MDF pine cone – cedar cone silhouette V1 for crafts

Outside it gets dark early, and indoors you want it to look like winter. But real cones from the forest are crooked, sticky with resin and never the size you need right now. With the cedar cone made of HDF, you bring the familiar cone silhouette into your home as a flat wooden cutout. Sizes range from 5 cm for a gift tag to 50 cm for a shop window. That makes it just right for your winter decorations. You decide whether it stays natural or gets painted, covered and decorated. In a few simple steps you have Christmas decorations that suit your home exactly.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting right away without sanding any edges. The cedar cone is laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• Your Christmas decorations will finally fit your window, wreath or counter exactly. You can choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You design the motif just the way you like it. The HDF is untreated, so you can coat it, paint it or stick things on it.
• Larger projects are easy to kit out too. Order a single piece or a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You can rely on consistent quality. Every cutout is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this cedar cone makes a difference every day

A cone belongs to winter just as a fir sprig belongs to Advent. As a clean silhouette, it brings that mood into the room in a calm, uncluttered way. Instead of odds and ends gathered together, you get one motif. It runs through your windowsill, Advent wreath and presents and ties your decorations together. And because you choose the size yourself, your decorations look planned rather than random. That goes for everything from a small tag to a large cutout for the shop window.

Material & finish

The cone silhouette is laser-cut from 3 mm thick HDF/MDF fibreboard. This gives you a clean, accurate outline with smooth edges that feels pleasant in your hand. The board is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glue and pens stick well, so you can start creating straight away without any preparation. HDF is made of pressed wood fibres and naturally shows different textures. Some fibres are lighter, some darker, and there may be small irregularities now and then. This is not a flaw. It makes every piece one of a kind. HDF is a fibreboard like MDF, just more densely compressed. This makes it harder, and it stays stable even when thin.

How to use the cedar cone

• Crafting with children: Everyone paints their own cone. At the end, homemade winter decorations hang on the wreath, and everyone is proud of them.
• On presents: Write a name on a small cone and use it instead of a bow. Each parcel under the tree is then clearly labelled.
• In model making: The flat silhouette fits your project exactly. You can choose any height in 1 cm steps.
• In your shop, café or market stall: Put large cones in the shop window and small ones on the counter. Your Christmas decorations are quick to set up and look consistent across your whole range.

Good to know about cones

Cones have always been part of winter and Christmas decorations. Gathered in the forest, they traditionally adorn Advent wreaths and table arrangements. The laser-cut silhouette takes up this familiar shape. But it is flat, clean and available in any size you want. It's ideal when real cones would be too small, too irregular or too bulky.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Simply store the untreated cutout somewhere dry. Wipe off dust with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant moisture, as the fibreboard is not sealed. That way the silhouette keeps its shape and is ready to use for many winters.
