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 vintagey goodness, tiny shiny brites or beads cut from glass garlands. 

My candlesticks  are also vintage, collected all year from flea markets to save up to make tree stands at Christmas.

This tree stands 11" tall.

There is a scene with a mini tree and tiny elf tucked away in the base of the candle holder.
