Cardboard skier for crafting – silhouette 5–50 cm

Outside, winter is setting in. Indoors, you want things to feel cosy. And the windowsill is still missing a motif that brings the season into your home. This cardboard skier is made for exactly that. It is a clear winter sports silhouette for crafting, painting and decorating. It suits your wintry window and table decorations. Use it small as table scatter or large in a shop window – you decide what it becomes.

What changes for you

• You design your winter decorations exactly the way you like them. The untreated cardboard can be covered, painted and varnished.
• You get the motif in exactly the size you need. Choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your crafting afternoon with children stays relaxed. The smooth surface takes paint well, and the silhouette is already cut out.
• Your decoration keeps its shape. The firm 1.2 mm bookbinding board does not bend as easily as thin craft card.
• You can decorate with a good conscience. The solid board is made from 100 % recycled material.

Why this cardboard skier makes a difference every day

A ready-made silhouette takes care of the hardest part: cutting it out neatly. You can go straight to the fun part – painting, sticking, hanging. In a short time you have finished winter decorations for your window, your table or your shop window. The motif brings movement and the anticipation of snow into the room. You don't need much else to decorate.

Material & finish

The silhouette is made of firm solid board in bookbinding quality. This material is known for its stability and gives your decoration a solid, calm look. The surface is smooth and untreated, so paint and glue stick reliably. The cutout is laser-cut. The typical brown edges come from the laser and give the motif a clear outline. Every skier is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, and is carefully finished.

How to use the cardboard skier

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own skier. In the end, a whole ski slope hangs in the kitchen window.
• For a wintry table: after painting, scatter small silhouettes across the table as table scatter. The laid table tells of winter before the meal even starts.
• Making money gifts: attach the note to the skier. The contribution to the ski holiday sits in plain view on the birthday table.
• In the window of a bakery, café or shop: a large 50 cm skier catches people's attention. It brings the winter sports theme into your display with little effort.
• For Christmas decorations and celebrations: Christmas crafts, a party or a club event for the ski season. The silhouette fits wherever you want a wintry mood.

Good to know about bookbinding board

Bookbinding board is traditionally used for sturdy book covers. That is exactly where a material has to keep its shape for years. Your decoration benefits from this strength too. The skier stands and hangs without losing its shape, even in the larger sizes up to 50 cm.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the cutout somewhere dry and protect it from lasting damp – untreated cardboard doesn't like water. That way the motif keeps its shape, and you can bring it out again season after season.
