Christmas decorations using recycled materials by Higher Vocational Training in Business Administration and Finances, CIP Tafalla and IES Adeje

In CIP Tafalla, we are aware of the environmental issues that the Planet is getting through, and this is why we advocate for Christmas decorations using recycled materials. Below these lines you will see some proposals of the students. 

If you want to be the envy of all your friends, have a go at doing some handmade ornaments or Christmas trees! 🎄


Santa Claus with plastic cups


MATERIALS

Two polystyrene balls

Resistant glue

White plastic cups

Black and red cardboard

A black scarf


STEPS TO FOLLOW

1. Stick the plastic cups on the polystyrene balls, leaving a hole to join the two ends and shape the snowman.

2. With the black cardboard cut out circles of the same size to simulate the buttons on the body, as well as the eyes.

3. For the hat, use the black cardboard as well. Simply cut it out and paste it into the shape of a tube. Also cut out a circle for the base and paste it on the polystyrene ball at the top of the doll. If you want to skip this step, you can use a hat that is at home and that no one will wear.

3. Use the red cardboard to create the nose, in the shape of a cone, as well as a thin line for the mouth.

4. Finally, place the scarf, and... That's it!


Christmas tree with plastic bottles


MATERIALS

-  Green plastic bottles (where the soda comes from)

- Wire

- A round base (can be the lid of the paint pot)

- A broomstick


STEPS TO FOLLOW

1. First we make 8 holes around the felling and attach a point of the wire which before you should have cut to the size you need.

2. The broomstick you put the tip of a bottle on one side and glue a bottle cap in the middle of the paint bucket cap which helps you so that the broomstick stands in the middle of the cap.

3. On the stick at the top we are going to tie the other ends of the wires that we have previously left tied to the lid.

4. This should be in the shape of a pyramid.

5. Now we will put the bottles in each of the alabras, making a hole in the middle of the bottle and thus we will completely fill our tree, which if we want it to be much thicker, we will put more wire and many more bottles.



            Christmas balls with CDs (Irune Miqueleiz)


            MATERIALS:

            Transparent Christmas balls.

            CD’s

            Scissors

            Colourful fabric (the colour you want)


            STEPS TO FOLLOW:

            1. Cut the CD’s in small pieces with the shape you want. (circles, triangles…)

            2. Stick the pieces of CD's on the ball.

            3. Finally fill the ball with the fabric you have chosen.

            4. Hang the ball wherever you want 😉



            Christmas wreath with cardboard tubes


                          



     MATERIALS:

  • Cardboard toilet paper tubes

  • Painting

  • scissors

  • hot silicone


    STEPS TO FOLLOW:


        1. Paint the tubes, flatten each one and cut (must measure 2cm).

        2. When you have several sticks, and form a circle, gluing one piece to another and add another circle on the             outside.




Christmas tree decorations with wood and photos

Christmas tree decorations made with wood and photos

    

            MATERIALS:

  • Small piece of wood

  • A photocopy of the photo

  • Rope or Loop

  • Glue (photo transfer)

  • Some water

  • Varnish


         STEPS TO FOLLOW:

        1. Impregnate the trunk with glue and put the photograph with the image facing it.
        2. Once we have the photo placed against the wood, we wet our finger with a little water and go around in circles to transfer the photo to the wood and remove the cellulose.
        3. Finally, let it dry and apply varnish.



Students from IES Adeje created some Christmas decorations and the money collected will help some 

solidarity foundations.  It is time for sharing 💗
