Dried citrus

There is something so pretty about using natural elements in holiday decor. The color varies from deep yellow to almost umber when you use different types of citrus. To add a special touch to it, add some cinnamon sticks, rosemary, bay leaves or star anise.

Treasures found from the great outdoors

Sometimes, all it takes is a walk outside to find beautiful Christmas decorations. Nature is generous even during the winter months, which gives us endless opportunities to create 100% eco Christmas decorations. The best part is that once the holidays are over, you can simply take them back where they belong.

Paper ornaments taken to the next level

Paper is a multifunctional and beautiful material that can be used for making the most stunning decorations. Our favorite is a good quality wrapping paper but also wallpaper scraps, kraft paper, and old newspapers can look just adorable when used right
