[Pictures] Check out these amazing upcycled Christmas trees

Why go with plastic or pine when you could make a Christmas tree about just about ANYTHING?

Here are some of our favourite Christmas tree alternatives:

Bubble wrap and sheet metal

Perfect way to reuse that bubble wrap that came with a gift from a relative (no matter how many times you remind them that you're trying to avoid single-use plastics!)

Ladders

Pallets

(Trendhunter and My Scandinavian Home)

Gloves (Perfect for your local medical centre)

Of course, we're not massive fans of disposable gloves, but this isn't a bad way to upcycle waste that would otherwise end up in landfill! If you're interested, check out these zero waste rubber gloves, which can be composted!
