DIY Colorful Christmas Brush Bottle Trees

Colorful Christmas Trees are easy to make using brush bottle trees aka sisal trees. You can dye them any shade or color that you can find in the store. Such a fun way to add bright colors to Christmas Decoration.

Christmas is such a magical and wonderful time of year. So much festivities and so many fun things to do.

I have always loved the decorations. But, I’ve toned it down a few years ago because I’ve either been pregnant or just had a new baby and so my energy level is low and can make me a little Grinch-y. But as my kids have gotten older, their Christmas spirit is contagious and I have started doing more because of them. So with some trees from JOANN, I decided to make some colorful trees.

I’ve been wanting to do colorful trees for years, but haven’t got around to it. But this year, I decided it was time to finally make some. The Christmas tree is my favorite decoration because it means everlasting life that Christ can bring to us. I just love how the decorations can give us that constant reminder.

How to Dye Brush Bottle Christmas Trees


Supplies:

RITDye – I got the denim blue, navy blue, green and  wine colors
Bleach


Cup for water
I also made a fun video below to go with the instructions below:

Dyed Christmas Trees Supplies

Step 1: Bleach Trees

Add a ¼ cup water to every cup of bleach. Soak trees until most of the color is gone. A couple of my trees bleached to yellow, but they still dyed just fine. Rinse trees well in water

Step 2: Dye Trees

Mix 1 tsp to 1 cup really hot water (really hot tap works fine, but I used boiling water). Dip trees for 10-30 seconds. The longer they’re in the dye the darker and more vibrant the colors. TO get a variation in colors, just dip in one type of blue and then dip in a green color. This will make more teal colors.

Step 3: Rinse

Once you’re happy with your colors, rinse trees in water until the water runs clear. Let trees dry.
