Star crafts – 6-pointed plywood star, 3–50 cm

The Advent wreath is up and the candles are ready – but your windows, branches and presents are still missing something homemade. That's exactly what this 6-pointed wooden star was made for, right on your craft table: an untreated plywood cutout that you can paint, decorate or simply leave natural. A plain blank becomes your very own Christmas decoration – in exactly the size you need.

What changes for you

• You can get started straight away with painting, oiling or gluing on decorations – because the wood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well.
• Your project gets exactly the right size, from a small hanging ornament to a large window star – thanks to a choice of heights from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• There's no need for sanding or finishing – the laser-cut edges are smooth and cleanly cut.
• When doing Christmas crafts with children, you'll have a piece ready for everyone – because the star is also available in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
• What you are holding is a piece of honest craftsmanship. It was made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

Shop-bought decorations look the same everywhere. A star you design yourself tells your own story. In the window, on a branch or on a gift: the warm wood brings a natural calm to the room that shop-bought glitter decorations often lack. You choose the size and design yourself. So the result can be anything from a small hanging ornament to a large star for the wall.

Material & finish

The star is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood, which gives it the typical brown edge – a subtle contrast that defines the shape. The wood is untreated, not varnished and not stained: you can paint it, oil it, decorate it or leave it natural. As wood is a purely natural material, the shade and grain vary slightly from piece to piece, and small knots may occur – that's exactly what makes each star unique, and it's not a defect.

How to use your wooden star

• Making Christmas decorations on an Advent weekend: everyone at the table paints their own star – and afterwards a little gallery of your family hangs in the window.
• When wrapping presents: a star with a name on the parcel – and after unwrapping, the tag becomes a keepsake on the Christmas tree.
• Crafting with children at nursery, school or a club: thanks to the sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100, every child gets their own piece without you having to order individually.
• In a café, a bakery or at a market stall: large stars of 30 or 40 cm and up in the shop window give you seasonal decoration in just a few minutes. And you can redesign them every year.
• As table scatter on a festively laid table: small stars between candles and fir sprigs – and the table looks lovingly prepared without much effort.

Good to know about the star

The star is one of the oldest symbols of guidance and hope and has been an essential part of the Christmas season for centuries – from the Star of Bethlehem to the straw star on the tree. That's why this wooden cutout isn't just right for Advent crafts, but also for christenings, births or as a small token of good wishes all year round.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: keep the stars dry and you can bring them out again year after year. As the plywood is untreated, you should avoid prolonged moisture – if you paint or oil the stars, you'll give the surface extra protection and your very own colour.

• Available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100
• The wooden cutout is supplied in its natural state – untreated and ready for you to design

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the star? Yes. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor stained – you can paint it, oil it, decorate it or leave it natural.

Why do the edges have a brown rim? The star is laser-cut, which creates the typical brown edge – the edges are smooth and don't need any finishing.

How wide is the star at the height I've chosen? As a reference: at a height of 10 cm, the width is approx. 11.5 cm. The other sizes are in proportion.

Do all the stars look exactly the same? Wood is a natural material: shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. That's normal and makes every star unique.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the afternoon spent painting, gluing and laughing at the kitchen table – and about the star in the window that reminds you of it years later. Simply choose your size and quantity; you design the rest yourself.
