Halloween spider made of cardboard – craft silhouette, 5–50 cm

The leaves are falling and it gets dark earlier outside. Now your window should finally look like Halloween. With the cardboard spider V2, you bring creepy Halloween decor into your home. You can design it exactly the way you like: paint it, decorate it, hang it up. From a tiny 5 cm crawler to a big 50 cm window spider – made for your spooky decorations.

What changes for you

• You make your own Halloween decorations instead of buying ready-made ones. The untreated bookbinding board can be painted, decorated and varnished.
• Your craft afternoon with the children has a motif they will love straight away. The spider comes ready cut, so you can start right away with paint, glitter and imagination.
• Your decoration fits its spot exactly. You choose the width freely from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a motif for invitations to a large wall spider.
• You can decorate windows, walls and doors with little effort. The flat, light solid board is easy to attach. After Halloween, it stores away without taking up much space.
• You can decorate with a clear conscience. The board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard spider makes a difference in everyday life

A single large spider in the window or a whole swarm of small spiders on the wall. That is enough to give your home a slightly spooky Halloween feel. Guests and children notice it straight away. Instead of colourful ready-made goods, you create decorations in your own style. Paint them matt black, cover them in glitter or keep the plain cardboard look. A few cutouts make up a Halloween display you can use again year after year.

Material & finish

The spider is lasered from 1.2 mm thick solid board in bookbinding quality. This gives it the typical brown edges and a clean, precise outline. The surface is smooth and untreated, so paint and glue stick well. The firm 755 g/m² board feels sturdy in your hand. It does not warp as quickly as thin card while you craft. Every spider is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the cardboard spider

• Crafting with children: Every child gets their own spider to paint. At the end, a whole spider family hangs proudly in the children's room window.
• For a Halloween party: Place a large spider in a web on the door. Your guests will know as soon as they ring the bell that things are getting spooky tonight.
• For invitations and garlands: Use the cutout as a template. Or thread several small spiders onto a string. Your spooky garland for the buffet is ready.
• In a café or bakery: Spread a few spiders across the shop window and the counter. Your seasonal shop decoration is done in a few minutes, without a big budget.
• Beyond Halloween: The spider also suits themed birthdays and spooky evenings. It also works as a craft motif for the autumn half-term.

Good to know about spiders

Along with pumpkins and bats, spiders and spider webs are classic symbols of Halloween. They stand for the abandoned, slightly eerie feel of old buildings. That is why a single silhouette in the window is often enough to set the right mood. You do not need an elaborate backdrop.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. As the board is untreated, just protect the spider from wet and constant damp. Store it dry, for example flat in your decoration box. Then it is ready to use again next year.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the spider? Yes. The untreated, smooth surface of the bookbinding board can be painted, varnished and decorated.

Is the spider suitable for outdoor use? The board is untreated and should be protected from rain and constant damp. A covered, dry spot is a good place for it.

How tall is the spider at a given width? The height follows from the aspect ratio. At a width of 10 cm, the height is 6.5 cm.

Why does the spider have brown edges? The cutout is lasered. The brown edges come from this process and are typical of the cleanly cut outline.
