This is what makes blogging so much fun! The friendly people we meet!
I was so surprised one day last week to find an email from Diane in Wisconsin.
She had seen my post about bleaching bottle brush trees and she decided to not only bleach them but she went further and added glitter.
Diane also got really creative on the bases...this is an old porcelain light fixture...
She used old milk glass jars and added sheet music and string...
And for the wee little trees she used tinker toys!!! How clever!
Now for the 'How To'...
Diane said after the trees were bleached and dried she brushed them with watered down glue and then sprinkled them with glitter!
So easy! Now I need to do this too. Just think, you could use any color glitter if you wanted pink trees or blue trees...the colors are endless!
Thanks Diane for sending the pictures and how to do it! When you decide to get into the blogging world, let me know and I'll be your first follower!
As for me...I'm in sunny southern Arizona for 2 weeks and almost freezing...who turned off the heat here!!!! Or is it because of all the frozen snow birds coming here cooling it off. At least there is endless sun, very clear blue skies and no snow.
I'm getting my dad's little winter house all set so he can stay here until spring.
And so far, one Christmas decoration that I made a few years ago.
