Bored? Snowed In? Try Some Last Minute Eco-Christmas Crafts!
December 22, 2008 by Jennifer
We’ve been snowed in officially for about a week now, and it’s getting pretty restless around here. You can’t even go for a walk because we have layers of frozen rain and snow, so walking around is iffy. Sigh. If you’re in this fix, or if maybe the kids are home on Christmas break, here are some cool eco-minded last minute Christmas crafts to try…
Above is the really neat paper star wreath. You can use recycled paper and gift wrap to make it. There’s also a really nice paper star napkin holder to make.
Grab a recycled glass jar and make a snow globe.
Recycle an old magazine or paperback book to make your own Santa.
Make this cute recycled reindeer above with an old plastic bottle and other bits and pieces.
If you have an old paper holiday napkins and tin cans laying around you can make some cool decoupaged holiday cans.
Bought too much packing popcorn this year? Use it to make a recycled popcorn wreath.
Above is a slightly bizarre, but good way to recycle light bulbs into holiday decor. Many types and examples available, and plenty of tips about how to work with delicate bulbs.
Have fun – hope your weather is better than mine is.
