If you wrap a gift it must look nice. How about such an Origami bow as decoration? They can surely easily be made from coloured adverts, too ;-)

Knitted Christmas Tree
This Christmas tree really impressed me: a lot of people knitted in total more than 2000 simple green leaves which form the tree.
After Christmas the tree will be dismantled and the leaves will be sewn together to make blankets for elderly people.
That’s what I call recycling ;-)

Spiral Binding Wreath
I can’t throw away anything – but as I see it, I don’t have to, because you can make something from everything, like little ornaments from the Spiral binding of a used notebook ;-))

Aluminum Gift Box
I like this little gift box very much!
It’s also much more sturdy and durable than a ‘normal’ gift wrap :)

Book Christmas Tree
I always have difficulties to destroy books, even if the result will be much more beautiful.
For this book Christmas tree it’s not necessary to destroy books and I find it also funny ;-)
