Bottle Brush Variations

I finally got two trees up in my house. One in the living room and one in my office. One year I even put a sweet little silver tree in my bathroom lights and all.

I haven't got a good shot of the entire tree however here is a few of my favorite little bottle brush trees I added to thread spools .Oh the first picture is a tiny bottle brush tree in a vintage jar
                                                 
 Then had to show my bronzed baby shoe again
Some of my thread spools I painted others I wrapped ribbon around them and glued the ribbon on the spools. One spool I used pink and white poke a dot duck tape cut to fit. dipped some of the trees in glitter
 I had a little leopard ribbon and had to use it
I still want to create more and I have plenty of supplies believe me
All in a row 

Gina and I went out scouting around Tuesday for treasures I found another complete box of shiny brite ball for $5.00 and an original small box of vintage tinsel for 55 cents!!!! I will use the box for a shadow box somehow.

    You have a really sweet collection of bottle brush trees. Love the variations in colour here. Setting them on wooden spools is a great idea. These trees are really coming back in style again, and I see them everywhere. I want to pick up a few for my own decorating ... can you believe I don't even have one?! Enjoy your decorating! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    So miraculous, Janice! Thank you for leaving us a bit of joy while preparing for the holiday. We've got one tree at home and one at work. It's better decorated at home, of course.
    Love and happiness to your family,
    Fred and Jane
