8-point star – golden wooden star for crafts, 3–50 cm

The first fir branches are on the table and the craft box is open. You are just missing the one piece that makes it all shine. A golden wooden star is made for your craft table. The gold-lacquered front catches the light. The natural back is ready for painting and decorating. With a few twigs, some string and this 8-point star, your Christmas decoration is done in no time at all.

What changes for you

• You get a golden highlight for your window, table or gift straight away. Depending on the light, the golden glaze even lets the grain and small knots show through. That makes it look lively rather than flat.
• You can craft with children – the stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• You can carry on decorating it just as you like. The untreated back takes paint, glue and writing with no trouble.
• You will find the right size for every project. Choose from 3 cm for a Christmas card up to 50 cm for a shop window, in 1 cm steps.
• You save yourself tedious sawing and sanding. Every star is laser-cut and arrives accurately sized with smooth edges.

Why this golden wooden star makes a difference day to day

Shop-bought decorations often look the same as everywhere else. A wooden star you decorate yourself turns into something that really suits your home. Leave it plain gold on the tip of a branch, or let children decorate it in bright colours. Wood has a warm, matt surface. So the star looks calm and understated instead of dazzling.

Material & finish

The star is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That is where the typical brown edge comes from. It frames the star finely and gives it a handmade look. The golden glaze is on the front only. The back stays natural and untreated, so you can paint it or stick things on as you like. Wood is a purely natural material. It is never completely even. Some pieces are lighter, some darker, with small irregularities or knots in the grain. This is not a flaw. It makes every piece one of a kind. Every star is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the golden wooden star

• Making Christmas decorations: Tie a few stars to branches or into your door wreath. Your hallway will welcome guests with a festive look all through Advent.
• Crafting with children: The golden side is already finished and shiny, and the natural side gets painted. At the end, every child takes their own star home.
• Making money gifts: Use a small star as a tag on the envelope or as a holder for a rolled-up note. A quick present becomes a loving gesture.
• Making an Advent calendar: Write numbers on 24 small stars and attach them to the little bags. Your calendar then has one consistent look throughout.
• Making Christmas cards: Stick on a 3 cm star. The wooden piece gives the card noticeably more weight than any printed one.
• For bakeries, cafés or shops: Put large stars up to 50 cm in the shop window or small ones on the counter. With a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100, your seasonal decoration is up quickly and looks consistent everywhere.

Good to know about the 8-point star

Wondering what an 8-point star means? In Christian tradition, the Star of Bethlehem is often shown with eight points. It stands for hope and guidance. That is why this shape suits Advent and Christmas so well. You can also use it all year round as a symbol on cards and gifts.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Dusting it with a dry cloth now and then is enough. As the back is untreated, keep the star away from constant moisture. That way the golden shine will last for many years and many Advent seasons.
