A tree full of decorations that used to be bottle top lids.
Choose a Mixed pack with baubles, a star, a tree and a candy cane, or a Star pack of our 9cm stars. Pick a colourway, or go Lucky Dip and let us choose for you.
How it's made
The lids come to us through BRAD, the Banish Recycling and Diversion Program. We sort and clean them by hand. Then they're shredded, then pressed into shape at our workshop at Central Station, Sydney. Every batch of lids is a different mix, so no two pieces look the same.
Why it matters
Bottle top lids are small and easy to lose in the recycling system. These decorations give them a second life you'll get out every December, instead of a one-season decoration that ends up in the bin.
Specs
Star: 9cm x 9cm, made from 6 bottle top lids
Tree: 10cm x 7.5cm, made from 5 bottle top lids
Candy cane: 10cm x 5cm, made from 2 bottle top lids
You probably have a few bottle top lids in your recycling bin right now. They're small and often missed by kerbside recycling, so we collect them through BRAD, the Banish Recycling and Diversion Program, and make things with them. This pack is one of those things. Baubles, stars, little trees and candy canes, each one made from lids that people sent us. Hang them on the tree, tie one to a present, or string a set together as a garland.

Frequently asked questions
What's in the Mixed 5-pack and Mixed 10-pack?
The Mixed 5-pack has 2 baubles, 1 star, 1 tree and 1 candy cane. The Mixed 10-pack doubles that: 4 baubles, 2 stars, 2 trees and 2 candy canes.
Is this the same star as the Star Pack?
No. The star in this pack is bigger, at 9cm across. The Star Pack and Star Garland use our smaller 7cm star.
How do I hang them?
Thread them onto your tree with twine or ribbon, tie one onto a present, or string a set together to make a garland.
Will mine look like the photos?
Close, but not identical. Every batch of lids is a different mix, so the swirls and flecks of colour change from piece to piece. Choose Lucky Dip and we'll pick the colours for you.
When do I need to order by for Christmas?
Order by 18 December 2026 for delivery before Christmas. Shipping is free on orders over $99.
