## Make your own reusable decorations this year

### Making reusable decorations is a fun activity for all of the family

Many of the bows & ribbons that we put on our Christmas presents are not recyclable & don’t last. So why not have a go at making your own which can be used again & will make any present look extra special, we have some great workshops for your to follow along with.

Don't forget that the majority of Christmas decorations can't be recycled in your kerbside collection service so don't end up on Santa's naughty list for putting the wrong items in your recycling bin.

If you're not sure what can go on your bin then check out your District or Boroughs guidance and if in doubt, leave it out!
