Halloween Forest

I know I am not alone in my love for bottle brush trees. So when I saw this on Sara's blog, I knew I had to try it!


I tried two trees I found at the thrift store, but I think they are made of plastic and they didnt work. So I picked up the one's that she shows from Michael's. They were $14.99 here but on sale this week for $11 and some change. I also used the same color dye that she mentions. I got it in the laundry section at Walmart.






Defiantly kind of messy, but so worth it! Some black dye snuck in under my glove so my hands still have a bit of a grey tint.



Here they are! I haven't done any embellishing as I do not have any vintage balls or anything. I thought about some of the eyeballs like she did, but I'm not sure. I kind of like them how they are!



I think my favorites are the candy corn ones. My black and orange ones didn't come out too great, I guess I didnt let them dry enough. I wouldnt mind getting another batch and doing some more!
