TIPS

-

+ These denim baubles are something the kids could easily make. Attach twine to medium-sized polystyren­e balls then glue on 1cm squares of denim until the ball is covered. The denim wreath was created using 3cm-wide strips of 1.5m fabric. Cut three strips and wrap around a polystyren­e ring, securing with glue at the back.

+ A denim Santa sack can be made using a 110cm x

70cm piece of fabric. Sew a drawstring bag (see page 30 for instructio­ns) and thread through your ribbon. We added a denim tassel made from 10 strips of fabric (60cm x 1cm). Simply fold strips in half, secure with a small piece of denim and thread onto your bag.

+ Smaller drawstring bags can be used for gifting presents. On boxes, add denim fabric ribbons or make smaller denim tassels for decoration. Wrapping presents in fabric is eco-friendly as it can be reused for years to come.
