If you like bottle brush trees, then this simple bottle brush Christmas tree vignette is sure to make you smile. It only takes about five minutes to assemble and it’s portable. Keep scrolling for my helpful tip of securing the trees, so you can move the vignette easily from counter to table or wherever.
How To Make A Bottle Brush Christmas Tree Vignette
Supplies For Bottle Brush Vignette
- bottle brush trees
- galvanized tray
- florist tape
- faux snow
- fairy lights
Arrange bottle brush trees on a tray. Then using clear florist tape secure each tree to the tray by taping over the tree stand.
Regular tape will also work but florist tape is easy to remove and the narrow width easier to work with. Once the trees are secure, the tray can be moved without the arrangement toppling over.
Scatter faux snow over the base of the trees, then add a string of battery operated fairy lights.
Of course the iconic car with a bottle brush Christmas tree tied on top can’t help but bring out the kid in all of us. Who can resist a bright red VW Bug?!
When I first thought of making the bottle brush tree arrangement, I wanted something easy to move off the coffee table. Our grandson is almost a year old and walking everywhere. Yikes! I love holiday decorations on the coffee table, but the necessity of being able to move an arrangement in a moments notice is pretty handy.
Holiday Entry Table
Your probably wondering why I’m showing photos of the entry table. Well, I ended up placing the bottle brush Christmas trees on the entry table, because I love how the arrangement looks in front of the chart map. The scale and colors of the trees just seem to work better in here.
As for the coffee table… I’m working on it.
Did you notice the garlands? These simple wool felt pompoms, one in shades of green, the other in white, keep the green and white theme going.
The tall glass lamp and a little bit of faux snow in the large glass hurricane candle holder keeps the entry table light and airy.

That’s lovely, Michelle. I’ve always done mine on a jadeite cake plate. The galvanized tray works well too. Happy Decorating!

Thanks Julie! Christmas makes me feel like a kid again, especially with the bottle brush trees and garlands.

I love a portable arrangement – I always do my dining table centerpiece on a tray so it’s easy to move when I need to add a tablecloth or make more space for food! And that VW with the tree on top is just adorable!
Michelle Meyer says
Thank you Janet! Good point and you are so right about the tablecloth and food.
Allyson says
Your bottle brush trees look so good paired with the galvanized tray and it makes such a pretty display. Your peace lily is so healthy looking!
Michelle Meyer says
Thank you Allyson! The peace lily is so happy in this spot I’m afraid to move it. 🙂
