Why this wooden Christmas dog makes a difference every day

Home-made Christmas decorations tell more of a story than bought ones. The motif in your window isn't just any motif. It's the one your children painted at the kitchen table. The light plywood looks calm next to the often colourful Advent season. It goes well with fir branches, candles and wreaths. And because the little dog is so cute, it makes young and old smile – while crafting and while looking at it.

Material & finish

The Christmas dog is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the typical warm brown edge, a detail that gives the motif depth. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean, so children can handle the cutout. The wood is untreated, neither painted nor varnished. That makes it ideal for painting and decorating. As a natural material, it shows different shades, fine grain structures and occasionally small knots. This is not a flaw. It is exactly what makes every piece unique. The dog is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about dogs

The dog has always been a symbol of loyalty and connection. These values fit Christmas perfectly, a time when family and togetherness come first. That makes the motif a good small gift for dog lovers. It also works as a gift tag or as a keepsake of your own four-legged friend on the tree.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Stored in a dry place, the wooden cutout lasts for many Advent seasons. As the wood is untreated, avoid constant moisture. If you want to make the motif more durable, simply paint, oil or varnish it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the Christmas dog? Yes. The wood is untreated and you can glue on it, paint, oil or varnish it – ideal for decorating with your own ideas.

Are both sides designed? No. The lasered contour lines with face and details are on the top side. The back is left natural.

Why do the cutouts look different? Wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary – that is exactly what makes every piece unique.

Is the cutout suitable for outdoors? Untreated, it belongs in a dry place. For outdoor use, you can protect it with a suitable paint or oil.

Why does the dog have a brown edge? The cutout is laser-cut. The fine brown edge is typical of this process and gives the motif extra contour.

What counts is more than a wooden cutout. It's the afternoon at the kitchen table spent painting, gluing and laughing. And it's the moment the finished dog finds its place in the window. Simply choose your size and get started.
