“Even the least things such as garbage can and have the potential to be beautiful.”
A lot of waste materials can be seen everywhere, waiting for proper disposal. Some are disposed properly while most are left indisposed and it becomes a problem because of the quantity of these indisposed waste materials. In the facility, we can see cans of soft drinks, empty C2 plastic bottles, waste papers, waste boxes and coffee cups. These things are already considered as garbage but why not use these materials as components of a Christmas tree? Making a Christmas tree out of these wastes can make a beautiful Christmas tree at the same time it minimize the amount of garbage from our facility. Right from the start, we knew that these waste materials are potential Christmas tree components.
Every material in the Christmas tree can be considered “waste” or “garbage”. Most of which can be seen in our facility while others are from home. Empty C2 plastic bottles, soft drink cans, and used coffee cups were the primary materials. Then coffer cup cutouts and plastic bottles were utilized for the side decorations. The star on the tip of the tree is made from the coffee cup. Green mosquito net was made as the cover of the base that gives contrast to the red Christmas tree. Then the other decorations were waste papers and boxes turned into cute gifts, ribbons, straws, paper socks and curly sheets making a Christmas tree made entirely of recycled materials.
After making the Christmas tree, we realized something. The Christmas tree is a reminder to us not only of the birth of our Saviour, but also to tell us that we can make something from our garbage and we can mold what we considered garbage into something beautiful. Every component is different and is considered waste but when put together it becomes a part of something beautiful.
