DIY-christmas-trees-from-repurposed-denim-pin

    • Seams, hems and stitched denim trim from old jeans.
    • Hot glue gun – Strong clear glue and pins.
    • Cardboard – like a cardboard base from a frozen pizza. Any scrap cardboard packaging will do. As long as it is not too thick as you will need to bend the cardboard.
    • Twigs to use as trunks
    • Woodslices for the base
