Painted And Pearled



bottle brush trees, Christmas decor
Not all bottle brush trees are bleached and dyed.

Some get painted and pearled.
















Started with white trees.

Sprayed a few silver.

















Sprayed a few pink.






















Sprayed a few old gold.
























Let them dry a day.

Spritzed a little spray glitter.




















Strung pearls on silver beading wire.

Wrapped around each tree.

















Bottle brush trees -
both painted and pearled.

More trees coming soon!






See y'all!

  5. Great idea Donna ... looking good with pearls. Good way to solve the problem with trees that won't bleach. Have a great week-end.

  8. Love your trees Donna.........going to try and do some myself. That vintage shop I went to yesterday gave me some inspiration..........their creations were just fabulous and they did a lot of different things with bottle brush trees.

  9. Those are so sweet! Love the pink ones...:) I don't know why I have never thought about spray painting them...especially when nothing is safe from my spray paint.

  12. Now there's a way to have own bottle brush tree forest, how cute in other colors, love them. Just might have to try that, have spray paint will spray. Actually I don't get to spray paint, hubs thinks he's only one that can do it right and since I have other things to do I let him spray anything I need spraying.
    Putting wired pearls on trees gives them another little angle on looks of them. Glad you didn't put too much on trees, just enuf. Happy weekend and season. Pinning
