Wooden 8-point star in lavender – for crafting

The Advent wreath is up. The windows are still waiting for a bit of colour. And you want something that looks good without hours of sawing. A lavender wooden star with 8 points is made for this. It comes ready cut with smooth edges. You can decorate, paint or embellish it straight away. Hang one in the window or use a set for crafting with children. Either way, you go straight to the fun part.

What changes for you

• You can start right away instead of cutting and sanding. Every star is laser-cut, so the edges are smooth and accurate.
• Use the lavender star to decorate your window, your table or your gifts. The glaze is so thin that the wood grain still shows through, depending on the light.
• You can relax and craft with children too. The glaze meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• You design it just as you like. The natural back can be painted, written on or decorated with stickers.
• You'll find the right size for every project. Choose from 3 cm for small table scatter up to 50 cm for large displays, in 1 cm steps.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations from the shelf look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout becomes your own piece. You decide whether the star stays plain lavender, carries a name or becomes part of a garland. This way you make Christmas decorations, a Mother's Day gift or window decorations that suit your home. And the crafting itself becomes a cosy moment at the kitchen table.

Material & finish

The star is made of 3 mm poplar plywood. It is light and feels pleasant in the hand. The front has a lavender glaze. The glaze is applied so that the grain and small knots can still show through, depending on the light. This makes every star one of a kind. Wood is a natural material. It varies in shade and has its own texture. This is not a flaw, it is simply the nature of wood. The back is left natural and untreated. The laser-cut edge shows the typical brown colouring. Every star is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• On the gift table: a small star with a name on the parcel. The present doesn't need a second bow.
• For gifts of money: use the star as a tag or a base. A few notes turn into a lovingly made surprise.

Good to know about the eight-pointed star

The eight-pointed star is a classic motif of folk art. It has long been linked with the Star of Bethlehem, which is said to have shown the way to Bethlehem. That's why it suits Advent and Christmas so well. Use it as window decoration, a tree ornament or on cards and gifts. In lavender, you can also use it all year round.

Care & durability

There's not much to do: simply dust it dry when needed. The back is untreated, so the star is best kept in dry indoor rooms. Avoid constant moisture. This way it keeps its colour and shape for many crafting seasons.
