Why this hexagram makes a difference in everyday life

A good blank takes the most tedious job off your hands: cutting evenly. Instead of struggling with scissors and a ruler, you just get started. In the end, the stars in your window all have the same clean shape. Every star has the same form, whether in the Advent window, on a garland or on the laid table.

Material & finish

This solid board in bookbinding quality has a grammage of 755 g/m². It feels noticeably sturdy in your hand. It doesn't warp as easily as thin card while you work on it. The surface is smooth and untreated. You can paint it, stick things on it, coat it or varnish it. The paint adheres directly to the material. The brown edges come from laser cutting. They give every cutout a clean, even edge. The hexagram is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the hexagram
