Christmas cat V2 wooden decoration for crafting – 5 to 50 cm

The windows are clean and the Advent wreath is in place. Yet one motif is still missing from your Christmas decorations. The wooden Christmas cat brings a cat silhouette into your home that you design just the way you like. Paint it, glue things onto it or simply leave it natural. It's a Christmas cat decoration that looks as if it were made for your windowsill.

What changes for you

• You create your own one-of-a-kind piece instead of off-the-shelf decorations. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, decorate it with glued-on details, give it a coat of paint or oil it.
• You'll find the right size for every spot, from a small hanging decoration to a large window picture. You can choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your crafting afternoon with the kids needs no preparation. The edges are laser-cut and smooth, so you can start straight away.
• You don't need to draw the face yourself. The eyes and outlines are already finely marked with shallow laser lines.
• You can plan larger projects with ease. Choose a single piece or a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100. The quantity fits your project.

Why this Christmas cat makes a difference in everyday life

Among baubles and candles, the cat silhouette is the motif people keep looking at. It's calm, warm and a little playful. Because you design it yourself, it tells your story: your children's favourite colours, a name in gold lettering, a hand-painted pattern. This turns a wooden cutout into a Christmas decoration that you unpack again year after year.

Material & finish

The Christmas cat is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. That's where the typical fine brown edge comes from, which gives the motif its outline. The top side has the marked outline lines. The underside is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue and oils well. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. As a natural material, the wood varies in shade and texture and may have small knots. This makes every piece unique.

Good to know about the Christmas cat

The cat has a long tradition at Christmas. In Iceland, people know the Jólakötturinn, the legendary Yule Cat. It has been part of local custom for generations. This makes the cat silhouette a motif with a history. Use it as a window decoration, a hanging ornament or a small gift for anyone who loves cats and Christmas.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated Christmas cat dry and protect it from prolonged moisture. Then you'll enjoy it for many years. If you want a lasting design, you can paint or oil the wood. This gives the surface extra protection.
