Christmas crafts – snowman V1 in cardboard, 5–50 cm

Outside it gets dark early. Inside, brushes, paints and glue are ready. And the children can't wait to get started. This cardboard snowman is made for exactly that. It is an untreated blank made from sturdy bookbinding board. You can paint it, stick things on it and design it however you like. A simple cutout becomes your very own winter decoration. Use it in the window, on the Advent wreath or on the laid table.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting straight away. The snowman arrives as a ready laser-cut cutout with a clean outline.
• Your paints, pens and stickers stay put. The smooth, untreated surface can be painted, varnished and decorated with stick-ons.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. Choose from 5 cm for a gift tag up to 50 cm for a shop window, in 1 cm steps.
• Your decoration won't bend the first time you touch it. The 1.2 mm solid board with 755 g/m² is noticeably firmer than ordinary craft card.
• You can decorate with a clear conscience – as the board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard snowman makes a difference in everyday use

Making Christmas decorations is most fun when the result really looks good afterwards. A sturdy blank in a uniform shape makes this possible, even when crafting with children. Everyone designs their own snowman. In the end, a little winter landscape hangs in the window that looks as if it belongs together. Instead of cutting out templates by hand, you spend your time on the fun part: decorating.

Material & finish

The snowman is laser cut from 1.2 mm solid board in bookbinding quality. That's where the typical brown edges come from, giving the figure a natural-looking rim. The surface is smooth and untreated. It takes paint evenly and is just as easy to cover with stick-ons as to varnish. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is finished cleanly, so you get a neat blank in your hands.

How to use the cardboard snowman

• Crafting with children on an Advent afternoon: each child paints their own snowman. Afterwards they proudly hang it in the window.
• As a gift tag in a small size: write a short message and tie it to the ribbon. The parcel under the tree then carries the recipient's name.
• As table decoration for Christmas dinner: a snowman at every place, with a name on it. Your guests find their seat with a smile.
• As Christmas decoration on an Advent wreath or branch: hang a few figures in different sizes. The room instantly looks wintry.
• In the window of a bakery, café or shop: arrange large snowmen up to 50 cm as winter decoration. They are quick to set up and look uniform. After the season they store away without taking up much space.
• For a winter wedding, birthday or party: paint them to match your colour scheme. The decoration looks planned rather than thrown together.

Good to know about the snowman

For centuries, the snowman has been one of the best-known symbols of winter. It already appears in old pictures and children's books. It stands for the whole cold season, not just Christmas. So you can leave your homemade decoration up from December into February.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the cutouts in a dry place and keep them away from lasting damp. As an untreated paper material, the board doesn't like moisture. That way the surface stays smooth and keeps its shape. You can bring your snowmen out again year after year.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the snowman or stick things on it? Yes. The smooth, untreated surface can be painted, varnished and decorated with stick-ons. Use craft paints, or paper, glitter or fabric.

Where do the brown edges come from? They are created when the solid board is laser cut. They are typical of these cutouts. The outline is clean and free of burrs.

Is the snowman suitable for outdoors? The board is untreated and should be protected from moisture. It is ideal for windows, shop windows and all indoor spaces.

How wide is the snowman at my chosen height? The proportions stay the same. At a height of 10 cm, the snowman is 7.5 cm wide. You can use this as a guide for all sizes.

What counts is the afternoon at the kitchen table spent painting, gluing and laughing. And the snowmen in the window that remind you of it weeks later. Just choose your size and quantity. You design the rest yourself.
