Pumpkin V2 cardboard cutout for crafts – silhouette, 5–50 cm

The windowsill is still waiting for an autumn feel. The children want to do some crafts. And Halloween is getting closer. A cardboard pumpkin is just right for your craft table. The cardboard pumpkin V2 arrives as a ready-cut silhouette. You paint it, cover it or simply hang it up plain, just as you like. That is how a simple cutout becomes your very own Halloween decoration.

What changes for you

• You start decorating straight away instead of cutting out. The pumpkin arrives neatly laser-cut and ready to use.
• Your paints and glue hold well. The untreated, smooth surface of the bookbinding board can be painted, coloured and covered.
• You will find the right size for every idea. Choose anything from a small 5 cm tag to a large 50 cm stand-up figure, in 1 cm steps.
• Your crafting afternoon with the children stays relaxed. The firm solid board keeps its shape and does not give way with every brushstroke.
• You decorate with a clear conscience – the cardboard is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard pumpkin makes a difference in everyday life

A blank that already has the right shape takes the hardest part off your hands: drawing and cutting out. You can focus on the fun part – colours, patterns and crafting together. And because you choose the size yourself, the pumpkin really fits where you want it: in the window, on the door or on the laid autumn table.

Material & finish

The pumpkin V2 is made from 1.2 mm solid board in bookbinding quality. It is a firm material that keeps its shape, with a weight of 755 g/m². It holds up much better than ordinary card. The surface is smooth and untreated, so it takes paint, pens and glue well. The laser darkens the edges and gives the silhouette a clean, clear outline. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the cardboard pumpkin

• Crafting with children: every child gets their own pumpkin to paint. In the end, a colourful row of home-made Halloween decorations hangs in the window.
• For the front door in October: a large 40 or 50 cm pumpkin decorated with acrylic paint. Your guests will know before they ring the bell that Halloween is celebrated here.
• On the party table: write on small pumpkins from 5 cm and use them as place cards. Every guest finds their seat, and the decoration suits the occasion.
• In a café or bakery: combine several sizes in the shop window or on the counter. Your seasonal decoration is up in a few minutes. After the season, you can store it flat.
• For weddings, birthdays or autumn parties: cover the blank with decoupage, fabric or paper. It becomes a decoration that matches your colour scheme.

Good to know about pumpkins

The custom of putting out glowing pumpkin faces at Halloween originally comes from Ireland. There, people first carved the “Jack O'Lanterns” from turnips, before the pumpkin became the symbol of the festival. With the cardboard pumpkin, you bring this motif into your home without a carving knife or sticky fingers. And next year, you can simply bring it out again.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Keep the pumpkin dry and protect it from lasting moisture, as the cardboard is untreated. That way the silhouette keeps its shape and you can enjoy it for many autumns.
