Hello sweet friends! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Easter week. Today I am joining Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home for the Easter Celebrations Blog Hop. If you are visiting from My Thrift Store Addiction I am so glad that you are here. Wasn’t Cecilia’s post so yummy? Today I am sharing a fast and fun DIY Mini Spring Trees.
A few years ago I created a few Easter Putz houses. They are one of my family’s favorite spring decorating elements. I’ve been wanting to expand the collection and thought adding some additional trees would be perfect.
The Supplies
In the after-Christmas sales, I had found some white bottlebrush trees on clearance. But you can find the trees year-round HERE.
- White bottlebrush trees
- Mini branches or eggs
- Glue (both hot and craft glue)
- Jewelry nippers or scissors
- Craft paint (optional)
- Glitter (optional)
Disclosure: I paid for all of the products used to create this craft. I have attached affiliate links to assist in your search if you are looking for similar products.
DIY Mini Spring Trees
If you wish to paint the base of your tree begin with that task first. Once the paint is dry you can also cover the base with glue and glitter for extra sparkle.
While the paint and glitter are drying remove the mini flowers/eggs from their stems. Jewelry nippers make this an easy task.
Then just simply add the embellishments to the trees. Hot glue is quick. However, if you are creating this craft with children craft glue works well too.
The trees can be whatever color or style you envision.
Don’t these small berries resemble Easter eggs? I can’t wait to make a few more with small spring-colored flowers!
I love how they look with the Putz houses.
This Week’s Video
I created two different vignettes featuring the trees. You can see them both, as well as a visual tutorial, in this week’s video.

You always amaze me with how talented you are. Those houses are amazing and the trees are genius. I love the little village and the eggs, so vun.
These are darling. I have a bunch of green trees I need to bleach first and probably won’t get these done this season but I’m holding onto it for some cold February or March day next year when I can go to town on it! They’re wonderful, Laura!
You had me at glitter, Laura! These trees are so cute and complement your Putz houses perfectly. I love the way these came together. They’re such a cheery way to celebrate the season. Hugs and Happy Easter, CoCo
I adore using bottle brush trees for different holidays and these are adorable, Laura! Have a blessed Easter–pinned!

I love how you decorated the bottle brush trees for Easter. What a sweet village Laura. Well done my friend. Happy Easter.
This is such a fun idea! I love the houses and the trees, so creative and pretty! What a fun project! Thanks for the inspiration!
Ok Laura, your trees are absolutely darling and I love the bright colors of your Putz village. You are amazing!
Well I wouldn’t have come up with that in a million years and I love it! They are so cute and your little houses are adorable too. Hope your Easter is fun and filled with goodness.
You’re so creative! These are adorable and the colors are perfect for spring! Great to hop with you again!

so so cute Laura. I’ve always wanted to do Easter Putz houses and you’ve given me some fun ideas. Your trees are just too cute and I love all the fun color! Have a wonderful Easter Week!
Laura, what a unique idea. What’s not to love about bottle brush trees.? The little Easter “eggs” are so cute. Love the little houses and the painted bases on the trees. Happy Easter, sweet friend.
Laura these bottle brush trees are absolutely darling! They compliment your Easter putz houses so nicely! I definitely need to try to make a few! Thank you for the inspiration!
Awesome idea. I love bottle brush trees; I use them a lot for my dollhouses. I think I need to do an Easter tree. I did Halloween trees (HL had a package of 3 black trees left after Christmas!) recently for the first time!
How creative and magical! I love little tiny treasures and scenes! The bottle brush trees look perfect for you little Easter Putz village. So sweet!
Thanks for joining the hop. Happy Easter!
