Bottlebrush Tree Wreath
Our bottlebrush tree wreath tutorial is easy to follow and yields a stunning holiday wreath.
Pin Recipe
Yield: 1 wreath
Cost: $30+
Equipment
- glue gun
Materials
- 1 24" flocked wreath base
- 4"-5" bottle brush trees
- 2" mini bottle brush trees
- small houses, trucks, etc.
Instructions
- Collect a variety of bottle brush trees and holiday fillers.
- Fluff wreath thoroughly. It's amazing how a matted down wreath will come to life once fluffed.
- Tuck the bottle brush trees and holiday fillers into the wreath, but DO NOT GLUE them into place yet. This is a great time to fiddle with the placement of everything, moving it around until it looks just right.
- Once you've settled on the arrangement of your items hot glue them into place. When positioning the items, have the holiday fillers close to the front of the wreath, and tuck the trees slightly behind, to hide the wooden bases.
- Once the items have been secured with hot glue, go around the ENTIRE wreath make sure everything is nice and secure. I used two additional glue sticks during this step. Adding dots here and there.

Notes
Storage: Give the wreath a good dusting at the end of the season to clean off any debris from hanging outside. Place in a wreath bag or box. Then store it in a place where it can lie flat and not be compressed.
