Why this wooden hexagram makes a difference

You see ready-made decorations everywhere. A star you've decorated yourself tells your own story. Hang it in the window, on a branch or use it as a gift tag. The wood feels slightly rough and easy to grip. It smells of the forest and looks different from printed decorations. Every star can be decorated differently, so the same cutout turns into something new each time.

Material & finish

The hexagram is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. That's why the edges are smooth and have the brown edge that laser cutting creates. The surface is untreated and takes paint, glue or oil well. Wood is a natural material. It varies in shade, has its own grain and may have small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind. It's not a flaw, it's simply the nature of wood.

How to use the wooden hexagram

• Christmas crafts with children: each child paints their own star. In the end, the tree is full of decorations everyone is proud to point out.
• Homemade Christmas decorations: hang several stars in different sizes in the window. Your windows look festive without looking cluttered.
• As a gift tag or for gifts of money: tie a star with a written message to a ribbon. An envelope becomes a small, personal gift.
• In nurseries, schools or craft groups: with a set of 25, 50 or 100 pieces, everyone gets the same blank. You can prepare the craft session without any cutting.
• For shop windows and shop decor: decorate and hang large stars up to 50 cm tall. A seasonal theme is quick to set up and just as quick to change.

Good to know about the hexagram

The hexagram is much more than a geometric shape. As the Star of David, it is the best-known symbol of Judaism. As a simple six-pointed star, it has been part of festive decorations for centuries. So the cutout suits religious occasions just as well as wintry star decorations in the window or on the tree.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The untreated wood stays looking good for a long time if you keep it dry and away from constant moisture. If the star is going to hang outdoors, a protective coat of paint or a glaze of your choice helps.
