Have an eco-friendly holiday this year with Yusra's dragonfly ornaments, which are crafted entirely from recycled paper. First, the Indian artisan cuts the paper into strips of all different sizes, then rolls the strips into coiled shapes. Two ornaments receive a coat of colorful paint, while the remaining two are left plain. Each ornament is equipped with a jute string for hanging.

Nature blooms on your Christmas tree with this set of four ornaments that bring botanical charm to the holiday season.

Each piece arrives with its own metallic hanging cord, prepared to become an instant focal point among your branches.
