[Updated 11/7/22] Making recycled Christmas decorations at home is a fantastic opportunity to slow down and savor the holiday season.
It gives us a chance to spend some quality time with our family and friends, not to mention avoiding the ever-increasing consumerist trappings of the holiday season.
Using waste materials for our homemade holiday crafts is even better.
It means that we aren’t producing more garbage in the course of our celebration, nor are we spending money to buy Christmas decorations we could easily make ourselves. But still, we’re fully embracing the festive spirit of the season.
When we give our DIY Christmas crafts as gifts, it means that much more, because– to paraphrase Dr. Seuss– it comes from our hearts and minds rather than some big box store.
From an environmental perspective, the following homemade Christmas décor ideas help us demonstrate our respect for the planet.
Rather than treating its resources as if they’re disposable, we’re upcycling them to create something perfectly in the spirit of the season.
And if we’re being honest, isn’t it just as important that the process of making these upcycled Christmas decorations is just plain fun, and fills our holidays with joy?
