Wooden reindeer head – plywood silhouette for crafts

Advent is just around the corner. The windows are waiting to be decorated and the craft table is ready. This is where this wooden reindeer head comes in. It is a clear silhouette made of plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply hang it up as it is. It is made for your Christmas decorations. Maybe you want a single piece for the front door. Or a whole set for a crafting afternoon with children. Either way, you decide what your reindeer looks like.

What changes for you

• You design your reindeer head decoration just the way you like it. The wood is untreated, so you can paint, oil, decorate or write on it.
• You will find the right size for every idea, from a small hanging tag to a large shop window decoration. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away with no finishing work. The cutout is laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• You can also kit out larger projects with ease, such as school classes, club parties or shop decorations. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.
• You're holding an honest natural material. Every piece has its own grain, and no two are alike.

Why this reindeer head makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations often look the same everywhere. A reindeer head you design yourself tells your story. Perhaps it is brightly painted by children. Perhaps it is kept simple in natural tones. In the window, on the Advent wreath or as a gift tag, it brings a warmth to your home that mass-produced items rarely manage. And because you choose the size and design yourself, it fits your decorations – not the other way round.

Material & finish

The reindeer head is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the typical fine brown edge, which gives the silhouette extra contour. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. You can start designing straight away without sanding. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, oil and glue reliably. As a natural material, it shows different shades, small knots and lively patterns in the grain. This is not a flaw. It is exactly what makes every piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the reindeer head

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own reindeer. In the end, a little herd hangs in the window and everyone is proud of it.
• Wrapping presents: tie a small reindeer head to the ribbon instead of a bow. Your parcel will stand out under the tree straight away.
• On the Advent wreath or a branch: add a few natural wood silhouettes in between. Your decorations look calm and tidy rather than cluttered.
• In the café or bakery: with a set, you can decorate the counter and shop window in one go and in a matching style. Quick to hang up, right for the season, with little effort.
• At the Christmas market or in the shop: write on them and use them as price tags or hanging tags. This way you present your goods with care and in a recognisable way.

Good to know about the reindeer

Since the 19th century, the reindeer has been seen as Father Christmas's loyal companion. It pulls his sleigh through the winter night. Since the famous poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” at the latest, it has been firmly part of Christmas. That is exactly why the reindeer head works so reliably as a motif. Everyone recognises it at once, whether in the window, on a present or at the shop counter.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. As the wood is untreated, it is happiest in dry indoor spaces. Avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the reindeer head outdoors, protect it with a coat of varnish or oil. That way it will last you for many winters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the reindeer head? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can paint, oil or decorate it. Paint sticks directly, with no preparation needed.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The reindeer head is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which clearly traces the outline of the silhouette.

Do all pieces look the same? The shape does, the wood does not. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and sometimes small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

How tall is the reindeer head at a given width? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, the height is 9 cm. The other sizes scale accordingly.

Is the cutout suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it belongs in dry indoor spaces. With a protective coat of varnish or oil, you can also use it outdoors.

This wooden cutout is the start of a special moment. Your own reindeer hangs in the window, and Christmas visibly begins in your home. Just choose your size – singly or as a set – and get started.
