Why this pumpkin cutout makes a difference

Autumn and Halloween decorations work best when they look warm and natural, not garish and artificial. A wooden pumpkin brings exactly this calm. The material feels firm and slightly rough in your hand. The shape is instantly recognisable. Depending on the light, you can even see the grain through the glaze. In the window, on the chest of drawers or on the shop counter, you get an autumn scene that looks real rather than plastic.

Material & finish

The pumpkin is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge. The edge outlines the motif and adds depth without any extra painting. The edges are cut smooth and precise. So no rough spots get in your way while crafting. The front has an orange glaze. Depending on the light, you can still see the wood grain and small knots through it. The back is left natural and untreated. That's ideal if you want to decorate it yourself. Wood is a purely natural material. It's never completely even: sometimes lighter, sometimes darker, with small inclusions in the grain. That's what makes every piece unique. The cutout comes from our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the pumpkin cutout

• Halloween crafts with children: everyone gets a small pumpkin to paint and decorate. In the end, a whole row of home-made faces hangs in the window.
• The evening before the Halloween party: a large pumpkin on the front door, small ones spread across the table. Your guests are in the mood as soon as they walk in.
• As a gift tag or party favour: put a 5 cm pumpkin on a parcel or a bag of sweets. A small gift becomes a lovingly made greeting.
• In a bakery, café or at a market stall: place several pumpkins in graduated sizes on the counter and in the shop window. Your autumn goods get a seasonal display in just a few minutes. There's no big setting up.
• In nursery, school or craft group: with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, every child has their own blank. And you save yourself the hard work of sawing them out beforehand.

Good to know about pumpkins

The glowing pumpkin goes back to the Irish custom of the “Jack O'Lantern”. Originally, turnips were hollowed out for it. The pumpkin only came along in America. That's why the pumpkin shape with a cut-out face is still the symbol of Halloween today. With this cutout, you bring this classic into your home for good. Unlike a real pumpkin, you don't have to throw it away after a few weeks.

• Width freely selectable from 5 cm to 50 cm, in 1 cm steps
