Why this cardboard pumpkin makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. With a cardboard blank, you decide whether your pumpkin turns out classic orange, spooky black or covered in colourful paper. Every piece shows your own hand. On the window, on a garland or on the party table, you get decorations that suit your home. Not the decoration shelf at the supermarket.

Material & finish

The firm solid board in bookbinding quality feels pleasantly sturdy in your hand. It also copes with eager little hands at the craft table. The surface is smooth, so paint, glue and pens adhere evenly. The laser-cut brown edges give the shape a clear, clean outline. The cardboard is untreated. So you start on a neutral surface, with no coating to get in the way while you create. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the cardboard pumpkin

• Crafting with children on an autumn afternoon: each child paints their own pumpkin. By evening, a home-made garland hangs in the children's room.
• For a Halloween party: hang several sizes together in the window. Even from the street, people can see there's a party going on.
• As table and place decoration in autumn: put a small pumpkin with a name on it at each place. Your guests find their seat and take home a keepsake.
• At nursery, school or a craft group: with sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, every child gets a blank. You don't have to spend hours cutting out beforehand.
• For a café, bakery or shop: decorate the cutouts in your own style. Hang them in the shop window or at the counter. Seasonal decoration that suits your business and is quick to put up.

Good to know about pumpkins

The carved pumpkin goes back to the Irish custom of the “jack-o'-lantern”. Emigrants took it to America. From there, it spread around the world as a symbol of Halloween. That's why the pumpkin motif works well beyond 31 October. Use it as autumn decoration from September into November, for harvest festivals as well as spooky parties.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the cutouts dry and flat. Then they keep their shape and can be used again year after year. Avoid lasting moisture, as the cardboard is untreated. For outdoor use, a protective coat of varnish helps.
