decorations that really look like yours.

What changes for you

• You make your own decorations instead of buying ready-made ones. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, glue things on or oil it.
• Your decoration fits its spot exactly, from the windowsill to the front door. You can choose any width from 10 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start painting straight away, with no sanding first. The laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• Children and guests recognise the motif at once. The silhouette of the cat on the fence is clear even from a distance.
• Crafting with children stays relaxed. The light, 3 mm thick figure is easy for small hands to hold.

Why this cat on a fence makes a difference every day

Decorations you make yourself tell a different story from bought ones. They show your own touch. The cat can sit in deep black at the window. It can be painted in bright colours for a children's party. Or it can stand in natural wood on an autumn table. It suits many occasions and interior styles. You choose the size and design yourself. So you can match it to what you already have.

Material & finish

The figure is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. The laser cut gives smooth edges and the typical brown rim. This rim gives the silhouette extra depth. The wood is untreated, with no varnish or glaze. That is why paints, glues and oils take well. As a natural material, every piece is one of a kind. Lightness and grain vary, and small knots may appear. Variations in lightness and grain and small knots are not defects. They are signs of a natural, grown material.

How to use the cat on the fence

• For Halloween: Painted in a dark colour, the cat decorates your window, door or autumn table. Your guests know at the front door that there's a party here.
• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own cat. In the end, a little gallery hangs in the window, and everyone is proud of it.
• As a gift tag or small present: A little cat 10 cm wide, lovingly decorated. A simple parcel becomes something personal.
• In a café, bakery or shop: Combine several sizes in the shop window or on the counter. This gives you seasonal autumn decorations. They are quick to set up and you can reuse them every year.
• For market stalls and catering: The set of 10 is enough for a consistent line of decorations. All in the same design, without much effort.

Good to know about the cat on the fence

The black cat has been part of autumn and Halloween customs for centuries. In folklore, it was seen as a companion of witches. It was also a mysterious animal of the dark season. That is why the silhouette on the fence is such a popular motif for windows, doors and tables in October. Left natural or painted in bright colours, you can also use it as cat decor all year round.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Keep the figure dry and simply wipe off dust with a soft cloth. The wood is untreated, so protect it from constant moisture. If you want to use the cat outdoors, paint or oil it. This helps it stay nice for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the cat or glue things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paints, glues and oils well. It is ideal for crafting, decorating and painting.

How tall is the figure? The height depends on the width you choose. At 10 cm wide, the height is 7 cm. The other sizes scale accordingly.

Why is the edge brown? The cat is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim with smooth edges. It is a normal feature of a laser-cut cutout.

Does every cat look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood is not. As a natural material, it shows different lightness, grain and sometimes small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

A wooden cutout is only the start. Then comes the afternoon of painting and laughing at the kitchen table. And afterwards, a window that makes everyone passing by smile. Just choose your size and get started.
