Why this wooden Christmas star makes a difference every day

During Advent, wood brings a calm to a room that shiny mass-produced items can't match. Hang it in the window, on the Advent wreath or use it as a gift tag. The unvarnished wood can be painted, decorated or glazed. So each piece fits your home, not the other way round. A few plain cutouts become decorations made by your own hand.

Material & finish

The star is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That is why it has smooth edges and the typical brown rim. The rim gives every shape a clear outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can paint, decorate, coat or oil it as you wish. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain. Now and then you will see small knots. This is not a flaw. It is what makes each piece one of a kind. The cutout is carefully made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the Christmas star

The star is one of the oldest symbols of Christmas. It stands for the Star of Bethlehem. According to tradition, it showed the way to the manger. So the shape suits not only windows and trees. It also works for nativity plays, Advent bazaars and Christmas parish fairs.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the stars in a dry place and avoid constant damp. Then they will keep their shape and natural look for many Christmases. Untreated wood stays open to new ideas. You can still redesign it years later.
