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.
This is a sponsored post written in partnership with JOANN.com, all words and opinions are my own.
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.
Thus,
these miniature Christmas trees are a fun addition to our Christmas décor. I
just wish I had made them sooner, they were ridiculously easy to make and
really fun to make in various of colors.
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:
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.
