The days are getting shorter and the leaves outside are glowing. Indoors, your windowsill or craft table is still missing something autumnal. This wooden pumpkin leaf is a blank that you design however you like. Paint it, stick things on it, oil it or leave it natural. One leaf for your autumn decorations – from a small table scatter piece to a large wall piece for the shop window.

Why this pumpkin leaf makes a difference in everyday life

Autumn decorations are all about natural shapes. A leaf motif made of real wood brings a calm, warm feel to the room that plastic decorations often lack. On the dining table, at the window or on the shop counter: the real wood pumpkin leaf suits autumn interiors. You can bring it out again year after year. And because you design it yourself, what hangs there in the end is not just any decoration, but yours.

Material & finish

The pumpkin leaf is made of 3 mm thick plywood and is laser-cut. This creates smooth edges with the characteristic brown rim. They feel pleasant to the touch and need no further finishing. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed, so you can design it any way you like. As a purely natural material, wood is never completely uniform. Differences in shade, fine structures in the grain and small knots are normal. This makes every leaf one of a kind. Every piece is made in Thuringia, in our own production in Pößneck.

How to use the pumpkin leaf

• On a harvest festival or autumn table: small leaves as table scatter between pumpkins and candles. The table looks lovingly laid with little effort.
• For a door wreath or autumn arrangement: one large pumpkin leaf as the centrepiece. Your entrance welcomes guests with an autumn greeting before they even reach the door.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: leaves in different sizes in the shop window or on the counter. Your seasonal decorations are up in a few minutes and can be reused year after year.
• For lettering: paint a name on the leaf and it becomes a place card for your autumn party. Every guest finds their seat and takes home a small keepsake.

Good to know about the pumpkin leaf

The pumpkin is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Here, hardly any other plant stands so clearly for harvest time and autumn. That is why the leaf motif suits not only Halloween, but also harvest festival, autumn table decorations and seasonal shop displays.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Stored dry, the untreated wood keeps its shape and looks good for years. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the leaf outdoors, paint or oil it first to protect the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the pumpkin leaf or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can paint it, decorate it with glued-on items, coat it or oil it. Paint and glue adhere well to the natural surface.

How wide is the leaf at the height I choose? The width depends on the shape. At a height of 10 cm, the leaf is 7 cm wide. Other sizes scale proportionally.

Why do the leaves look slightly different? Wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This is not a defect. It is what makes every leaf unique.

Where does the brown rim on the edges come from? It forms during laser cutting and is typical of this cutting method. It also means the edges are smooth and don't need sanding.

This is about more than a piece of plywood. It's about the moment your homemade autumn window is finished and the room suddenly feels like the golden season. Just choose your size – single or in a set – and get started.
