Why this baby Jesus silhouette makes a difference

At Christmas, decorations can be quiet. The simple motif of the birth of Jesus draws attention to what the Holy Night is about. No glitter, no clutter. On the windowsill, by the stable of Bethlehem or at the nativity play, the simple silhouette sits quietly alongside your other Christmas decorations. And because you can design the silhouette yourself, your Christmas decorations carry your own handwriting.

Material & finish

The silhouette is laser-cut from 3 mm MDF or HDF. This is a high-density fibreboard made from pressed wood fibres. Laser cutting gives smooth edges. It also leaves the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That makes it ideal for painting, oiling or decorating as you like. Wood fibres are a purely natural material. They can vary in shade and show small irregularities. This makes every piece one of a kind and is not a defect.

Good to know about the baby Jesus

The image of the child in the manger has been at the heart of Christmas customs for centuries. In the 13th century, Francis of Assisi had the Christmas story re-enacted. This laid the foundation for the nativity tradition as we know it today. That is why this silhouette suits not only your Christmas decorations at home. It is just as suitable for parish work, children's church services and nativity plays.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Store the silhouette in a dry place and protect the untreated material from moisture. That way your baby Jesus keeps its shape and looks good for many Christmases. A painted or oiled surface gives the motif extra lasting protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the baby Jesus? Yes. The MDF/HDF is untreated. You can paint, oil, decorate or design it in other ways.

Why does the silhouette have a brown edge? The motif is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark edge. It is part of the process and also gives smooth edges without sanding.

How do I know how tall the figure will be? As a reference: at a chosen width of 10 cm, the height is 9 cm. Other widths follow the same ratio.

Do all silhouettes look exactly the same? The shape is identical. However, the material is a natural product. The wood fibres can vary in shade and show small irregularities. Every piece is one of a kind.

A laser-cut fibreboard shape can complete your nativity scene. Then the Christmas story finds its place in your home. Just choose your width and quantity. You design the rest.
