2021 is coming to an end! We blinked, and the year has passed, but now we can use some of those items we saved for REUSE purposes! The Holiday season is the perfect excuse to craft using things you are RECYCLING! Here are two easy examples we hope you will try!

Homemade Christmas tree table decoration

Items Needed
⦁ cardboard
⦁ scissors
⦁ hot glue
⦁ tape
⦁ beads or bowtie pasta
⦁ paint

Steps:
⦁ Cut and tape cardboard to form a cone shape any size you want
⦁ Paint your cone a holiday color and let dry (if you use pasta, paint that too)
⦁ Cut out a star from your cardboard and paint
⦁ Take your beads or pasta and hot glue them on

Baby food jar candle

Items needed:
⦁ Clean, dry baby food jar (with stickers off)
⦁ battery candle
⦁ beads
⦁ ribbon or twine

Steps:
⦁ tie your ribbon or twine around the top of the jar
⦁ fill the jar with a few beads and add the candle (make sure it's on)
⦁ finish putting beads around candle sides

If you do either of these projects or any other projects using recycled material, we would love to see them! Please find us on Facebook @miamicountyRecylces and send us a picture!
