Sustainable Eco-Friendly Handmade Holiday Decorations
8th Dec 2023 – 12th Jan 2024
With the environmental crisis and the economic struggles that people are facing this holiday season UHI Perth Gateway to Creative Industries (Art and Music) students have created wonderful holiday decorations from household waste, old damaged books, leftover craft materials, old fabrics and biodegradable glitter to demonstrate cost-effective and fun to make alternative decoration solutions. Even the batteries used for the lights are rechargeable. This is to inspire people to have fun making their own.
If you decide to recreate or are inspired to create your own decorations please share your creations on social media to inspire others: #128TBG

Special thanks to the Pathhead Equestrian Center Kirriemuir for contributing the beautiful lush greenery – such a wonderful smell! They are offcuts from their fabulous Christmas trees now on sale at the farm.
