Wooden star cutout – violet lacquered, birch plywood

The Advent wreath is up and the candles are ready. But your windowsill and gift wrapping still need a bold splash of colour. That's exactly what this violet wooden star is for. It's a cutout made of birch plywood, lacquered violet on both sides. It adds a bold splash of colour to your decorations in seconds. Hang one on its own in the window or use a set for crafting with the whole family. Several stars together look great as a group.

What changes for you

• Your decorations look finished from both sides. The star is lacquered violet on both sides. So it shows no unsightly back, even in the window or as a hanging ornament.
• You can start crafting straight away. There's no sanding or finishing needed. Laser cutting gives smooth edges and an accurate shape.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. Choose anything from a small 3 cm star for gift tags to a 50 cm star, in 1 cm steps.
• Your decorations look natural, not mass-produced. The satin-matt water-based lacquer lets the wood grain show through. So every star is unique.
• You save time and money on larger projects. You can order the stars individually or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

Violet is a colour you don't find on every decoration. That's exactly why it stands out without being loud. The visible wood grain breaks up the bold violet lacquer. This makes the surface look more lively than a plain, smooth colour. Your window, gift table or shop display gets a look of its own. It stands apart from mass-produced plastic decorations.

Material & finish

Every star is laser-cut from 3 mm birch plywood. This makes it light, stable and pleasant to hold. We lacquer the boards in colour on both sides ourselves, in our own production in Pößneck. On top comes a clear, satin-matt water-based lacquer. It leaves the grain and small knots visible. Wood is a purely natural material. Variations in shade and fine textures are not flaws. They make every star unique.

How to use your wooden star

• In the window at Advent: hang several stars in different sizes. They look the same from inside and outside, because both sides are lacquered.
• Crafting with children: stick the stars onto cards, wreaths or garlands. The smooth laser-cut edges mean no risk of splinters while handling them.
• On the dinner table: place a star at each setting as a place card or small gift. Your guests have something to discover before the first course.

Good to know about the star

The star is one of the oldest symbols of all. It stands for guidance and hope. Since the Star of Bethlehem at the latest, it has been firmly linked with Christmas. So it's not just for Advent. It also suits christenings, births and any occasion when you wish someone a good path ahead.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply wipe the stars with a dry cloth when needed. Wood is a natural material, so avoid constant moisture. That way the colour and surface keep their satin-matt finish for a long time. You'll enjoy your decorations for many years.
