\"recycled <\/p>\n

Did you know that you can use your trash to create festive Christmas decorations? Recycled plastic bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers all make for easy decorations. You can create everything from paper chains to reindeer crafts to snow globes. And the best part is that it’s free!

Paper chains<\/h2>\n

Paper chains are a great way to reuse old materials and create eco-friendly decorations for your Christmas tree. With only a few simple steps, you can create beautiful decorations using recycled paper. You can make paper chains from old books, atlases, maps, and even music sheets. Paper chains are great for decorating your tree because you can create them with any color combination.<\/p>\n

Icicle ornaments<\/h2>\n

Plastic containers are great recycled Christmas decorations because they can be made into icicles. These decorations are easy to make and are great for preschoolers and toddlers to make. To make these recycled Christmas decorations, you can use plastic containers from the recycling bin. Then, you can wrap a few strips of cotton around a small wire. Make sure to make the loop at the top centered and secure.<\/p>\n

Reindeer crafts<\/h2>\n

Reindeer crafts can be created from paper or cardboard. First, you can make a paper template, which you can trace onto cardboard. Then, cut around the outline. Be careful not to cut too early, as the slits will be filled with paint or other decorations!<\/p>\n

Snow globes<\/h2>\n

Snow globes can be made out of recycled bottles or jars. Choose a jar that has a wide opening to make them easier to fill with items. You can also use glycerin to create snow. This substance is available in most pharmacy supply stores. You can place figurines inside to add a festive touch.<\/p>\n

CD ornaments<\/h2>\n

CDs are a great way to create recycled Christmas decorations. You can cut them into different shapes using a pair of scissors. Once you have the shape you want, adhere a small piece of mosaic to the CD’s shiny side. Next, use a small dab of glue to attach the mosaic to the CD. Once dry, you can hang the finished ornament.<\/p>\n

Plastic soda bottle ornaments<\/h2>\n

There are two basic methods for making plastic soda bottle ornaments. First, use a temporary marker pen to trace a layout of the Christmas character onto the bottle. Rudolph will go on the bottom side, and Santa Claus will be on the top.<\/p>\n
