Rustic Bottle Brush Trees

I love bottle brush trees! And I love all of the fun and creative ways people come up with to display them. If you spend any time on Pinterest or Instagram, you’ve probably seen at least a few examples of adorable bottle brush tree vignettes.

I’m putting a rustic spin on displaying my bottle brush trees this year.

Bottle Brush Tree in Bucket

First up is this very tiny – and very cute – bottle brush tree, which is only 2.5 inches tall. I purchased a wee little 1-inch tall bucket in the miniatures section of the craft store. I cut out two small squares of burlap, overlapped them, and pushed them down into the bucket to gather around the base of the tree.

Now I have an instant rustic look that would be perfect in a miniature garden or terrarium! Can you imagine this displayed outside of a rustic-looking fairy house or miniature log cabin?

Bottle Brush Tree in Rustic Wheelbarrow

Remember my miniature rustic wheelbarrow tutorial I shared here in September? (That’s OK if you don’t: just click the link in the previous sentence to see!)

After using it to display Fall decorations, the wheelbarrow is now holding a sweet 4-inch bottle brush tree.
