9 Compostable or Edible Christmas Tree Decorations

[Curmudgeoness]

4. Oh, there is so much you can do!!!

My first Christmas when I was really broke, I had just set up housekeeping and didn't even own a pillow (one of my most cherished gifts I got that year). But I did get a tree and I decorated it well.

Popcorn strings, and then you can feed the birds.....in fact, until I gave up putting a tree up, I would take the tree outside after Christmas and prop it up for shelter for the birds until spring when I would recycle it in the compost, with the popcorn strings still on it.

Candy canes, and they can be eaten. Or maybe find other small candies in cellophane and put hooks on the cellophane to hang them.

One spool of ribbon (or a few spools of different colors) can give a lot of color to the tree. Just tie pieces all over the branches. These can be thrown away, or untied and stored in miminal space for later years.

I baked gingerbread men and put them on the tree, then also fed the birds.

If you get Christmas cards, you can use them as decorations....or cut pictures from them for the next years. Again, hardly any space to store them.

That is a start. If I think of other ideas, I will let you know.
