But, you provided the magic step--combing. I was always afraid to do anything with the matting, so my trees looked pretty raggedy. Thanks for the wonderful tip.

I found out, like you, that the trees all react to the bleach differently, even the ones from the same bag. I also found out that you need to replace the beach on a regular basis. I love your pink trees! I wish some of mine turned out like that. The only colors that I got were cream, tan, and light green. I'm anxious to see what you do with them. I used the bleach from the dollar store. Is there a bleach that you recommend?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637557606618596139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-43474275428646104412013-11-02T18:42:49.119-04:002013-11-02T18:42:49.119-04:00This is so GREAT!!
