Snowman V2 to craft – cardboard cutout, 5–50 cm

The first snow is taking its time. But indoors, you want it to look like winter already. Home-made figures dangle in the window. Brushes and paints lie on the table. And the children squabble happily over who gets to paint the biggest one. This cardboard snowman is made for afternoons like these. It is a blank made of sturdy bookbinding board. You can paint it, decorate it or simply hang it up as it is. That way, a plain cutout becomes your very own winter decoration, just right for your windowsill.

What changes for you

• You make your own Christmas decorations instead of buying ready-made ones. The untreated board readily takes paint, varnish and glue.
• Your crafting afternoon with children needs no preparation. The snowman arrives ready cut with clean contours.
• You can hang up the finished figure in minutes. Thanks to the 3 mm hanging hole, all you need is a ribbon or a thread.
• Your decoration always fits. Choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. Pick exactly the size that suits your window, branch or Christmas tree.
• You can craft with a clear conscience. The solid board is made from 100 % recycled material.

Why this cardboard snowman makes a difference in everyday use

Shop-bought decorations look the same in every home. A snowman you have decorated yourself tells the story of the afternoon it was made. Maybe it is painted in bright colours by little hands. Maybe it is kept simple in white and grey. Either way, the figure brings a calm winter feel into your home. And because you choose the size freely, it works on a small branch just as well as a large figure in the window.

Material & finish

The snowman is laser cut from 1.2 mm solid board of bookbinding quality. This gives it firm, rigid surfaces. It also gives it the typical brown edges that frame the finished figure. The surface is smooth and untreated. Acrylic paint, coloured pencil, varnish and glue adhere reliably. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is cleanly finished right down to the contours.

How to use the snowman

• For Christmas crafts with children: every child gets their own blank. At the end, a little snowman family hangs in the window, and everyone is proud of it.
• As a tree decoration: thread a ribbon through the hanging hole of the small sizes. Your Christmas tree or branch arrangement gets home-made ornaments with a story.
• As a winter window decoration: hang several snowmen of different heights side by side. Your window looks lovingly decorated with very little effort.
• For celebrations: whether a Christmas party, a winter birthday or any other party. A painted snowman at each place setting or on a present turns small things into personal gestures.
• In a shop or café: with the sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, you can decorate shop windows, counters or customer gifts in a uniform style. They are quick to hang up and come in exactly the size that suits the space.

Good to know about the snowman

Unlike a star or a nativity motif, the snowman is a purely winter symbol with no fixed link to Christmas. So your home-made decoration can go up in Advent. It can also stay on the wall or branch in January and February, long after the other Christmas decorations have been packed away.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Store the snowman in a dry place and keep it away from moisture, as the board is untreated. That way, the figure keeps its shape. You can take it out of the decoration box again year after year.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the snowman? Yes. The untreated solid board can be painted, varnished, coloured and decorated with glued-on items. The smooth surface takes paint and glue well.

How do I hang up the figure? Every snowman has a hanging hole with a diameter of 3 mm. A thin ribbon or a thread is enough. Then the figure can hang in the window, on a branch or on the Christmas tree.

Is the board suitable for outdoor use? The board is untreated and should be kept dry. It is suitable for sheltered, dry spots. Avoid constant moisture and rain.

Why does the snowman have brown edges? The cutouts are laser cut. This creates the typical brown edges, which give clean contours and a warm-toned rim.

Which size suits my project? As a guide: at a height of 10 cm, the snowman is 5 cm wide. Small sizes work well as tree decorations. Large ones look good in the window or on the wall.
