Why this wooden pentagon makes a difference in everyday life

A blank that is already cut and ready takes the hardest part off your hands – the cutting. You go straight to the fun part: designing, painting, decorating. The shape is clear and calm. So the finished result looks tidy, whether in the window, on the wall or as a tag on a gift.

Material & finish

The pentagon is made of 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That's why it has the typical brown edge, which gives the cutout a fine, finished look. The surface is left natural. It takes paint, glue or oil well. Wood is a purely natural material. Some pieces are lighter, some darker. The grain varies, and there may be small knots now and then. This makes every piece one of a kind – not a flaw, but character.

How to use the wooden pentagon

• Making Christmas decorations: paint the pentagons and hang them up with ribbon. Your window or tree gets handmade decorations you can bring out again every year.
• Crafting with children: every child designs their own pentagon. At the end, they proudly take home something they really made themselves.
• As an Advent calendar: number 24 small pentagons and hang them on a string. Your calendar is ready, and you can fill it again every year.
• For gifts of money: write on the pentagon and attach a note. A plain envelope becomes a lovingly designed surprise.
• In a shop, café or at the weekly market: written on as a price tag or sign, the pentagon gives your counter and shelves a uniform, natural display.

Good to know about the pentagon

Pentagon is simply the Greek word for a five-sided shape. The name comes from "penta" (five) and "gonia" (angle). The five-sided shape is familiar from geometry and architecture. Its clear symmetry is what makes it so popular as a basic shape for decorations, signs and learning materials.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Store the untreated wood in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. Then it keeps its shape. If you paint, varnish or oil it, you protect the surface even more. Your finished piece will then look good for a long time.
