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.
