Christmas gnome wooden log – plywood silhouette, 3–50 cm

The Advent wreath is up and the windows are clean. But something is still missing on the windowsill. This wooden gnome is a figure you can design just the way you like. Paint it, decorate it, oil it or simply stand it up as it is. You choose the exact size from 3 to 50 cm to suit your spot. It fits your windowsill perfectly.

What changes for you

• You make your own Christmas decorations instead of buying ready-made ones. The plywood is untreated, so it takes paint, glue or oil straight away.
• You'll find the right figure for every spot, from a tiny table scatter gnome to a large window figure. Sizes range from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start crafting straight away, with no sanding or finishing. The laser-cut edges are smooth and clean.
• Larger projects are easy to supply too, for example with your craft group or at nursery. The gnome comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden gnome makes a difference every day

Decorations you make yourself feel different from bought ones. They tell the story of a cosy afternoon of crafting and show your own style. A painted wooden Christmas gnome on the table or by the window makes the room feel cosy, year after year. And because you choose the size, the figure fits in with the decorations you already have instead of stealing the show.

Material & finish

The gnome is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It has the typical brown edge along the cut line. This edge gives the silhouette a fine, natural outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can easily paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it. Wood is a purely natural material. Every piece has its own shade and grain and may have small knots. That is what makes every gnome one of a kind. It is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden gnome

• At an Advent craft afternoon: paint the wooden gnomes, with a red pointy hat and a white beard. Every child proudly takes their own figure home.
• On the windowsill or sideboard: place three gnomes in different sizes side by side. They form a little scene that makes the room feel like Christmas.
• As gift tags or table scatter: put the small sizes from 3 cm on parcels or spread them over the laid table. Your guests will spot them as they sit down.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: large gnomes up to 50 cm in the shop window or on the counter. Seasonal decoration that is quick to set up and suits what you sell.
• For school, nursery or a club bazaar: with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 you can supply whole groups without reordering one by one.

Good to know about the gnome

The gnome comes from Scandinavian folklore. There it watches over house and farm as a kind household spirit. As thanks, people leave a bowl of porridge outside the door for it at Christmas. That is why it is now a firm part of Christmas decorations. And as a figure you have designed yourself, it also makes a personal little gift in Advent.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated wooden gnome dry and away from constant moisture, and you'll enjoy it for many years. If you paint or oil it, you protect the surface even more and give it your own look.
