For a reindeer antler cutout to paint, decorate, or use in a craft project, choose the material and size that fit the job. The 2-inch unfinished birch shape is best for small projects, while the raw-steel designs come in 5-, 8-, 12-, and 16-inch sizes for larger craft and wall-art uses. Each option is unfinished, so plan to add a finish if your project calls for one.

2-Inch Birch Wood Antler Cutout
This small antler shape is made from unfinished Baltic birch and measures 2 inches at its longest point. The wood is 1/8 inch thick, giving buyers a clearly specified size for planning small craft layouts.
Best for: Small seasonal crafts, miniature displays, and projects that need a compact wood embellishment. It was selected as the only wood cutout in this group, making it the relevant choice when metal is not the desired material.
Consider: Its 2-inch size may be too small for a standalone wall feature. The wood is unfinished, so decorating or sealing it may be part of the project.
5-Inch Raw Steel Antler Cutout
This 5-inch cutout is made from 20-gauge mild steel, CNC plasma cut, and hand sanded after cutting. Its unfinished raw surface can be painted, sealed, clear coated, or intentionally rusted according to the project’s look.
Best for: Buyers who want a compact metal antler shape for a small display or craft. It offers the same stated material and finishing options as the larger steel sizes while taking up less space.
Consider: The raw steel is not described as pre-painted or sealed. Choose another size if the cutout needs to be prominent from a distance.
8-Inch Raw Steel Antler Cutout
The 8-inch version is a middle-size option made from 20-gauge mild steel. It is CNC plasma cut and hand sanded, and its raw finish can be painted, sealed, clear coated, or rusted.
Best for: Crafters seeking a larger piece than the 5-inch shape without moving to the 12- or 16-inch formats. It was selected as a practical middle size for comparing scale within the steel range.
Consider: This is still unfinished metal. Select a finish suitable for the intended display rather than assuming the cutout arrives protected or ready to hang.
12-Inch Raw Steel Antler Cutout
This 12-inch antler cutout uses 20-gauge mild steel and is CNC plasma cut, then hand sanded. The unfinished surface supports several finishing approaches, including paint, sealant, clear coat, or a rusted appearance.
Best for: A larger craft or decor project where a 5- or 8-inch silhouette may look undersized. The 12-inch measurement offers a defined step up in scale while retaining the listed steel construction.
Consider: The listing describes raw, unfinished steel rather than a completed decor piece. Account for the work and supplies needed to finish it.
16-Inch Raw Steel Antler Cutout
At 16 inches, this is the largest listed steel cutout. It is made from 20-gauge mild steel, cut with a CNC plasma process, and hand sanded. The raw metal can be painted, sealed, clear coated, or rusted.
Best for: Buyers planning a large-format antler craft or wall-art project who want the biggest size in this selection. It is the strongest fit when visibility and scale matter more than compact storage.
Consider: Its larger dimensions call for more display and storage space than the smaller options. No mounting hardware or finished coating is specified in the supplied product details.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Reindeer Antler Cutout
Which material fits your project?
Choose unfinished Baltic birch for a small, lightweight wood craft. The 2-inch shape is the only wood option listed here. Choose mild steel if you want a metal silhouette and prefer a larger choice of dimensions. The steel products share the same stated construction and finishing options.
What size should you buy?
Measure the space where the cutout will go before choosing. The 5-inch steel shape is the smallest metal option; 8 inches provides a middle-size alternative, while 12 and 16 inches suit projects that need a larger outline. The wood piece is 2 inches measured by its longest dimension.
Does the unfinished surface need treatment?
Yes, consider the intended appearance and use before buying. The wood shape is unfinished, and the steel options are raw and unfinished. The steel listing specifically names painting, sealing, clear coating, and rusting as possible treatments. Product details do not specify a finished coating.
Is a cutout the same as a costume or ornament?
No. These five selections are flat craft shapes made of wood or steel. A plush antler headband is wearable, and hanging antler ornaments are separate decorative products. Choose a cutout for craft or display projects, not for a wearable costume accessory.
