A holiday feature on Blisstree features some excellent ideas for eco-friendly and even edible Christmas wreaths. It’s a pretty and tasty idea. I’m especially loving the thought of this eucalyptus wreath.

Dye your Easter eggs green
Easter’s nearly upon us all–have you decided yet how you’re going to decorate your Easter eggs? How about dyeing them green this year? Jaclyn Gallucci of the Long Island Press sacrificed her skin and her orderly surroundings to come up with eco-friendly ways to dye Easter eggs–and the results are fantastic. The picture you see on the left was dyed using patterned silk fabric wrapped around each egg and boiled with water and a bit of vinegar. The design is then transferred to the egg. Just look around your house for any old, worn-out silken materials that you can use.
Check out the rest of the green dyeing methods now so you can get all the materials ready in time for Easter!
