Making Celebrations Sustainable - Share & Shine

 It's coming to that time of year that lots of us are decorating our homes. We wondering how we can be more sustainable for Christmas.

Lots of decorations are made from plastic and lots of other non-biodegradable and unrecyclable materials, which means eventually they just junk up our world.  Year Wha have made salt ceramic playdough decorations.  At the end of their life they'll break down into soil! You can make them too by following these very easy steps:

1. Measure four cups of flour, one cup of salt and around 1 and a half cups of water into a bowl.





2. Stir and add more water if too dry

3. Knead on a floured surface until smooth

4. Roll out and cut out shapes. Push a skewer through to make a hole.

5. Bake on 120 degrees until dry (about one and a half hours)

6. When cool decorate with paint or felt tips

7. Thread with reused ribbon or biodegradable string
