I bet if you are reading this blog you collect something…and if I had to guess you probably collect several things. And you know what? Collections of things are great for decorating for the holidays. In this photo for instance a collection of embroidery hoops make a great base to display fun words and embellishments all from a branch. Pop on over to the blog You’ve Got Mal to see more Christmas collection decorating.

Making Christmas decorations from recycled items is an excellent way to cut down on waste, reduce your carbon footprint, and have some fun at the same time. There are so many possibilities when it comes to recycled crafts and Christmas decorations. For example, you can make gift tags and cards from old magazines, create a festive wreath from plastic bottles, or decorate your tree with ornaments made from recycled materials.

You can even use fabric scraps to make holiday stockings or ornaments that look like snowflakes. The possibilities are nearly endless and limited only by your imagination. Making decorations from recycled items also makes a great family activity. Not only will you be helping the environment, but you’ll also be creating memories that will last a lifetime. So next time you’re looking for a fun and eco-friendly way to get into the holiday spirit, why not try making some Christmas decorations from recycled items?
