The Christmas Tree Made from Plates

We've seen a few pretty impressive Christmas tree designs already this year but this recycled effort from the design agency Mooz adds a whole new meaning to the term 'White Christmas'.

Placed in the main square of Hasselt in Belgium it's a Christmas tree designed purely from porcelain plates and cups and towers a staggering 9 meters high.

The designers behind the idea, Inge Vanluyd and Stefan Vanbergen, used over 5,000 items of crockery to build the tree.
