How to Make Valentine Bottle Brush Trees

February is finally here and that means we’re one month closer to spring! Our winter has been pretty snowy and cold so far and rather than let it get me down, I’ve invested time indoors to making more projects than usual. Today I’m joining several other bloggers for a Valentine’s blog hop where we’re all sharing Valentine inspiration (see links at end of post). I’m going to show you how to make Valentine bottle brush trees.

How to make Valentine bottle brush treesI was so happy to find white bottle brush trees for half price shortly after Christmas. Since they’re white, I didn’t have to bleach them first like I did for Christmas. Plus they’re a brighter white than the bleached version.

Use a hot glue gun to adhere the decorations onto the tree.

  1. These trees are so sweet, Jennifer. I have some of those white ones that are sparkly and would be cute done this way. We’ll be away for Valentine’s so I won’t do them but I have a few decorations out to enjoy beforehand. Have a nice week!

  2. If we get snow, it’s usually in February. The last snow was on Feb. 14 actually. Since it came early this year, maybe we will have an early Spring. Just want enough snow to last a week. I know, I know everyone else says, “Enough.”

  3. I must say the trees are delightful! Perfect for a “holiday” that falls in winter. The bright white trees and red and pink are so bright and cheery! The flowers complimemt your mantle so well, too.

    Have a blessed week!

  4. Love the trees and heart banner. Would you like to come to my house and help me make it as welcoming and peaceful as yours?! 🙂

  5. Please, oh please use dear St. Valentine’s title of Saint of the Catholic chuch and a bishop. Everyone uses the title of the feastday of St. Patrick so please render St. Valentine the same honour.
    With gratitude and joy and Happy St. Valentine’s Day 2014.
