Why this wooden Christmas angel makes a difference every day

A white Christmas angel brings calm to often colourful Advent decorations. It suits almost any interior style, from country house to simple modern homes. You choose the size and quantity yourself. So you can display one large angel on its own. Or you can use lots of small ones as a repeating motif in the window, on presents or on the festive table. Your decorations look well thought out without lengthy planning.

Material & finish

The angel is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives smooth, accurate edges, so splinters won't get in your way when crafting. The white glaze on the front is applied with care. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots show through. This makes every piece one of a kind. It is not a flaw. It is simply the nature of a natural material. The back is left natural and untreated, so paint and glue stick well. Every cutout is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• On the festive table: an angel at every place, perhaps with the guest's name written on it. The place card becomes a keepsake to take home.
• In a café or bakery: several angels in different sizes in the display or on the counter. Your counter is decorated for Christmas in a few minutes, with no major rearranging.
• At the Christmas market or in a shop: with a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100, you can decorate your stall and shelves in a matching style. Or you can hand the angels out to customers as a small gift.

Good to know about the Christmas angel

The angel has always been part of the Christmas story. As a messenger, it announces the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. That is why it is still one of the best-known motifs of Advent and Christmas. You can hang the Christmas angel on the tree or in the window. You can place it on presents and place cards. Or you can use it to decorate church and community celebrations.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. A dry dusting now and then is enough. Plywood is a natural material and the back is untreated. So it is best to store the angel somewhere dry and keep it away from constant moisture. That way, the white surface will look good for many Christmases.
