Wooden star in anthracite – birch plywood, painted both sides

The windows are clean and the Advent wreath is in place. But something is still missing. A wooden star in anthracite adds a dark grey, satin-painted surface to your winter decorations. The grain of the birch plywood stays visible through it. Hang it in the window, tie it to a present or use it as table scatter. This birch plywood star is made for your Advent season.

What changes for you

• You can put your decorations together without lots of trial and error. Dark anthracite goes with natural tones just as well as with white, grey and metal.
• You can start crafting, hanging or decorating straight away. The star is painted on both sides, so it looks good from either side. That is handy when it hangs freely in a window.
• You'll find exactly the size you need. The star comes in widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from a small gift tag to a large wall star.
• No extra work for your DIY project. The laser-cut edges are smooth and accurate. There's nothing to sand or straighten.
• You get a one-off piece instead of mass-produced decor. The birch grain stays visible under the clear lacquer. That makes every star unique.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

A star made of real wood brings a calm to a room that plastic decorations rarely manage. The muted dark grey doesn't dominate. It fits quietly into your home. Candlelight, fir branches and light natural tones look even warmer beside it. With just a few moves you get decorations that look well thought out, without much effort on your part.

Material & finish

Each star is laser-cut from 3 mm birch plywood. This gives clean, smooth edges and an accurate shape. We paint the raw boards anthracite on both sides ourselves, in our own production in Pößneck. The clear, satin, water-based lacquer lets the grain and small knots show through. These features are not flaws. They are the mark of a real natural material. Every star turns out slightly different, so each one is unique.

Good to know about the star

The star has been part of Advent and Christmas for centuries. It stands for the Star of Bethlehem, which is said to show the way. In anthracite, this traditional motif looks understated and clean-lined. So it also suits Scandinavian-style or minimalist winter decorations.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. An occasional dry dusting is enough. Avoid long-term moisture, as wood is a natural material. That way your stars keep their neat satin finish for many years and many Advent seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Is the star painted on both sides? Yes. Both sides are painted in anthracite and sealed with a clear, satin, water-based lacquer. Ideal for hanging decorations that can be seen from both sides.

Do all the stars look the same? Not quite. Birch is a natural material with varying grain and small knots that stay visible under the lacquer. This makes every star unique.

How tall is the star at a given width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is approx. 9.5 cm. Other sizes scale accordingly.

Can I order just one star? Yes, you can order any size singly. Or choose a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 if you need larger quantities for decorating or crafting.

This is more than a dark grey wooden cutout. It's about the moment in the evening when you look at the window. The stars hang quietly in the light, and your home looks like winter. Just choose your size and quantity. The season will do the rest.
