11 creative ideas to recycle popsicle sticks into adorable Christmas decorations
Of all the times of the year, the one which perhaps encourages the most creative projects is Christmas: on the occasion of this holiday, many start to think about the ornaments and decorations which will be used to decorate the home. Among the decorations that are considered the most important, are the decorations for the Christmas tree.
These can be made using a myriad of objects, especially if you have good idea and can creatively recycle things that just laying around at home (or are easy to get). For example, you can recycle wooden popsicle sticks which are easy to glue and paint. Check out the ideas below:
Super-stylized Christmas trees: after all, a triangle is enough to evoke this iconic symbol, and then you can go wild with paint and decorations.

An adorable sleigh that just needs a few sticks, glue and paint. This is a very nice project to do with the kids.
Using simple shapes, you could make reindeer-shaped decorations from a triangle of popsicle sticks.
A mini panel popsicle sticks laid side by side. Then, with a little imagination and suitable paint, you have Christmas cookies which can be hung up and won't get eaten.
