Organic winter decorations are the best way to decorate your eco-friendly home and go green: nature handcrafted winter decor, organic winter wreaths, winter decorated candle holders, and more winter crafts from natural materials.

4. Recycled / Upcycled winter décor

Winter crafts made from waste materials are the big decor trend for the last few years. You can find collections for recycled craft ideas from wine bottles, wine corks, mason jars, plastic bottles, and more upcycled winter decor.

5. Alternative trees

One more eco-friendly winter decor trend is handcrafted Christmas trees from cheap and unusual materials, instead of real fir trees and pines.
