If you’re in need of Christmas ornaments, there are several green ways to create them. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money. Kids will enjoy making the very fun Christmas ornaments below – with adult help. My favorite is the TP Christmas Choir, so please do click over to see it.
Reuse old puzzles
Puzzles can be boring after you’ve put them together. If you have some old puzzles in the closet, get them out for Puzzle Piece Ornaments! Sherri on About.com shares how to make the ornaments, which include a snowman, wreath, snowflake and more.
Pick up pine cones
Nature provides the best decor. Try dipping some pine cones in wax for a variety of colors. The Magic Onions blog recommends using melted crayons, but soy wax may be substituted too. Visit the Wax Pine Cone tutorial at The Magic Onions.
Reuse TP rolls and socks
And, finally, save those toilet paper tubes and kids’ socks for building an adorable TP Christmas Choir! Get all the instructions at FamilyFun.
