Wondering how I made it? I'll tell you how. When my mom was wrapping presents I would ask her for the scraps, and when she was going to through away a christmas magazine I asked her if I could have it. I also asked my dad if he could give me his newspaper when he was done reading it. I also just bought a new lotion that came in a sturdy cardboard container. I used all the materials to make a christmas frame. I started by cutting the cardboard until it resembled a frame shape. I them cut out scraps from the wrapping paper, the magazine, and the newspaper. Lastly, I started pasting the scraps to the cardboard until I liked the way it looked. I encourage you to make your own frame out of recycled materials. Be creative and make it your own. This makes a perfect gift. Save money and the environment!🌱💚♻️

I cut up the plastic water bottle into horizontal strips. Then, using a candle, I slowly twisted and heated each 'icicle'. This part was pretty difficult. After making 7 good-looking icicles, I connected them and added a blue tint to the snowflake. This snowflake will go on our tree!]]> 2020-12-18 22:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1032766008 https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1032767412 I made this Christmas tree from 7 water bottles. I glued the water bottle tops that I had cut to make the tree shape. Then I painted the bottles to make it look like an actual tree with a star and ornaments. We are going to use it as a decoration this year in my house. ]]> 2020-12-18 22:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1032767412 https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1032814759 Itzel Landeros
Since we are in quarantine, we decided to be creative this Christmas by making our own DIY ornaments, presents, and Christmas tree. My dad made the Christmas tree out of recycled wood pieces two years ago, and it has been part of our celebration since then. The DIY Christmas Ornaments were an idea from my sister and my mom, and are made out of toilet paper and things we have at home. Similarly, we are going to have a secret Santa on Christmas and the presents can only be made with materials we have at home. We can't buy anything. My brother has also been creative by making his own Christmas tree with Legos.]]> 2020-12-18 22:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1032814759 https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1035211717 This is our Christmas tree which is reusable and was gifted to us hee hee. Some of the ornaments my mom bought from her friend who makes custom ornaments. And we had a star on it but it fell oop. ]]> 2020-12-21 04:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1035211717 https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1037363529 Instead of buying plastic gift bows. I learned how to make them out of recycled newspaper. All I needed was newspaper and staples. I liked how each bow looked slightly different depending on how big I made them and what newspaper section I used. ]]> 2020-12-22 04:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/21gmendoza12/euha2lyrc3hh63ux/wish/1037363529
