Dark red wooden heart – lacquered on both sides, with hole, 3–50 cm

Grandma's gift box still needs something on top. You'd like a little colour hanging in the window. And for the wedding money gifts, you want something that doesn't look like it came out of a craft box. A dark red wooden heart with a hole is made for this. Thread a ribbon through it, hang it up or glue it on. A plain package or a bare branch turns into something thoughtful. Both sides are lacquered, so the heart looks good from every side, however it turns.

What changes for you

• You simply hang the heart up, with no drilling or gluing. The ready-made hole is 3 mm in diameter, so a thin ribbon or string goes straight through.
• Your decoration looks the same from every side, even when the heart turns on its ribbon. That's because it's lacquered dark red on both sides.
• You get exactly the size your project needs. Choose from 3 cm for small gift tags up to 50 cm for the wall, in 1 cm steps.
• No tedious sawing or sanding. The laser-cut edges are smooth and accurate, so you can start crafting straight away.
• For bigger projects like wedding decorations or Christmas crafts with children, you'll have plenty to hand. The hearts come singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden heart makes a difference every day

A heart made of real wood feels heavier and sturdier than one made of paper or plastic. Its surface has a visible texture instead of a flat, uniform finish. The dark red colour still lets the grain show through. So your decoration looks natural rather than generic. On a gift, in the window or on the set table, you can attach the heart, take it off and use it again. It won't end up in the bin after the celebration.

Material & finish

The heart is made from 3 mm birch plywood and laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck. That's where the typical, slightly browned edge comes from. It gives the heart a finely framed look. The dark red lacquer on both sides doesn't cover everything: the grain and small knots remain visible. This isn't a flaw. It's simply the nature of a natural material, and it makes every heart one of a kind. The clean finish means you can use it straight away without any reworking.

How to use your wooden heart

• Making money gifts: tie the heart to the bow on an envelope or a small box. Your money gift instantly looks personal rather than purely practical.
• Making Christmas decorations: hang several small hearts on a branch or in the window. The room gets warm splashes of colour without much setting up.
• Crafting with children: the hearts can be painted, decorated and have things stuck on. At the end, every child holds a Mother's Day or Father's Day gift that can really be given.
• Weddings and anniversaries: put a heart at every place setting or use it as a tag on the guest favours. Your guests find a small gesture as soon as they sit down.
• For cafés, bakeries or shops: hearts in a suitable size on the counter, in the shop window or on product baskets. It's a seasonal decoration for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Advent. It's quick to put up and lasts for several years.

Good to know about the heart

Since the Middle Ages, the heart has been the best-known symbol of love and affection. You'll find it on playing cards, gingerbread hearts and Valentine's cards. That's exactly why a wooden heart works for so many occasions. It suits a wedding as well as Mother's Day, Christmas or simply a small thank-you in between.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. For dust, a dry, soft cloth is enough. Avoid prolonged moisture, because wood is a natural material. Stored dry, the heart keeps its colour and shape for many seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hang the heart up straight away? Yes. The hole has a diameter of 3 mm. A thin ribbon, a cord or wire fits through it, with no drilling needed.

Is the heart red on both sides? Yes, it's lacquered dark red on both sides. Even when it turns on its ribbon, it always shows a finished, lacquered side.

Why does each heart look slightly different? Birch plywood is a natural material. The lacquer lets the grain and small knots show through. This makes every heart one of a kind. It's not a flaw, it's character.

How wide is the heart at the height I've chosen? Height and width are the same. A heart 10 cm high is also 10 cm wide.

Can I decorate the heart further? Yes. You can paint, stick things on and decorate the lacquered surface. It's ideal for crafting with children or for personalised gift tags.

The birch plywood is just the material. What counts is the moment someone picks up your gift. They see the little red heart and know you put thought into it. Just choose your size and quantity. You design the rest.
