Vintage Style Bottle Brush Tree Tutorial

Hello friends!
I made Sugar Kissed Bottle Brush Trees!
I've always wanted to try making my own trees and this year I finally did and it is so easy!

I started by picking up a couple packs of trees at Hobby Lobby.

Then I simply soaked them in a bowl of bleach and water until they turned white.

Now to color them, you can mix Distress inks or paint into spray bottles.

If you use paint, use 2 parts paint to 1 part water.

It's a little messy, so I set the tree in a cardboard box and started spraying until I achieved the desired color.

Now set them out to dry. I let them dry over night.


Now take a paint brush and lightly rub glue over the tips of the trees and sprinkle with glitter.
 I used Martha Stewart's White Gold glitter.

You can also cover the tree bases with glitter for extra sparkle.

I can see where this could easily become addictive! I want one in every color!

Wishing you a lovely day, Lindsey
