Why this cardboard peacock makes a difference in everyday life

Home-made decorations always tell a little story. It might be about a crafting afternoon, preparing for a celebration or a spontaneous idea. With the peacock as a blank, you have a clear, clean shape in your hands. It does part of the work for you without dictating the design. So crafting is not a big effort. It becomes a calm moment. At the end, something of your own stands on the table or hangs in the window.

Material & finish

The solid board in bookbinding quality feels pleasantly sturdy in your hand. It can also take firmer brushstrokes. The surface is smooth. The laser-cut edges are brown and neatly finished. So the peacock already looks like a finished object before you paint it. Because the board is untreated, paint and glue stick well. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the peacock

Since ancient times, the peacock has been a symbol of beauty and festive splendour. In Greek mythology, it was sacred to the goddess Hera. That is why the motif suits festive occasions so well. Think of weddings, engagements or birthdays, where the decorations should feel special.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Keep the peacock in a dry place. The board is untreated and does not like moisture. If you varnish or paint it, the surface becomes more robust. This way your decoration stays looking good for a long time.
