Crystal snowflake cardboard cutout – craft blank, 5–50 cm

It's getting dark early outside, the paints, brushes and glue are ready on the table – and it's high time your windows got that wintry feel. That's exactly what this crystal snowflake in cardboard is made for: an untreated blank that you can paint, decorate or simply hang up as it is, just the way you like. One crafty afternoon later, you'll have winter decorations that no other window has.

What changes for you

• You create your own Christmas decorations instead of buying ready-made ones – because the untreated surface takes paint, varnish and glue really well.
• Your design keeps its shape while you craft and won't bend or crease – thanks to sturdy bookbinding board, 1.2 mm thick and 755 g/m².
• You'll find the right size for every window and every room – from 5 to 50 cm wide, selectable in fine 1 cm steps.
• You can craft with your kids in a relaxed way without risking expensive materials – a blank forgives experiments and is quickly replaced.
• You decorate with a clear conscience – the cardboard is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this snowflake makes a difference every day

Homemade winter decorations say more than shop-bought ones: hanging in the window, on a branch display or above the dining table is something you or your children made with your own hands. The room instantly feels more wintry and more personal – and every time you glance at the snowflake, the memory of that afternoon of crafting together comes with it.

Material & finish

The Kristall snowflake is laser-cut from solid board in bookbinding quality. That gives it clean outlines and the characteristic brown edges with their natural look. The surface is smooth and untreated. You can cover it, paint it, brush on colour or varnish it without the paint beading off. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. The finish is clean, and you can rely on it with every piece.

How to use the snowflake

• As winter decor in the living room: hang several sizes at different heights – and a quiet snowfall drifts through the room.
• On a gift or Christmas card: a small 5 cm snowflake as a tag – and your parcel stands out straight away under the tree.
• In a bakery, café or shop: large snowflakes up to 50 cm in the shop window or above the counter. They create a wintry scene that is quick to set up and marks the start of the season.
• On the table for Christmas, a winter wedding or a birthday: a snowflake with a name written on it as a place card – and your guests will find their seats with a smile.

Good to know about the snowflake

Real snow crystals always grow in a hexagonal shape – and yet no two are alike, because each one takes on its own form on its journey through the clouds. That's what makes the snowflake a symbol of all that's special about winter – and the perfect motif when you want your decorations to be anything but off the shelf.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do: store the snowflake somewhere dry and use it indoors, as untreated cardboard doesn't like moisture. If you'd like to use it outdoors or near a damp window, simply varnish or paint it first – stored away carefully, it will last for many winters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint and decorate the snowflake? Yes, the untreated surface can be painted, brushed, varnished and decorated with glued-on items – ideal as a blank for your own designs.

Why does the snowflake have brown edges? The cutout is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown edges that are part of the cardboard's natural character.

Is the snowflake suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it belongs indoors, as cardboard is sensitive to moisture. Sealed with varnish or paint, it becomes much more resistant.

How big exactly is the snowflake? You choose a width between 5 and 50 cm; the height always equals the width – so 10 cm wide means 10 cm tall.

Is the material sustainable? Yes, the bookbinding board is made from 100% recycled material and is produced in Germany.

In the end, it's not about a cardboard cutout. It's about the afternoon spent crafting at the kitchen table – and the moment the first homemade snowflakes are hanging in the window and winter moves into your home. Just choose your size and quantity and get started.
