How To Re-Color Bottle Brush Trees

Are you like me and a major holiday craft hoarder? I’ve had this set of bottle brush trees in my stash for a while awaiting the perfect opportunity to use them. It occurred to me that I haven’t used them because they didn’t match any of my holiday decor. When I thought of the perfect project to use them with, I had to figure out how to get them to match. And, then, it hit me. I had all the supplies on hand (and if I hadn’t it would have been super easy to get them).

I love using these Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mists and am surprised it took me so long to figure out they’d be perfect for re-coloring my bottle brush trees. And, it was SO easy. Here’s what I did.

I have to confess. I love these so much I’m planning on getting myself to the craft store straight after work tomorrow so I can have a forest full of these lovelies.

I also think I need to totally guild the lily by adding some glitter. Don’t you think that is a great idea? Tell me in the comments below or join in the conversation over at the Desperately Seeking Gina Facebook page. (And, if you don’t think it’s a great idea, go ahead, tell me that, too)
