Making Recycled Ornaments

WORDS: CAITLIN CHEUNG, AGE 11

hristmas is an important celebration and recycling is an important thing to do. So what better way to mix them together than making your own ornaments with recycled things?

On 27 November, the Club organised an ornament making activity, BUT nearly all the materials were recycled! There was a lot of creativity and effort put into this activity and there were many different-looking ornaments that were made with care. There was a Christmas tree made of painted toilet paper rolls, animals made with pinecones and googly eyes, and more! My favourite one (that I saw) was a toilet paper with eyes, mouth, nose and body drawn by markers to make a snowman. The snowman was inside the bottom of a plastic bottle with the sides full of glitter.

The activity was very fun, I loved it and can’t wait for next Christmas when we can be more creative with the new fun activities that we could try out! I hope that we will all recycle things more in the future, and make wonderful, recycled things like the Christmas ornaments!
