Recycled Holiday Garland!

Here, finally, is the finished recycled garland! Made completely from items found around the house - recycled newspaper, magazines, bags, and some tinfoil. What do you think?


You can see the base made of braided newspaper, made sparkly with tinfoil, and the origami flowers and cranes from junk mail as well as the grocery bag pom-poms and paper flowers! (Please ignore the ugly plain wall behind it.) Here's a close-up of some of the decorations:


Do you like it? It was fun to make, eco-friendly, and a nice (reusable!) holiday decoration that won't wilt or leave needles on the floor.
