Wooden star cutout – birch plywood lacquered in Toskana

Advent is just around the corner and the table is laid. But that one warm detail that pulls it all together is still missing. A wooden star in the sunny Toskana shade is made for exactly that. Use it as table scatter between the plates, in the window or on a present you're about to give. That's how the wooden cutout becomes a little star that people notice straight away on the table, in the window or on a gift.

What changes for you

• Your table feels more inviting without much decorating. Scattering a few stars is enough, because the strong Toskana shade instantly brings warmth to the gathering.
• You can start crafting straight away, with no sanding or painting. Each star is lacquered on both sides and ready for your DIY project.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. You can choose any width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your decoration looks good from both sides – in the window, on a gift ribbon or as a hanging ornament. That's because the front and back are lacquered in the same way.
• You're holding a piece with character. The clear, satin-matt coating keeps the grain and small knots visible. Every piece is one of a kind.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

Decorations made of real wood bring a calm to a room that paper or plastic can't quite match. The warm Toskana shade sits quietly within your arrangement on the dining table, in the window or on the shop counter. It doesn't overpower the rest of your decorations. And because every star has its own grain, your decorations look lively rather than mass-produced.

Material & finish

The star is laser-cut from 3 mm birch plywood. The result is a precise, cleanly finished cutout with smooth edges. It feels pleasant to the touch and is easy to work with. We lacquer the raw sheets on both sides in the Toskana shade ourselves, in our own production in Pößneck. The clear, satin-matt water-based lacquer lets the wood grain show through. Small knots and variations in shade are not a flaw. They are part of what makes a natural material – no two stars are the same.

How to use your wooden star

• In the window: Hang larger stars on a ribbon. Both sides are lacquered, so they send a warm greeting indoors and out.
• When wrapping presents: Tie a star under the bow. A plain parcel becomes a lovingly decorated one.
• In your DIY project: Use it as a base for door wreaths, garlands or name signs. The finished wooden cutout saves you sawing, sanding and painting.

Good to know about the star

The star is one of the oldest symbols of guidance and hope. In the Christmas story, it shows the way to Bethlehem. That's why it is still the classic motif for Advent and Christmas today. It also works as a good-luck charm on presents or as decoration for christenings and births.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. If needed, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid lasting moisture. That way the colour and surface stay looking cared for, year after year.

Frequently asked questions

Is the star lacquered on both sides? Yes, the front and back are colour-lacquered and sealed with a clear, satin-matt water-based lacquer. This is ideal for decorations that can be seen from both sides.

How does the height relate to the chosen width? The size refers to the width. At 10 cm wide, the star is approx. 9.5 cm high. Other sizes scale accordingly.

Do all the stars look the same? No. Birch plywood is a natural material. The grain, shade and small knots vary from piece to piece. That's exactly what makes every star one of a kind.

Can I order larger quantities? Yes. As well as single pieces, there are sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. They're handy for craft groups, shop windows or larger decorating projects.

Think of the moment your guests sit down at the laid table. The first thing they say is "How lovely!". Just choose your size and quantity – the stars will do the rest.
