As a central symbol of the Christmas season, the Star of Bethlehem is omnipresent in our customs. It adorns the windows of living rooms and stores, the tablecloth of the festive table and the Christmas tree - and, last but not least, the small gift that we present with joy during Advent or on Christmas Eve.

Perfect objects for such decorative purposes are these small wooden stars, which are made in Finland, the land of 1,000 lakes and vast forests, from birch plywood of regional origin. To be more precise: they are prefabricated, because you can do the finishing touches yourself - in an entertaining craft session, perfect for a winter evening by the light of the Advent candles. Bring your children along to the crafting session, because assembling the stars is child's play: the individual elements of a star are simply pressed out of the pre-cut template and stuck together. Each element is cut very precisely and each groove is milled so neatly that assembly is easy - and the fitted parts sit firmly in place. As delicate as the stars look, they are also very stable, and you don't even need glue to assemble them.

Secured in their template, the stars fit into flat, plastic-free packaging. This saves on packaging material, which, in addition to the natural material wood, is another plus point that makes these stars stand out in terms of resource conservation. They stand out in your Christmas decorations thanks to their discreet design, which, despite its purism, creates a fascinating interplay of depth, light and shadow and blends into any of your festive arrangements with decorative ease. And when the Christmas season is over (and you haven't given these little stars as gifts), you can just as easily take the stars apart again and store them away to save space - until the next Advent full of little stars.
