Why this cardboard cutout makes a difference in everyday life

Decorations you make yourself feel more personal than shop-bought ones. With a ready-cut motif, you actually have the time for it. You don't need to draw and cut out first. Instead, you can go straight to the fun part: mixing colours, designing, hanging up. An afternoon at the kitchen table gives you decorations that suit you and your occasion. That might be a wedding, a birthday or a party at the club house.

How to use the gentian flower

• Crafting with children: Each child paints their own flower. At the end, a colourful flower meadow hangs in the bedroom window.
• For a wedding or engagement: Spread small flowers on the table as table scatter. The table gets a consistent motif without lots of decorating.
• For money gifts: Write on the flower or decorate it and attach it as a tag. The envelope becomes a lovingly made gift.
• In a café or at the market: Hang large flowers at the counter or stall. An Alpine theme is set up in a few minutes and packed away just as quickly.
• As a template: Trace the outline onto paper or fabric. You then have a reusable motif for cards, garlands and more.

Good to know about the gentian

The blue gentian is one of the best-known Alpine flowers. In many places it is protected, so it is better not to pick it. As a cardboard motif, it still brings the Alpine mood into your home. Use it for a mountain hut party, a Bavarian-style celebration or as a reminder of your last mountain holiday.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the cardboard flower dry and away from constant moisture. It will then keep its shape and you can reuse it many times. Painting or varnishing makes the surface more robust.
