I have been tinting bottle brush trees for years, and never tire of the transformations.  After mixing the coloring and hand dying, I add a sparkle of mica flakes.  

The ornaments I use to decorate the trees are from my stash of vintagy goodness, tiny shiny brites or beads cut from glass garlands.  .

This tree stands 6" tall it is a pretty, ombre tone that fades lighter at the top and it sits on an old jello mold
