Cardboard ghost for crafting – cutout 3–50 cm

The leaves are turning, the pumpkins are on the doorstep – and the window still needs its Halloween decorations. This cardboard ghost gives you a ready-made ghost shape. You can paint it, decorate it or simply hang it up as it is. It is just right for a cosy crafting afternoon in autumn. The sturdy bookbinding board becomes a window decoration, a garland or a small hanging tag.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting straight away instead of cutting out by hand first. The ghost arrives as a ready-made cutout with smooth laser-cut edges.
• Your decoration keeps its shape and paint does not soak through. That is down to the firm solid board, 1.2 mm thick and 755 g/m².
• You can design it however you like. The untreated bookbinding board can be glued, painted and varnished.
• You will find the right size for every project – from a small hanging tag to a large window decoration. Choose any size from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can craft with a clear conscience. The board is made from 100 % recycled material.

Why this cardboard ghost makes a difference in everyday life

Home-made Halloween decorations feel different. Instead of shop-bought plastic, your window shows something you or your children made. The clear ghost shape gives you the outline. You choose the colours and details yourself. Crafting with children becomes a relaxed afternoon together rather than fiddly work. And in the end, the decorations really suit your home.

Material & finish

Bookbinding board is a firm solid board of proven quality. It stays flat, hardly warps when painted and feels firm and smooth in your hand. The edges are laser-cut and therefore smooth, with no fraying or tears. This means you can work on the shape neatly, even when little hands are helping. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the ghost

• Autumn crafting with children: each child paints their own ghost. By the evening, the windows are full of one-of-a-kind pieces.
• As a garland: thread several ghosts onto a string and hang it over the door. Your hallway is ready for Halloween in a few minutes.
• On a sweet bag: tie on a small ghost as a tag. The party bag looks lovingly made, with very little effort.
• For weddings, birthdays, parties or engagements too: painted or written on, the shape becomes a place card or a playful table decoration.
• In a shop or café: combine several sizes in the shop window or on the counter. It is a seasonal decoration that is quick to put up. After the festivities, it packs away without taking up much space.

Good to know about the ghost

The custom of surrounding yourself with ghosts at Halloween goes back to the Celtic festival of Samhain. People believed that on this day the boundary to the spirit world was especially thin. That is why the ghost is still one of the most popular motifs for window decorations, garlands and party decorations today. A home-made cardboard ghost fits right in.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Store the cardboard somewhere dry and keep it away from lasting moisture. Then you can bring out your ghost decorations again every year. Once varnished or painted, the surface stays looking good for a long time.
