Santa sleigh silhouette, plywood, 5–50 cm

The Advent wreath is up and the first biscuits are in the oven. Only the windowsill still needs a Christmas motif. A wooden Santa sleigh brings exactly that motif into your home. It comes as an untreated cutout. You can paint it, decorate it or simply stand it up as it is. It's made for your Advent craft afternoon. Whether on its own as a decoration or as a set for the whole craft group, the sleigh turns out just the way you picture it.

What changes for you

• You design your Christmas decorations to suit your own taste. The plywood is untreated, so you can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or draw on it.
• You'll find the right size for every spot, from a small gift tag to a large shop window display. Widths range from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• No sawing or sanding needed. The sleigh is laser-cut and reaches you with smooth edges.
• When crafting with children, in a club or at nursery, you'll have enough shapes for everyone. The cutout is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• You can decorate with a good feeling. Every Santa sleigh silhouette is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this Santa sleigh makes a difference

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A sleigh you design yourself tells your story. The colours that suit your home. The little brushstrokes from the children. The shape that comes out of the Christmas box year after year. That's how decorations become part of your home.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That's where the smooth edges come from, along with the typical brown edge that gives the shape a fine outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why paint and glue take to it well. Wood is a natural material and is never completely uniform. Differences in shade, fine structures in the grain and small knots are normal. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the Santa sleigh

• At an Advent craft afternoon: every child paints their own sleigh. At the end, they proudly take a home-made Christmas decoration home.
• When wrapping presents: tie a small sleigh onto the ribbon as a tag. The parcel looks lovingly wrapped before it's even opened.
• On the festive table: a sleigh silhouette at every place, perhaps with a name written on it. Your guests will find their seat with a smile.
• In a café, bakery or at a Christmas market stall: combine several sizes on the counter or in the shop window. You get a consistent Christmas motif that's quick to set up and can be reused year after year.
• In the window or on a branch: hang the sleigh on a thread and it casts its silhouette in the candlelight. A calm Christmas mood with very little effort.

Good to know about the Santa sleigh

The idea of Santa travelling in a sleigh pulled by reindeer goes back to the famous 1823 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas”. Since then, the sleigh has been a firm part of Christmas imagery. That's exactly why the motif works in so many places. Everyone recognises it straight away, whether on a present, in a window or in a shop display.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Keep the untreated cutout dry and avoid constant damp. Then the sleigh will see you through many Christmases. If you paint or oil it, you decide on the finish and protection yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the sleigh? Yes. The wood is in its natural state and untreated. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or draw on it, just as you like.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The sleigh is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge that gives the shape a clear outline. The edges are smooth.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in shade and may show fine structures or small knots in the grain. This isn't a defect. It makes every piece one of a kind.

Which sizes are available? You choose the width between 5 cm and 50 cm, in 1 cm steps. Available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
