Wooden Christmas dog V3 for crafts – silhouette, 5–50 cm

Advent is here, and the windows are waiting for decorations. Paints and glue are ready on the craft table. Only the right motif is missing. This wooden Christmas dog is made for exactly that. It is a laser-cut silhouette in 3 mm poplar plywood, with an etched face and fine outlines. You decorate it to suit your home. Paint it, stick things on it, oil it or leave it completely natural.

What changes for you

• You get exactly the size you need. The Christmas dog can be ordered from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small gift tag to a large window decoration.
• Christmas crafting with children is more relaxed. The untreated wood takes paint, glue and glitter straight away. No pre-treatment is needed.
• You have a finished motif in your hands right away. The face and outlines are already etched in. Painting is nice, but not a must.
• You can plan larger projects easily. The cutout is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• It is easy to keep working with. The laser-cut edges are smooth. Nothing splinters, and there is no need for sanding.

Why this wooden Christmas dog makes a difference in everyday use

Christmas decorations made of real wood bring a calm, natural warmth to a room. Mass-produced items rarely match that. Whether in the window, in an Advent arrangement or on a present: the motif looks loving and handmade. That's because it is. And because you choose the size and design yourself, the little dog fits in with the rest of your decorations.

Material & finish

The Christmas dog is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical warm brown edge. This edge is a hallmark of the production method and adds depth to the motif. The top shows the etched outlines. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can decorate it freely. As a natural material, it is never completely uniform. Brightness, grain and small knots vary. That makes every piece unique. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the Christmas dog

• On an Advent afternoon with the children: get the brushes out and paint the motifs. By the evening, your first homemade Christmas decoration is hanging in the window.
• When wrapping presents: tie a little dog to the ribbon instead of the usual bow. The parcel for the dog lover in the family shows what's inside before it's even opened.
• In an Advent arrangement or on the Christmas table: tuck the silhouette between branches and candles. It adds a playful detail to your arrangement.
• In a café, shop or at the Christmas market: with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, you can decorate your counter, shop window or stall in a matching style. Or offer the blanks as a craft activity for children.
• At nursery, school or in a craft group: every child gets the same blank in a suitable size. The result is a whole parade of individual Christmas dogs.

Good to know about the dog as a motif

The dog has long been a symbol of loyalty and companionship. It's not for nothing that it's called man's best friend. That's why the motif suits Christmas, the festival of family, so well. Use it as decoration in a dog lover's home. Or add it to a gift that comes from the heart.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated cutout dry and avoid constant moisture. That way, the wood keeps its shape and natural tone through many Advent seasons. If you paint or oil the motif, the surface gets extra protection.
