Wooden star cutout – red lacquered Christmas decoration

Advent is just around the corner. You want to decorate your windows, branches and festive table without much effort. A red wooden star in birch plywood is just right for that. It is flat, cleanly cut and made for your Christmas window. Use one on its own or lots of them as table scatter. With this wooden cutout, a few simple steps give you decorations that feel like home.

What changes for you

• You can decorate your window, door or table for the festive season in minutes. The star is lacquered red on both sides, so it looks good from every angle.
• You get exactly the size that suits your project – with widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your craft projects turn out neat with no extra finishing. The laser cut gives smooth edges and accurate shapes.
• You can relax and craft with children. The star can be painted, decorated with stickers, written on or hung up.
• For bigger projects, you don't need to order stars one by one. The star also comes in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

Red wooden stars look different from plastic decorations. They are calmer and more matt, and you can see the grain. The satin-matt lacquer keeps the grain visible. Each star shows a little of the natural material. In the window, on the door or on the Christmas table, the star fits in without lots of arranging.

Material & finish

The star is laser-cut from 3 mm birch plywood. This gives smooth, accurate edges and a clean finish you can feel when you touch it. At Bütic, we lacquer the raw boards red on both sides ourselves. The clear, satin-matt, water-based lacquer lets the wood grain and small knots show through. Wood is a natural material. Shade and texture vary, and small irregularities in the grain are normal. This makes every piece one of a kind and is not a defect. The star is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your wooden star

• In the window: hang a few stars in different sizes on ribbons. The red will shine out at you even from outside.
• On the Christmas table: scatter small stars between plates and candles. Your guests will have something to discover before the first course.
• Crafting with children: paint the stars, add stickers or write on them. Each child makes their own piece for the Advent wreath or as a gift tag.
• As a place card or gift tag: write a name on the star. A small item becomes a personal gesture.
• In a café, bakery or at a market stall: with a set of 25, 50 or 100 stars, you can decorate your counter, shop window and display in a matching style. They are quick to set up and you can use them again and again during the season.

Good to know about the star

The star is one of the oldest symbols of Christmas. As the Star of Bethlehem, it shows the way to the manger in the Christmas story. That is why the motif works not only on the tree and in the window. It also suits Advent bazaars, nativity plays and Christmas shop decorations.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth, and that's it. Avoid constant moisture, as wood is a natural material. That way, the lacquered star keeps its satin-matt surface and bright red colour for a long time.
