Make a big sun – cardboard sun in bookbinding board

The craft table is set. The paints are ready. The children can hardly wait to get started. With a cardboard sun, you have a blank that lets you begin straight away. Paint it, stick things on it, hang it up. It's made for your craft afternoon. A simple shape turns into a window picture, a garland or a decoration for the party table.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting straight away, with no cutting of your own. The sun arrives neatly lasered with smooth edges.
• You design the sun exactly the way you picture it. The sturdy bookbinding board can be glued, painted, varnished and coloured with standard craft paints.
• Your decoration keeps its shape, even when little hands grab it firmly. That's thanks to 1.2 mm solid board at 755 g/m².
• You'll find the right size for every project, from small table scatter to a big sun for the wall. You choose the diameter from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can craft with a clear conscience – the board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard sun makes a difference in everyday life

Crafting with children, preparing a summer party or decorating a shop window: a ready-made basic shape takes the tedious part off your hands. It leaves room for the fun part. Instead of struggling with scissors and templates, you sit at the table together and get creative. In the end, a sun hangs in the window that really looks like summer. Not like a compromise.

Material & finish

The sun is made of sturdy bookbinding board. This is the stable solid board that bookbinders also use for book covers. It feels pleasantly firm in your hand. It warps much less than thin craft card when you paint it. You can also write on it easily. Thanks to laser cutting, the edges are smooth and the outline is clean. You can see that on every finished piece. Every sun is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• As a garland for a garden party or Valentine's Day: thread several suns together and hang them up. The room feels festive in just a few minutes.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: suns with lettering announce your summer offer. Quick to design, quick to swap and neatly presented.

Good to know about the sun

The sun has always stood for warmth, light and joy of life. Hardly any motif is so directly linked to good spirits. That's why it suits more than summer decorations. It fits any occasion that calls for cheerfulness: from a children's birthday party to a garden party to a welcome display in your shop.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cardboard sun in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. That way it keeps its shape and firmness through many craft sessions and parties. Once decorated, you can hang it up again year after year.
