Why this holly leaf makes a difference in everyday life

With a ready-made silhouette, your project starts where the fun is: with the decorating. Whether you are unwinding on your own or crafting with children, everyone starts with a clean shape and success in sight. In the end, your home will have window decorations, tags or garlands that nobody else has. That is because they have passed through your hands.

Material & finish

The solid board in bookbinding quality is 1.2 mm thick and weighs 755 g/m². This makes it pleasantly firm. The leaf feels stable in your hand. It does not warp as easily as thin card while you decorate it. You can paint, varnish and stick things onto the smooth surface. The laser-cut brown edges give the shape a clear, calm outline. Every holly leaf is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is cleanly finished and made from 100 % recycled material.

How to use the holly leaf

• Christmas crafts with children: everyone gets a leaf and the paints are ready. In the end, there is a colourful garland that everyone is proud of.
• On the gift table: a small leaf with a name written on it as a tag. Every parcel looks lovingly prepared.
• In the window: several leaves in different sizes hung up. Your window decoration brings a Christmas feeling into the room long before the tree is up.
• Making Christmas cards: stick on a 5 cm leaf. A plain card becomes a little greeting with character.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: spread a set of leaves across the counter and display, or arrange them as table scatter. Your seasonal decoration is ready in a few minutes and looks well thought out.
• For weddings, birthdays or winter parties: leaves scattered on the table. With little effort, the whole table follows one shared motif.

Good to know about holly

With its evergreen, jagged leaves, holly is one of the oldest Christmas symbols in Europe. For a long time, it has decorated wreaths, cards and festive tables. It stands for life and hope in the middle of winter. That is why the motif fits so naturally with Christmas decorations, Advent crafts and all kinds of winter celebrations.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Simply store the untreated cardboard in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. It will then keep its shape, and you can bring out your decorations year after year. Sealing it with paint or varnish makes the surface even more durable.
