I love heading to Lowe’s or Home Depot and hitting their bin of extra tree clippings! Most have them right outside their tree areas and you are welcome to “dive” in and take what you would like!
We use their extra tree clippings to decorate with around the house and make everything smell like Christmas. Have any of you tried using those clippings to make your own garland, wreath or centerpiece rather than buying it? It’s super easy and the best part… It’s FREE!
What you’ll need:
-Green Floral Wire
-Stem Cutting Scissors (or pruning shears)
-Wire Cutters
-Lots of (FREE) Tree Clippings
-Floral Foam block if you are making a centerpiece
–Wreath Wire Frame if you are making a wreath
-Let the kids gather pine cones from the yard and attach those too.
Christmas Garland
The project should take you about an hour total for the length of a fireplace and the whole process is pretty self explanatory.
- Clip off the long stems from the tree clipping.
- Wire the top of one end to the bottom of the other. Try twisting the wire like you would a bag of bread for extra hold.
- Overlap with the next piece to cover up the bottom of the first piece too.
Tip: To make the garland look more full, double it up! Once you’ve made the length of the garland that you want, begin attaching stems to the back of the garland for a richer look.
Christmas Wreath
Grab a wire wreath frame from Michaels and the other items needed above. This will take a lot less greenery than the garland did, so depending on what you grabbed you can make both!
- Clip the greenery into similar sizes. I also love to grab different types of greenery to put together.
- Take three pieces and bunch together with stems together at the bottom.
- Wrap the stems to the wreath form with floral wire.
- Overlap the ends of the first bunch with the next bunch of greenery, and keep working around. Don’t worry in the beginning it won’t look very wreath like, but at the halfway mark you’ll see it come together!

This Organic Hot Chocolate recipe is an awesome gift for any organic folks who love a sweet treat! This is the basic recipe, but make a larger batch, split it up into mason jars and tie a bow around it.
Organic Hot Chocolate Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup organic raw cacao (or cocoa) powder
3/4 cup organic sugar
1/2 tsp salt
“Guts” from the inside of one vanilla bean pod
In a blender or food processor, mix the organic raw cocoa powder with the organic sugar or coconut sugar.
Add in the salt and the “guts” from one vanilla bean pod. Blend until the sugar and salt have been powdered. Store in an air-tight jar and use as needed.
No vanilla beans on hand? No problem. Add a bit of vanilla extract to your cocoa when cooking (about 1/8 teaspoon per cup).
To Prepare a Cup of Hot Cocoa:
All you have to do is mix 1-2 spoonfuls of cocoa mix into 1 cup of hot milk or non-dairy alternative.
Optional Add Ins:
- Melt some grated chocolate in with your cocoa! I’ve also tried adding the grated chocolate in the blender stage, and it works ok, but the clean-up isn’t as easy.
- Add a small pinch of various spices to your blend. I’ve tried: cinnamon, nutmeg, orange peel, crystallized ginger, and cayenne pepper… though I wouldn’t recommend all at the same time.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons espresso powder in your mix before blending.
