I hope so. I prefer self-made Christmas decorations, and the links you provided are very helpful. I am hopeless at effective web search.

We are going to make garlands of little bells out of nespresso capsules with the kids next. A colleague provided hundreds of them. We have already scratched out the used coffee residues for the compost heap at school and washed the things. They had a week and a half to dry out completely during autumn break, so we can start with the creative part when we get back.
