Pallet Christmas Tree

No one said anything about taking the wood out of the tree. Instead of going to cut down a tree or getting one from a tree lot, why not make this unique upcycled Christmas tree from reused pallets. String some lots through it and you’ve got a conversation piece (maybe for the front yard if it doesn’t fit in the living room).

Rusty spoon Christmas tree

Here’s another upcycled Christmas tree that speaks to our junk loving hearts—a tabletop Christmas tree made from vintage spoons. It doesn’t take up much room, has a little bit of shine, a lot of memories, and keeps items out of the landfill. Now that makes for a Merry Christmas all around!

These are all great ideas of ways to reduce your waste at Christmas, yet keep the festive spirit alive in an eco-friendly, green way. All that Load of Rubbish has to decide now is what junk to string our lights around. There’s plenty to choose from in the back warehouse. Keep it coming!

Only 30 days until Christmas.
