Christmas and the holiday season in general can be a joyful time of goodwill and cheer, but as Tom Hatfield knows, it is also a time when a huge amount of Christmas trees get thrown to the wayside without so much as a second thought.
In order to make a point about this unnecessary waste, the crafty designer began creating vintage-styled, upcycled sleighs out of discarded Christmas tree branches. Because he chose not to treat the sleigh, the untouched wood not only looks awesome, but also retains the powerfully nostalgic smell of a Christmas tree throughout the winter.
