Why these plywood strips make a difference day to day

If you like decorating and crafting, you'll know this: an idea often fails not for lack of inspiration but for lack of the right material. With a stock of coloured wooden strips, you simply reach for the shelf instead of heading out first. A free evening turns into a finished decoration. Real wood also brings a warmth that printed paper or plastic can't quite match.

Material & finish

The strips are made of sturdy birch plywood and are cleanly finished. Both sides are colour-stained and sealed with a durable clear varnish. This protects the colour and gives the surface a pleasantly smooth feel. The stain and clear varnish are water-based. Wood is a purely natural material. Differences in shade, small irregularities in the grain or knots are normal and not a defect. That is exactly what makes each piece one of a kind. The strips are made in Thuringia, Germany.

How to use the plywood strips

• On a crafting afternoon with the children: stick things on the strips, decorate them, put them together. By the evening, the home-made garland is already hanging in the children's room.
• For seasonal decorations: put a few coloured wooden strips in your door wreath or on the windowsill. Your home looks lovingly decorated without much effort.
• In a shop or at a market stall: use the strips as a coloured base for lettering and small signs. They bring structure to your display – natural and without a plastic look.
• In a craft class or workshop: the set of 10 gives you enough material for the whole group. Thanks to the finished surface, there's no need to prime.

Good to know about birch plywood

Plywood consists of several layers of veneer glued crosswise. That makes it much more dimensionally stable than a solid wood strip of the same thickness. This is exactly why these cutouts, just 3 mm thick, are so pleasant to craft with. They are easy to handle and still reliably keep their shape.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply wipe the varnished surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged moisture, and the colour and wood will last a long time.
