Make Christmas decorations – MDF angel, 5–50 cm

The Advent wreath is out and the tea is steaming. On the table lie brushes, paints and a stack of pale wooden blanks. This MDF angel is made for afternoons like these. It is a clear angel shape made from 3 mm fibreboard, untreated and ready for your ideas. Hang it in the window as a Christmas decoration, tie it to a present as a tag or use it for Christmas crafts with children. The plain blank becomes a piece that is entirely your own.

Why this angel makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made Christmas decorations look the same in every home. An angel you have decorated yourself tells of the afternoon it was made. You decide on the colour, pattern and size. That way you make decorations that really suit your home. And when the little angels hang in the window, on a twig or on a present, a calm, warm Advent mood appears all by itself.

Material & finish

The angel is made from 3 mm MDF or HDF. This is a high-density wood fibreboard that keeps its shape and feels pleasantly smooth. Laser cutting gives it a precise outline with the typical brown edge. This edge gives the figure a fine, finished border. The surface is left natural, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or decorate it, just as you like. Wood fibres are a natural material. Individual fibres vary in shade, and small irregularities can occur. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the little angel

Good to know about angels

For centuries, angels have been seen as messengers and symbols of protection. In the Christmas story they announce the good news. That is why angel figures are still part of Advent today. This makes the angel a classic Christmas decoration. It is also a fitting motif for christenings and First Communion, or as a small sign of connection.

Care & durability

You don't need to do much. Kept dry, the untreated fibreboard keeps its shape and pale look for a long time. Avoid constant damp and wet. If you paint, oil or varnish the angel, the surface becomes more resistant.
