We are not bound by tradition, but it is always nice to break with the status quo for a change. This year I think my family will decorate our Christmas tree differently than usual!
How about we present you an idea that is super cool and easy to make, and will make your Christmas decorations unique and eye-catchy?
You can make your own ornaments out of fruit! You might even get a thank you from the trees themselves.
This fun idea is to decorate an outdoor tree with edible, biodegradable items—or anything else for that matter–and then plant it so its roots create soil in order to help improve our environment by taking up space where grass would otherwise grow.
Wow, amazing, right?
You will help animals find habitat and food, which are scarce during the winter. You’ll also get to fight against deforestation!
The eco-friendly theme will attract many birds and animals to share the holidays with your family. Your kids are going be delighted!
Here are some unique ideas to help you get inspired to do it:
Use orange peels as ornaments
Prepare peanut-butter pine cones
Seed “cookies” for birds
Dehydrated fruit slices as decorations
Attractive popcorn and cranberry garland
We advise you to use biodegradable twine when hanging the ornaments, as it will reduce wildlife contamination from plastic fishing line.
When decorating your tree, it would be beneficial to wrap an extra bow around each ornament because the birds are sure to find them and make a mess with all their excrement.
If you have an urban environment or no trees, try using a branch with lots of smaller branches. Spend some time animal watching for the kids to get excited about decorating later!
Such a beautiful idea, isn’t it?
