As someone who champions eco-conscious living, I'm excited to share some festive crafting tips with you! Let's deck the halls with sustainable cheer this Christmas.

Material Magic:
Gather up leaves, empty candle shells, and that soft plastic we often overlook (the kind that sadly ends up in landfills). It's time to turn these into eco-friendly treasures!

Take a peek at the four images below to spark your creativity. These simple materials can weave magic into unique Christmas creations that are not just beautiful but also gentle on the environment.

Christmas Tree Templates:

Utilize the templates provided below by printing them out, then add your creative touch by coloring and decorating them with your newly crafted recycled material ornaments. Let your imagination bring these templates to life!

Crafting with Leaves:

Step 1: Gather fallen leaves from your garden, picking different shapes and sizes.

Step 2: Embrace all the unique leaves you've collected, arranging them in the shape of a Christmas tree. Cut them as needed.

Step 3: Stand back and admire your creation—voila! Your very own eco-friendly Christmas tree is ready to spread natural holiday cheer!

Transforming Candle Shells:

Step 1: After enjoying your candles, keep the empty shells—don't throw them away!

Step 2: Get creative by turning those empty candle shells into Christmas tree ornaments by flattening them with a hammer with the help of an adult.

Step 3: Add a touch of fabulousness by painting them. Choose colors that make your ornaments stand out and paste them on your tree.

Repurposing Soft Plastic:

Soft plastics, like candy wrappers or packaging, can't be recycled and usually end up in the regular bin.

Step 1: Instead of tossing them away, consider giving them a second life as Christmas tree ornaments.

Step 2: Collect these soft plastics and use them to create shiny ornaments for your tree. Store the extra cuttings in a box and save them for your next craft project.

Step 3: Not only are you reducing waste, but you're also adding a touch of sparkle to your Christmas decorations. A win-win!
