A Green Christmas: Easy and Fun DIY Decorations

Let’s do our part for our beautiful planet this year by reducing plastic use and choosing more mindful ways to celebrate. After all, our children’s futures matter far more than any trending gadget or shiny plastic toy. They may not fully understand it yet, but one day they’ll appreciate having learned how to care for the world they’ll pass on to their own children.

Get Crafty This Festive Season with DIY Decorations

Make this a very merry and sustainable Christmas by trying a few handmade festive projects. In the days leading up to Christmas, we’ll share easy, fun ideas for you and your little ones to create together. It’s the perfect time to get tiny hands busy with colourful crafts and even a few edible treats!

Homemade Decorations: Bringing Nature Indoors

Ready to get crafting? A glue gun is your best friend for these projects! We gathered sticks and twigs from the garden and quickly turned them into simple star shapes using the glue gun. If you have a rosemary bush, snip a few fragrant stems, tie them with coloured hemp string, and hang them around the house for a natural, festive touch.

Delicious Edible Decorations

Dried fruit ornaments are beautiful, easy, and wonderfully scented. Simply slice oranges or apples into thin rounds and bake them on parchment at 150°C for about an hour. They make lovely, rustic decorations — and your kitchen will smell amazing.

The Beauty of Pine Cones

Pine cones are a winter treasure you can often forage from the forest floor. Add a dusting of white paint to the tips to mimic freshly fallen snow and use them as ornaments, table décor, or garlands.
