We love everything about eco-friendly decorations. In fact, let’s dispel the myth that just because you’ve switched to a low-impact lifestyle, your seasonal decorations need to suffer. On the contrary! With a little thought (consider materials, where they come from, and if possible, how they were made) you’ll find unique and beautiful decor that lasts.
If you’re feeling crafty, we’ve got a fun way to repurpose your old Friendsheep Eco Dryer Balls into cute, handmade mini pumpkins for fall!
Using few materials and simple directions, crafting is a great way to gather, create, get festive, reduce AND reuse!
(Not quite sure if you’re ready to retire your dryer balls? Check out this post here.)
Then enjoy decorating the dining room table, windowsill, mantel and beyond! Have kids? Send them out to gather natural goodies like acorns, pine cones or fall leaves. They’ll look great arranged with your new (repurposed!) decor.
For a perfect final touch, add to your arrangements a few drops of our Fall Fest essential oil blend - a warm and inviting blend of organic orange and lemon, on a rich base of cinnamon and clove bud. Mmmm...
Enjoy! It's time to get festive, reduce AND reuse.
This DIY project is a great reason to gather the kids or get friends together. Have someone bring the glue gun, and put someone else in charge of beverages. Wine, mulled cider or hot cocoa, your choice!

When you care about the environment, how products are sourced, avoiding toxins, limiting waste, and promoting fair trade wages, gift-giving can seem challenging. Perhaps even overwhelming. Especially when your friends fall into the category of not ‘needing more’. Though the holidays don’t have to hurt the environment. And the gifts you give can leave a smile on your loved one’s face – and the Artisan’s and the Planet’s!
Small Actions = Big Impacts - Partnering to Plant Trees.
When we say that for each item sold we plant one tree towards permanent reforestation, we mean it.
Here at Friendsheep, we care for the Earth, the ocean, children, animals, equality, nature, and those in need. And we aim for an impact that spreads far beyond the creation of any product. In fact, those adorable Eco Dryer Balls you’re using (and every item we dream up) do way more than help with laundry time: Each of our products provide us all a platform to do more good.
