Christmas is fast approaching - why not get creative and save money and waste by making your own decorations?

Christmas craft activities are fun to do with kids and can be a great way for everyone to get into the festive spirit without spending money. 

Co-op is on a mission to reduce Christmas waste and is offering prizes for sharing photos of Christmas decorations home-made from everyday recyclable materials. 

This year, they are running a 'Design your Own Christmas Decoration' competition.

Here are some ideas and a template from Co-op to get you started.

To enter the competition all you need to do is take a photo of your decoration and email it to [email protected] by 11pm on Wednesday 20 December 2023.  

You could be in with a chance of winning a £200 cheque for yourself and £200 for a local charity of your choice. Terms and conditions apply. 

When Co-op Members buy selected Co-op branded products and services, 2p for every £1 spent goes into their Co-op Membership account and Co-op gives the same to support community organisations and local causes. Co-op Membership helps support Co-op's national charity partners and Local Community Fund causes. Become a Co-op member here.
