With a few extra materials, Christmas tree clippings are perfect for making wreaths. You'll need clippers, a wreath ring, wire and wire cutters, and 7-10 pounds of clippings. Wreath rings can be purchased at Christmas specialty stores.
Or take advantage of the clippings' unique shape by imprinting them into air-drying clay for ornaments.
And the tree trunks can be sliced into discs for use in next year's holiday crafts.
