This is a very clever way to recycle even the smallest existing items, like a zipper tab. Check out the rest of the recycled zipper tab items this Etsy seller AmaliaVersaci has on her site. I'm tempted to get a pair of the zipper tab earrings as a holiday gift.

 

 

5. Classy Wine Cork Ornaments

These very attractive ornaments are made with real wine corks. They have been hand wrapped with wire and a variety of colorful beads. To match this set of 3 ornaments there is also a cork wreath and a cork Christmas tree along with many other eco-friendly gifts at www.sterlingwineonline.com.

I hope you enjoyed the list. There is also a surprisingly nice collection of recycled ornaments here at Amazon. May your holidays be filled with color, joy, health and eco-friendliness. Happy holidays.
