8-point star – yellow wooden star in plywood, 3–50 cm

The Advent wreath is ready, and the children are already at the table with their brushes. Now all you need is something to decorate. A yellow 8-point wooden star is just right for this. It's already coloured, cut to exact size and ready to use. Hang it in the window or on a garland, or use it as a base for painting. With this 8-point star, an idea quickly becomes finished decoration.

What changes for you

• You don't need to prime it, because the front is already glazed yellow. Unpack it, hang it up or keep decorating.
• You can craft with the star together with children, as the glaze meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• Your decorations look consistent, because every star is laser-cut. This gives it smooth edges and a precise shape.
• You'll find the right size for every project. The star is available from 3 cm to 50 cm in height, in 1 cm steps.
• You can design the back just the way you like. It is natural and untreated – ideal for painting, writing on or sticking things to.

Why this 8-point star makes a difference in everyday life

An eight-pointed star makes a room look festive straight away – with very little effort from you. The yellow catches the eye in the window, on a branch or on the laid table. Depending on the light, the wood grain still shows through the glaze. So the decoration looks natural rather than artificial. In just a few steps, you have a decoration that looks lovingly made.

Material & finish

The star is made of 3 mm plywood. It is light and comfortable to hold, and easy to handle for small hands too. Laser cutting creates smooth, precise edges with the typical brown rim. This rim gives each eight-pointed star a finely drawn outline. The yellow glaze is applied with care. Depending on the light, it lets the wood grain and small knots show through. Wood is a natural material, and these differences make every piece one of a kind. The star is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• In the window: hang several stars in different sizes on threads – and the warm yellow catches the eye of everyone passing by.
• On a present: write a name on a small star and use it instead of a gift tag – the parcel then carries the recipient's name directly.

• In a café or shop: place stars in the window display or around the counter. They're set up in a few minutes and stay clearly visible all season.

Good to know about the 8-point star

The 8-point star has a long tradition. In Christian art, the Star of Bethlehem is often shown with eight points. The number eight has long stood for new beginnings. So the eight-pointed star suits not only Advent and Christmas decorations. It also fits christenings, births and any occasion where something new begins.

Care & durability

There's not much to do: a dry cloth is enough to remove dust. As the back is untreated, the star lasts longest indoors in a dry place. Avoid constant moisture, and the yellow surface will stay looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the glaze suitable for children? Yes, the yellow glaze meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3. This makes the star suitable for craft projects with children too.

Are both sides yellow? No, only the front is glazed. The back is left natural and untreated – ideal if you want to paint or write on it yourself.

Why does the star have a brown edge? The star is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim along the edges. It gives a clean outline and is part of the production process.

Does every star look the same? The laser cut makes the shape and size precise. As wood is a natural material, the shade, grain and small knots can vary. Every piece is one of a kind.

Can the star be used outdoors? The back is untreated. We therefore recommend using it indoors in a dry place, or in a sheltered, dry spot.

This is more than a wooden cutout. It's the moment your self-decorated star hangs in the window and makes your home a little more festive. Just choose your size and quantity – and get started.
