Christmas is associated with the most beautiful holidays and perhaps shortly beforehand with the festive decoration of the house. So any tips and craft ideas for Christmas are always in demand and welcome. Try something different this year and decorate your home with sustainable materials. Recycle cardboard, PET bottles, newspaper or wine corks yourself - use them to make beautiful, unique Christmas decorations without polluting the environment by buying cheap plastic things.
With really little effort you can create beautiful things yourself. All you need is a little inspiration. Make Christmas decorations out of corrugated cardboard and decorate with glitter or paint in gold and silver. These little ornaments certainly won't break if they fall down from the Christmas tree. If you have larger pieces of cardboard, you can even cut out an entire Christmas tree and place it around the room. Be creative and think green!
Have you considered not throwing away the rolls of toilet paper with the waste paper? Keep around 25 and use them to make a beautiful Advent calendar for someone special. Arrange the rolls next to each other like honeycombs and close one side of the cylinder. Put little surprises in them - this is where you can really use your imagination and add fun little objects or banknotes. Decorate the rolls withmatching decorative paperand use a hot glue gun to secure the rolls together. Tie decoratively with a beautiful ribbon and hang on the wall.
Surprise your loved one with creative ideas, small gifts and decorations that you make yourself and prepare especially for them. If you want moreUse recycled materials, instead of getting new ones from the store, not only save money but also think about nature. Great upcycling examples show beautiful creations that were created from everyday items.
How long will the Advent calendar be used? – 25 days. Would a child or even an adult be more happy about an Advent calendar they bought if it was already clear what was behind the windows? Or would you wonder what could actually be in the ones you made yourself? Bring variety during the holidays with original handmade jewelry, decorations and gifts and surprise your loved one!
