This time of year everything is better with glitter on it! I just can seem to stop glittering.
These are bottle brush trees that I glittered today when I should have been doing many other things that were not as fun as this project.
Supply List:
Spray Adhesive, silver glass glitter, mica snowflakes, craft tac glue, vintage white paint, bells, cork tops and bottle brush trees.
First I lightly sprayed the tree with adhesive and sprinkled on the silver glitter. Then I took my bell and glued the top of it and stuck in the tree. I used a hemostat to hold the bells to put in the tree. It seems whenever I do a project that is small in size my fingers seem to triple in size so the hemostat makes it so a lot easier.
I painted the cork bottoms with a vintage white paint. Once the paint was dry I applied the glue to the cork and rolled it around in the mica snowflakes. Last I took off the bottom of the tree, put a hole in the top of the cork and stuck in the tree.
Love these! Too cute! Thanks for the tutorial. http://pinkgerberdaisies-kady.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty wee trees! They look so much better without the plastic bottoms exposed like that. A little glitter is all it takes to bring on the romance of these tiny trees!
ReplyDeleteAnything bottle brush is a favorite of mine. Love the idea of the cork bottoms.
