6-point cardboard star for crafting – book board, 3–50 cm

Your guests are about to arrive and the table is laid – all that's missing is a little decoration that really feels like you. With this 6-point cardboard star, you can simply make it yourself: paint it, decorate it, write on it – and there it is in the window or at each place setting, a cardboard star like no other. Made for your next afternoon of crafting.

What changes for you

• You can design your decorations exactly the way you imagine them – because the untreated surface can be painted, varnished, decorated or coloured in.
• Your result looks neat, thanks to the laser-cut outline with even, brown edges instead of frayed cut edges.
• You're working with a star that won't crease or warp – because the sturdy bookbinding board, 1.2 mm thick and 755 g/m², is far more stable than ordinary craft card.
• You'll find the right size for every idea – from 3 cm for tags and gifts up to 50 cm for shop windows, available in 1 cm steps.
• You can decorate with a clear conscience – as the board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard star makes a difference every day

Homemade decorations say more than shop-bought ones: the star on a present carries your personal touch, the garland above the table your colours. Because the shape is already neatly cut out, you skip the fiddly cutting and get straight to the fun part – designing. In just a few steps, you'll create a decoration that suits your occasion, whether it's a birthday, a wedding or the run-up to Christmas.

Material & finish

The stars are made from sturdy solid board in bookbinding quality. It's the same material that gives sturdy book covers their shape. So each star feels pleasantly firm in your hand. It also holds up to several layers of paint. The surface is smooth and untreated, so paint and glue stick well. The brown laser-cut edges are typical of the material and give each star a clear, clean outline. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the cardboard star

• For birthdays or Valentine's Day: stick stars onto presents or tie them on as gift tags – and the parcel feels special before it's even unwrapped.
• During Advent: hang large stars in the window or use a star as a stencil to spray-paint a jute bag – and your home is filled with Christmas spirit in just a few minutes.
• In a shop, café or at a market stall: write offers or prices on stars and place them on the counter or in the shop window – neatly presented and quickly swapped.

Good to know about the six-pointed star

The six-pointed shape has a famous model in nature: because of the structure of ice, snow crystals always grow with six arms. That's why this star is perfect for winter and Christmas decorations – from window decorations to tree ornaments, it looks like a large, long-lasting snowflake.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the stars somewhere dry and flat, and they'll keep their shape through many craft sessions and festive seasons. As with any untreated board, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If you'd like to use the stars outdoors, a coat of paint or varnish gives the surface extra protection.
