Skier 2 cardboard cutout for crafting – 5–50 cm

It's getting wintry outside. You'd like a motif for the windowsill, the Advent calendar or the craft table with the kids that says snow and mountains at once. This cardboard skier is made for that. It's a clear winter sports silhouette in sturdy bookbinding board. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply hang it up as it is. A simple idea becomes your own skier decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start right away if you want to make a skier. The silhouette is already cut out, so all you do is decorate it.
• Your decoration keeps its shape and stands well. The 1.2 mm solid board is much firmer than ordinary craft card.
• You decorate it just as you like. The untreated, smooth surface reliably takes paint, varnish and glue.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project. The height can be chosen from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can decorate with a clear conscience, as the board is made from 100 % recycled material.

Why this cardboard skier makes a difference every day

A single, clear motif often works better than lots of small bits. The skier brings a wintry feel to the window, the table or the Advent calendar. You don't need to spend long arranging things. You choose the size and the design yourself, so it fits your decorations – not the other way round. The result is a winter scene you've made yourself, without it taking much of your time.

Material & finish

The solid bookbinding-quality board weighs 755 g/m². It doesn't warp as quickly as thin card while you work on it. The outline is cleanly laser-cut, which creates the characteristic brown edges. This is typical of the process and gives the motif a natural outline. The surface is smooth and untreated. You can stick things on it, paint it or varnish it. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the skier

• Crafting with children: making cardboard skis has rarely been this easy. Each child paints their own skier. At the end, a little downhill team hangs in the window.
• On a winter-themed table: a small skier as a place card at every seat. Your guests will find their places with a smile.
• In the Advent calendar: 24 doors, one motif running through them all. Numbered, the silhouette becomes a tag and ties the countdown together.
• For weddings, birthdays or winter parties: made into a garland or tags, the motif brings a subtle winter sports theme to your celebration.
• In the shop window or on the counter: a large skier up to 50 cm tall quickly marks the season in a bakery, café or shop. It's set up or hung in a few minutes.

Good to know about the skier

Alpine skiing has been an Olympic discipline since the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Since then it has been part of how we picture winter. That's exactly why the skier silhouette works so well as a decoration. It instantly stands for snow, mountains and the start of the season – in the shop window as well as on the Advent calendar.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the untreated board somewhere dry and keep it away from lasting moisture. It will then keep its shape and can be used for many winter seasons. If you varnish or paint the motif, the surface becomes more resistant too.

Frequently asked questions
