Recycled Wreath

If you are like me and are getting a little tired (read: jealous) of our English and American friends boasting of their upcoming white Christmases, then it’s time to show them what we Aussies can do… Yep, there’s no heat or rain or humidity too great to stop us making all the Christmas wreaths out of newspaper we want! We found this delightful tutorial over at eco empire, a great sustainability blog from Perth, and are loving the festive reuse of something that would otherwise most likely be lining our recycling bins. Get the full instructions here, and personalise or embellish to your heart’s desire. (Oh and just because it says you can use old magazines for this project, please in no way consider this permission to start cutting up your old Peppermints!!)
