Supplies For Bottle Brush DIY

sugar mold

2.5″ terra cotta pots (I used 12, it will depend on the number of holes your sugar mold has.

brush trees without the wood base ( I used 12, and used a combination of dark green, light green, and gold)

Metallic beads (I clipped the beads off Christmas floral picks)

white acrylic paint

paint brush

disposable lint free cloth

gold gilding wax

wire snips

clay

bolt cutters

Directions

Before you start, double check to make sure the terra cotta pots you have chosen will fit in the holes of your sugar mold.

Using wire snips, clip the berries off the picks leaving a small stem so that you can press them into the clay later.

Now for the trees…..I did not want my trees to all be the same size.

So, using a pair of bolt cutters, I cut anywhere from 1″ to 3″ off each tree so that the tree would be stagged when I placed them in the terra cotta pots.

Next, dry brush white acrylic paint on each pot.

Using a disposable lint free cloth, wipe off the excess white paint so that some of the terra cotta peeks through.

Rub gold gilding wax around the edges of the pot.

Then shape the clay into a ball roughly the size of your palm.

Press the clay into the pot making sure the clay almost reaches the top of the pot.

Place your tree in the center of the pot and press the clay around the stem to stabilize the tree.

Now, using the small stem on the bead, press the beads into the clay around the clay so that the clay is covered completely.

Place the terra cotta pots back into the sugar mold.

You now have a great centerpiece for your dining room table or a coffee table.

You can even display your bottle brush tree DIY on your kitchen counters!
