A big part of the enjoyment of Christmas is having fun with family and friends. Why not add a dash of creativity and reuse to the festive mix by decorating your home, office or classroom with decorations made by you and from materials you can easily find at home or at Reverse Garbage?
Our RG creative staff have put together some of their favourite Christmas decorations you can easily make and with pride! Not only do they look fantastic, they become a focal point at Christmas dinner when people realise they’ve been made by hand and innovatively from every day items.
PLUS – they are extra easy to make because we’ve pre-packaged the materials for you! The Pre-Packaged Christmas Packages will be available at our reuse centre in Marrickville Friday 5 December 2014. Too easy!
Merry Ch-reuse-mas! 🙂
