Why this wooden gentian flower makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations off the shelf can quickly look generic. With a wooden cutout in natural wood, you decide how the result looks. Paint it bold blue for mountain hut decorations. Leave it natural for a calm look. Or make it colourful when crafting with kids. That way your decorations suit your home, your party or your shop – not the other way round.

Material & finish

The flower is made of 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That is why it has smooth edges and the typical brown rim, which gives the motif a clear outline with no extra work. The surface is untreated, not varnished and not glazed. You can paint, oil or decorate it however you like. Wood is a purely natural material. Differences in shade, fine grain patterns and small knots are normal and not a flaw. They make every piece unique.

• Crafting with kids: every child paints their own flower. In the end, a colourful flower meadow hangs in the window, and everyone is proud of it.

• For a homemade Mother's Day gift: paint the flower and stick it onto a card or a present. A simple parcel becomes something handmade with love.
• In a café, at the weekly market or in a farm shop: decorate your counter and display in Alpine style with the flowers. Setting up takes very little effort.
• For a club party or a fun night at the mountain hut: with a set of 50 or 100, you can decorate garlands, tables and walls in the same style. Everything looks consistent.

Good to know about the gentian

The blue gentian has long been a symbol of the Alps. It is one of the best-known motifs in Alpine folk art. You find it on traditional costumes, house fronts and traditional decorations. That is why the flower suits mountain hut evenings, Oktoberfest decorations, Alpine festivals and anything meant to bring a bit of mountain romance into your home.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Keep the untreated flowers dry and avoid constant moisture, and they will keep their shape for a long time. If you want to use them outdoors or in a damp place, a coat of paint, oil or varnish gives the wood extra protection.
