00:00Christmas decorations are often made in non-recycled and non-recyclable materials.

00:12It's mostly plastic, it's made at the other end of the world.

00:15So we're going to show you three techniques to make decorations easily.

00:24To decorate these windows, in general, we use artificial snow plumes

00:27or objects to stick on the windows that are sometimes difficult to remove,

00:30while we can do very well otherwise.

00:32The white snow plume is actually calcium carbonate, that is to say chalk.

00:58And we find it very easily in organic stores.

01:00And in addition, it is useful for a lot of home maintenance products.

01:03So it won't be wasted.

01:04Since it's a volatile powder, just be careful not to breathe the powder

01:08or even wear a mask if possible.

01:10So to use it, it's very simple.

01:12Just take a brush and decorate your window.

01:21So if you want to do more elaborate decorations,

01:23there is a very simple trick.

01:24It's to take drawings printed on a sheet of paper,

01:26or drawings that you have,

01:27and to tape it upside down on your window,

01:30to then cover it with the white snow plume.

01:42And to clean it, it's very simple.

01:44You just need a sponge with water and a rag.

01:46And you're good to go.

01:54On the side of the pine garlands,

01:56they are mostly non-recycled and non-recyclable plastic.

01:59So here is an example of a garland from completely natural products.

02:16We can easily find pineapples in the forest,

02:39but we can also use other dried fruits,

02:41such as oranges,

02:42which just need to be dried in the oven

02:44and then hang them on the garland.

02:50On the Christmas tree,

02:51there are, for example, Christmas balls,

02:52which are often made of metal or plastic,

02:53which we will never recycle,

02:54and which are sometimes bought again very often,

02:57while it is quite easy to make home decorations

02:59to put on the Christmas tree.

03:15And here is another example of a garland

03:17from completely natural products.

03:19We can easily find pineapples in the forest,

03:21but we can also use other dried fruits,

03:23such as oranges,

03:24which are often made of metal or plastic,

03:26while it is quite easy to make home decorations

03:28to put on the Christmas tree.

03:44On the ingredients side,

04:07we can find them all in organic stores or in bulk,

04:09whether it is baking soda or starch,

04:11and these ingredients are very useful at home,

04:13which will not be wasted.

04:14The advantage of these small decorative objects

04:16is that they are much less polluting.

04:18We can personalize them,

04:19use different types of patterns,

04:20paint them with children,

04:21and even change the hangings of the ribbon,

04:23the string,

04:24to decorate the tree differently.
