Crafting with kids – wine-red plywood hearts

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and the card is written. But your gift still needs one final detail. With these wine-red wooden hearts, you can finish your decorations quickly. Use them as table scatter on the laid table, on a handmade card or as a tag on a gift. You can choose sizes from 5 to 40 cm in 1 cm steps. That way they fit your craft idea, from a small card motif to a large window heart.

What changes for you

• You'll find the right size for every idea – because you can order each wooden heart individually from 5 to 40 cm tall, in 1 cm steps.
• Your decorations look well thought out straight away. That's thanks to the deep wine-red colour. Depending on the light, the natural wood grain still shimmers through.
• You can craft with children. The glaze meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• No need to sand them down – the hearts are laser-cut and arrive with smooth edges and an accurate shape.
• You're free to get creative on the back – it's left natural and untreated, ideal for painting, writing on or decorating with stickers.

Why these wooden hearts make a difference in everyday life

A heart made of real wood feels different from paper or foil decorations – it has weight, texture and warmth. On the table, on the wall or on a wreath, the rich wine red brings calm and depth to your decor without being overpowering. In just a few steps, you create an overall look that feels like home – not like a craft box.

Material & finish

Each heart is made from 3 mm plywood and laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. That's where the typical brown edge comes from. It gives the heart a finely framed look. The wine-red glaze on the front is of good quality. Depending on the light, the grain and small knots show through. This is not a flaw but the mark of a genuine natural material: every piece is unique. The back is deliberately left natural so you can design it however you like.

Good to know about the heart

Since the Middle Ages, the heart has probably been the best-known symbol of love and affection. You'll find it on old playing cards as well as in folk art. That's exactly why it suits so many occasions. It works for Valentine's Day as well as weddings, Mother's Day or simply as a small gesture in between.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: store the hearts in a dry place and avoid prolonged moisture – that way the plywood keeps its shape and the wine-red surface stays looking good for a long time. Simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Are the hearts wine-red on both sides? No, only the front is glazed. The back is natural and untreated, ideal for your own designs.

Where does the brown edge come from? The hearts are laser-cut – the brown edge is typical of this process and also ensures smooth, accurate edges.

In the end, it's not about a piece of plywood in the shape of a heart. It's about the moment someone unwraps your gift or sees your laid table – and instantly feels that you've put thought into it. Just choose your size and get started.
