The unspoken rule of the internet is that the tinier the thing, the cuter it is. From teacup pigs to delicate doll houses, taking things down a few sizes or more automatically makes it adorable, and this includes our favorite holiday decor ideas. We're talking about tiny tannenbaums: the ever-popular bottle brush tree. They may be small, but they are packed with style. Whether on top of your holiday mantel, under the tree, decorating your Christmas table or so much more, the bristly little trees that look like evergreens but are often sisal make whatever space they adorn extra lovely. They're proof positive that sometimes something small can be mighty—festive, that is.
Bottlebrush trees first became popular decades ago, but they've made a big comeback thanks to a growing nostalgia for vintage Christmas decor. If you'd like to get in on the craze, we've gathered up the coolest bottlebrush tree Christmas decorating ideas, including DIY Christmas centerpieces ideas, a cake topper, and even nifty place cards. And if you're a DIYer, we also have projects that will let you make bottlebrush trees that are a beautiful bone white, or almost any hue of blue and green you can imagine. We even have a craft that will create bottlebrush trees that sparkle like the sun on snow. Best of all, these bottlebrush decorating ideas will go with any style decor!
