dyeing my vintage bottle brush trees
Well now that's addicting. Good grief did I have fun dipping a few of those white trees into some pink dye this afternoon. This took about half an hour during which I was also picking up the place...I am officially a bottle brush tree addict! Next up glitter, glue and gems - do not think I am beyond putting my real swarovski crystals on these babies...
If you are following along on my tree journey (he he) then here is what I did today to make them pink. I simply put hot tap water into a Pyrex with a bit of liquid Rit dye (fuchsia) and stirred. Then I poured some of the dye into two tall glasses and turned the trees upside down in each letting them sit anywhere from 1 minute to about 15 minutes...rinsed with cool water and set them to dry!

I was hoping you'd do pink!! So fun.
ReplyDeleteI really do love the look of the brush bottle trees. I wish I could find a huge on though. The ones in the store are already decorated and very expensive. They are so pretty though.
ReplyDeleteLove these so much! I love how bright and festive they are--beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFUN!!! I'm making an old fashioned ceramic tree with my mom, grams, and cousin on Thursday. I was thinking pink with silver sparkles. Very vintage?! I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThese are starting to look so great! Can't wait to see the rest. =]
