Wooden holly – holly leaf V2 in poplar plywood

Two weeks until Christmas. The table should look festive, and the window could use some green. But plastic decorations just don't suit your home. A wooden holly leaf brings exactly that natural, wintry feel. Use it as a gift tag, on a branch in the window or on the laid table. It comes unfinished and ready to paint, so the cutout is made for your Christmas decorations. Leave it natural or decorate it together with the children.

What changes for you

• The holly leaf in unfinished poplar plywood gives your Christmas decorations a look all of their own. The natural grain of the wood stays visible.
• You can start crafting straight away, with no cutting out or finishing. The edges are laser cut, smooth and clean.
• You decorate it just as you like: paint, glue, varnish or oil it. The unfinished wood takes paint and oil well.
• Your motif always fits, from a small gift tag to a large window decoration. You choose the height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You don't need to draw any outlines yourself. The leaf veins are laser-scored and show up as subtle dark brown lines.

Why this wooden holly leaf makes a difference in everyday life

Shop-bought decorations look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout you decorate yourself tells your own story. Paint it in classic green and red, leave it natural or gild it. The leaf fits quietly into your home. It brings real material to your table, windowsill and gifts. Christmas crafting with children turns the blank into an afternoon together that you'll remember.

Material & finish

The holly leaf is made from 3 mm poplar plywood and laser cut. This gives precise shapes and smooth edges that don't splinter. The wood is unfinished, neither varnished nor stained. That makes it especially easy to paint, glue or oil. As a natural material, each leaf varies in shade. Small irregularities in the grain or fine knots are part of it. This makes every piece unique. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about holly

Holly is an evergreen shrub. For centuries it has been a symbol of life and hope in the middle of winter. That's why its leaf still decorates wreaths, cards and tables during Advent and Christmas. It makes the motif a classic for everything you create between the first Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Store the cutouts in a dry place and they will keep their shape for many years. As the wood is unfinished, protect it from constant moisture. A coat of paint, varnish or oil makes it more resistant.
