Bottle Brush Christmas Trees-Bleaching & Dying

Here's what Cathy had to say about her tutorial:  Have you ever wondered how to get those cool looking cream and colored bottle brush trees. Well I finally tried it this year and it worked! First of all they come that dark green with the white snow on them and usually a bag full of them. I got a bag of 16--assorted sizes--at Big Lots for 6.99.
