Pumpkin with hat V1 cardboard cutout for crafts – 5 to 50 cm

Autumn is arriving and it gets dark earlier outside. You want to decorate your window, table or front door with Halloween decorations that really come from you. That is exactly what this cardboard pumpkin with hat is made for. It is a laser-cut cutout in sturdy bookbinding board. Paint it, stick things on it or simply stand it up as it is. An afternoon of crafting gives you a decoration that nobody else has.

What changes for you

• You make your own Halloween decorations instead of buying ready-made ones. The untreated surface takes paint, varnish and glue without any trouble.
• Your design keeps its shape even after painting. That's thanks to solid board, 1.2 mm thick, at 755 g/m².
• You'll find the right size for every spot, from small table scatter to a large window decoration. You choose the height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can craft with a clear conscience – the board is made from 100% recycled material.
• When crafting with children, you can start straight away. The outline is already laser-cut, so nobody has to do any cutting.

Why this cardboard pumpkin makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations look the same in every home. A pumpkin you've designed yourself tells the story of the afternoon it was made. Paint it bright orange, decorate it with napkin decoupage or leave it natural brown on purpose. The pumpkin suits windows, hallways and autumn tables. And because you choose the size yourself, it fits exactly where you want it.

Material & finish

The base is solid board in bookbinding quality. It is firm, holds its shape and feels good in the hand. The surface is smooth. The laser-cut edges are the typical brown and give the cutout a handcrafted look. Because the board is untreated, acrylic paint, varnish, glue and paper stick reliably. Every pumpkin is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is cleanly finished and doesn't have far to travel.

• In the shop window or at the counter: A large pumpkin up to 50 cm tall draws attention. It gets your customers in the mood for the autumn season.

Good to know about pumpkins

Hardly any other symbol belongs to Halloween like the glowing pumpkin. Originally, people in Ireland carved faces into turnips. Only in America did the turnip become a pumpkin. As a cardboard design, it brings the same autumn mood into your home, just without the carving. And it lasts not just one season but many.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the pumpkin dry and you'll enjoy it for many years. As the board is untreated, keep it away from damp and wet. It is ideal for sheltered indoor spaces. A coat of paint or varnish makes the surface more resistant.
