Eight-point star – black wooden star, 3–50 cm

The Advent box is unpacked and the table is waiting. But you're still missing the detail that ties it all together. An 8-point wooden star, black on the front, lies flat on a windowsill, a present or a tablecloth. It fits in with your winter decorations. Single or in a craft set: you decide how many stars your home needs.

What changes for you

• The eight-point star in black is visually understated. Its clear shape and dark colour keep it easy to make out in any group.
• You'll find exactly the right size for your window, wreath or table. Choose from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You can start painting, gluing and decorating straight away. The natural, untreated back takes paint and glue well.
• Your craft project works out without any reworking. Every star is laser-cut, with smooth edges and an accurate shape.
• You can decorate larger spaces or whole events without reordering. Sets come with 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.

Why this 8-point star makes a difference in everyday life

Black wooden decorations combine two things that rarely go together. You get a clean, modern look. And you still see the grain of a natural material under the black surface. Depending on the light, the grain shows through the black finish. Your window, wreath or gift table gains depth instead of looking uniform. And because the star is so simple, it suits a pared-back Scandinavian home just as well as traditional Christmas decorations.

Material & finish

Every star is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That's where the smooth edges, the accurate shape and the typical brown edge come from. The black stain on the front is applied with care. Depending on the light, grain and small knots show through. This isn't a flaw. It's the sign of a real natural material, and it makes every star one of a kind. The back is left natural and untreated, ideal for painting or gluing. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden star

• During Advent: hang a few stars in different sizes in the window. The room looks festive without feeling cluttered.
• When wrapping presents: tie a small star to the ribbon instead of the usual bow. Your present looks lovingly wrapped before it's even opened.
• At the craft table with children: the natural back gets painted in bright colours. In the end, your tree is hung with real family decorations instead of off-the-shelf ones.
• As table decoration for a celebration: place a star at every seat or use them as table scatter. Your guests have something to discover as soon as they sit down.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: with a set of 25 or 50 stars, you can decorate your counter and shop window in one go. Everything matches and it's quick to set up.

Good to know about the 8-point star

The eight-point star has a long tradition as a symbol of guidance and hope. Many depictions also show the Star of Bethlehem with eight points. So this shape doesn't just suit Advent and Christmas decorations. It also works for occasions that celebrate a new beginning – from christenings to housewarmings.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. An occasional dry dusting is enough to keep the star looking good for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. Wood is a natural material. Stored dry, it keeps its shape and looks good for many years.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the star or glue things onto it? Yes. The back is natural and untreated. It works well for painting, writing on and gluing. The front already has a black stain.

Are both sides black? No. Only the front has a black stain. The back keeps its natural wood look.

Why does the star have a brown edge? The star is laser-cut. The brownish edge forms during cutting and is part of its typical look. In return, the edges are smooth and the shape is accurate.

Does every star look exactly the same? The shape is accurate, but the wood underneath is a natural material. Grain, shade and small knots can vary. Depending on the light, they show through the stain. That makes every piece one of a kind.

How does the width relate to the height? Width and height are the same. For example, if you choose 10 cm from point to point, the star is also 10 cm high.

What counts is the moment you switch on the light in the evening. Your window, table or counter looks exactly the way you pictured it. Just choose your size and quantity. The star does the rest.
