The nativity scene is set up and the figures are in place. Only the piece above the stable that completes the scene is still missing. A Star of Bethlehem made of HDF is just right for this. It is a natural, untreated blank that you decorate exactly to suit your Christmas decorations. If you want to buy a Star of Bethlehem that you can paint, cover or simply hang up as it is, you've come to the right place.
What changes for you
- You will find exactly the size that suits your nativity scene, your window or your craft project. The star can be ordered from 5 cm to 50 cm in height, in 1 cm steps.
- You can start decorating straight away, with no sanding needed. That is thanks to the smooth, laser-cut edges.
- Your paints and glue will hold reliably. That's because the HDF is untreated, with no varnish or glaze.
- Crafting with children, a craft group or for a parish fair? You won't need to order several times. The star is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.
- You receive a cleanly made piece from our own production at Bütic in Pößneck – made in Thuringia.
Why this Star of Bethlehem makes a difference
A motif everyone knows brings Christmas spirit into the room straight away. Hang it in the window, above the nativity scene or as part of your own homemade decorations. You choose the size and design yourself. So the star fits into your home instead of looking like off-the-shelf decor. And painting together makes for the kind of cosy afternoon people like to remember.
Material & finish
The star is made of 3 mm thick HDF/MDF fibreboard. It is sturdy enough to hang up or stand, yet easy to work with. Laser cutting gives smooth edges and a clean outline, so nobody gets splinters. HDF boards are made from pressed wood fibres and always show varying textures. Fibres may turn out lighter or darker, and small irregularities are possible. This makes every piece unique. And it doesn't matter once you paint or cover the star. HDF is a fibreboard like MDF, just more densely compressed. This makes it harder, and it stays stable even when thin.

How to use your Star of Bethlehem
- Above the nativity scene: Hang the star in its traditional place above the stable. The nativity scene looks complete at a glance.
- In the window: Paint several stars gold or white and hang them in different sizes in the window. Christmas will shine out to everyone passing in the street.
- Crafting with children: Each child decorates their own star with paint, glitter or napkin decoupage. At the end, they proudly take their work home.
- In model making and decoration projects: Use the blank as a base shape to embellish, cover or paint – just as you like.
- In a shop or café: With a set of 25 or 50 stars, you can decorate shop windows, counters or tables in a uniform style. They are quick to hang and easy to take down again.
Good to know about the Star of Bethlehem
The Star of Bethlehem is the sign of the Holy Night. According to the Gospel of Matthew, it showed the Wise Men from the East the way to the manger. That is why it is still part of every nativity scene and Advent decoration today. As an untreated blank, you can design it your own way for a church, parish, school or your own living room.
Care & durability
There's not much you need to do. Keep the star dry and it will last you for many Christmases. As the HDF is untreated, you should avoid constant moisture. A coat of paint gives the surface extra protection and makes the star your own.

- Height of your choice: 5 cm to 50 cm, in 1 cm steps

Frequently asked questions
Can I paint the star or stick things on it? Yes. The HDF comes in its natural state, so it is untreated. Paints, varnishes and glue stick directly to the surface.
Do I need to sand the edges? No. The star is laser-cut and therefore has smooth edges. You can start decorating straight away.
Why do the boards look different? HDF is made of pressed wood fibres. These can vary in shade and may show small irregularities. This is typical of the material and makes every star one of a kind.
Which size suits my nativity scene? As a guide: at 10 cm high, the star is 9 cm wide. You choose the height in 1 cm steps, so you will find the right size for any nativity scene and any window.
This is about more than a fibreboard cutout. It is about the moment the star hangs above your nativity scene and the Christmas story finds its place in your home. Simply choose the size and quantity. You design the rest.
