by

I have yet to dive into the world of eco-friendly Christmas crafting but I must say, the Eco-Christmas Craft Book has me itching to start. With 30 stylish and festive projects, I can create beautiful decorations while doing my part to protect the planet. The best part? All the materials used in the book can be found easily and inexpensively, such as cardboard, newspaper, wine bottle corks, twigs, and pine cones.

The book includes everything you need to make your own unique, beautiful Christmas décor including tree decorations, advent items, Christmas cards, table decorations, wreaths, and more. The possibilities are endless and I love the idea of being able to choose my own color scheme each year and make new decorations using the same recyclable materials.

The author provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions and each project is accompanied by inspiring photos of the finished product. The book even provides ideas for other projects to create, making it a treasure trove of eco-friendly Christmas inspiration.

I haven’t made anything from the book yet, but I can’t wait to start. It’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit and do my part for the planet at the same time. So if you’re looking for a way to make beautiful, stylish decorations for the holidays while also being eco-friendly, this book is a must-have!
