Halloween cat craft – sitting wooden silhouette, 5–50 cm

The windows are decorated and the pumpkins are carved. At the craft table, the children are waiting with brushes and black paint. That is just the moment for this sitting Halloween cat in wood. It is a laser-cut plywood cutout, made for your October crafting afternoon. Leave the simple silhouette natural or paint it black. Then stand it up as decoration on a window, door or party table.

• You hold a neatly made piece from our own production. It is made by Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden cat makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made plastic decorations look the same everywhere. A cat silhouette in wood that you decorate yourself does not. You decide whether it keeps its natural wood look or turns jet black and mysterious. Every piece shows your own hand. This way, your window, door and table get a Halloween mood that is homemade and suits your home.

Material & finish

The cat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the silhouette clearly and finely. The edges are smooth and the finish is neat, so paint and glue adhere well. Wood is a purely natural material. Its shade varies, it shows a lively grain and it may have small knots or irregularities. This is not a flaw. It is what makes each piece one of a kind.

How to use the Halloween cat

• Crafting with children on the weekend before Halloween: each child paints their own cat. Afterwards they proudly carry it to the window.
• On the evening of the Halloween party: several cats in different sizes on the windowsill, with fairy lights behind them. From outside, the silhouettes stand out spookily.
• On the party table: a small cat at each place, labelled with a name. The place card doubles as a party favour.
• In a café or bakery: cats painted black in the shop window and counter display. Quick to set up, right for the season and easy to store away after the festivities.
• For nurseries, schools or craft groups: the set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 is ready to go. Every child gets the same motif, and you save yourself the pre-cutting.

Good to know about the black cat

For centuries, the black cat has been part of folklore about witches and dark nights. That is why it is still one of the best-known Halloween motifs today. It is also why the silhouette works so well. Even the simple shape is instantly recognised as Halloween decoration, whether you paint it black or leave it natural.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Store the untreated wooden cat in a dry place and protect it from lasting moisture. Then you can bring it out again every Halloween for many years. Treating it with paint, varnish or oil makes the surface more resistant.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the cat or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or oil it. It is ideal for crafting and decorating.

Where does the dark edge come from? The silhouette is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown edge. It is part of the process and also gives smooth, clean edges.

How wide is the cat at my chosen height? The proportions stay the same. At a height of 10 cm, the cat is 5.5 cm wide. From this you can work out the width for any other height.

Why don't all the cutouts look exactly the same? Wood is a natural material. Shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This is what makes every cat one of a kind.

Is the cat suitable for outdoor use? The wood is untreated and should be protected from lasting moisture. Outdoors, we recommend a sheltered, dry spot or a protective coat of paint.

Picture the moment: the painted cats sit at the window, dusk falls outside and your home is ready for Halloween. Just choose your size and quantity. Then the crafting afternoon can begin.
