If you love Christmas, you'll love this book! It's the perfect antidote to the traditional tinsel and glitter that shed harmful microplastics, polluting our oceans and waterways.
The Eco-Christmas Craft Book is filled with lots of ideas to create your own stylishly beautiful, eco-friendly Christmas.
All you need to do is save up some recyclable or foraged items such as cardboard, newspaper, wine bottle corks, twigs and pine cones. You can choose your own colour scheme to match your home and, because the materials are recyclable, you could make new ones every year!
Including all the things that make Christmas special, such as tree decorations, advent items, Christmas cards, table decorations, wreaths and many more, there are 30 fabulous projects to make, and ideas for many more. So start collecting and learn how to make gorgeous, professional-looking decorations cheaply, without harming the planet.
Marrianne Miall is a graphic designer for a book publisher and is a general all-round crafty creative.

She particularly enjoys upcycling items around the home – her most recent projects have included painting bedroom furniture, re-covering a lampshade and creating a dartboard cabinet. Marrianne is a published author of two books by Search Press: Twenty to Make: Button Jewellery and My Handmade Wedding. She lives in Kent with her husband and two cats.
