Be inspired by the original designs and creative approaches for an environmentally conscious yet festive Christmas atmosphere.

Idea 1: Spice up Christmas tree baubles

Whether simply as an eye-catcher, or if the tree decorations from previous years are getting boring: With this idea, you can breathe fresh life into any Christmas bauble: The STYLIT wool cord «Dochtfaden Glimmer» with wire core can be easily wound up in a circle and fits perfectly into the festive Christmas season with its festive glittering Lurex threads. | Design and picture: BLOOMs

Idea 2: Woolly Christmas tree

The "trunk" of the tree is formed by four strips of «Organic» felt ribbon. Attach «Lunte» felt wool in the matching colour from top to bottom with anchor stitch knots. Pull the ends fluffy and cut the fluffy wool into the shape of a tree. The woolly Christmas tree is ready! | Design and picture: BLOOMs

Idea 3: Felt stars for the Christmas tree

Stars always fit into the Advent and Christmas season! Whether in white, as shown here, or in the favourite colour of your choice: these stars made of plain sheep's wool felt are quickly cut out and make an easy and sustainable tree decoration for Christmas. | Design and picture: BLOOMs

Idea 4: Christmas tree figures

If you like figurine pendants, this is the right idea for you. The STYLIT sheep's wool felt «Gitti» with its jute finish has a particularly rustic and original look and is ideal for creating Christmas decorations. Bettina von Hollen made these pendants as part of a lovingly designed Christmas world in red and white.

Idea 5: Sustainable tinsel alternative

Do you know what it's like: The Christmas tree is decorated, but somehow it still looks a bit empty? You don't have to resort to tinsel to fill the empty space. Wrap your tree with wool cords in different thicknesses and colours and give your tree the final touch! | Design and image: BLOOMs

Idea 6: Tree ornaments as gift tags

Double use is always a good idea: we love these gift tags made with pieces of «Stylo» wool cord. Strung together on floral wire and bent into a ring, it not only gives an original finish to your gift wrapping. The "Stylo" ring is also a pretty tree ornament. | Design and picture: BLOOMs

Idea 7: Colourful felt cones

Colourful cones, do-it-yourself: You can make colourful Christmas cones with different colours of «Crushed» felt ribbon. It's easy with a cardboard template. Also a cute idea for crafting with children. | Design and picture: BLOOMs

Idea 8: Colourful «Stylo»-baubles

A colourful set of Christmas balls by Bettina von Hollen. Bettina has made use of the product properties of our «Stylo» wool cord: the small pieces of cord are placed in such a way that their insides are also on display. This shows off the different colours to their best advantage. | Photo: Rudi Tuimann

Idea 9: Unicoloured wool baubles

Similar to the decoration shown above, BLOOMs has also worked here with «Stylo» pieces. The change in orientation of the cord pieces creates a different overall feel. The balls are designed in one colour, although here too, the cord core is a little eye-catcher. | Design and picture: BLOOMs

Idea 10: Spherical Santas

With our wool cord classic, the «Dochtfaden» in red and grey, Victoria Salomon has conjured up little Santas out of Christmas balls. Pointy hats and clothes pegs that look like skis elicit a smile from the observer and make for an enchanting Christmas tree decoration. | Picture: Rudi Tuimann
