Yvonne, the bottle brush trees standing on the salvage pieces was sheer creative genius!

[@barbstover5831]

That's exactly what I said! Genius!

[@brendaphilyaw3677]

Oh, I love ‘em!! God gave you the eye and hand of a beautiful artist! And yes I always stay to the last with you! I’m afraid I’ll miss something wonderful!

[@anniehamilton1709]

Such a cute idea. Now all I need is some architectural salvage. TFS

[@angelgirl8544]

I loved the trees. I have so many smalls that would go on them perfectly.

[@faithward1757]

Beautiful, the combination of the salvage wood and the bottle brush trees. Your talent and eye for repurposing things is extraordinary ❤

[@conniesanders9755]

These are unbelievable. Wow what you did, so glad you rescued those scraps of wood. Absolutely a GREAT job. I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love this video.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@netamorton4832]

Wow, how beautiful! I love old anything! It’s to much of a throw away Society. I appreciate you and Chris always making the old look new again!❤️

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much

[@sallygreiner5724]

These are so unique, beautiful done and staged. Your vision and execution is flawess.

[@ldiane5462]

I love these!!! They are each unique and then put them altogether!!!! WOW!! Thank you so much!😊❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Glad you like them! Thank you

[@bonniesmith1179]

I absolutely love those salvaged pieces wit the bottlebrush trees. They are just amazing, and I’m so thrilled you did not burn those salvaged pieces. They are really neat.

[@RJanke65]

Love love love ALL of these!!! 🎄🎀🎄 That biggest piece I was thinking "sleigh" but ALOT more would have had to have been done to it. Better with the trees! ❤

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Of course, loved these bottle brush creations! And, depending on how flattened your other trees are, you could use them in a shadow box.

[@daretamccullers7574]

I love love love this video! I love bottle brush trees too and can’t wait to try to find some yummy old wood -you are some kind of genius!

[@ginacrusco234]

Adorable and delightful! Especially with those little critters sat on them!

[@janashe8600]

Yvonne, Once again you have amazed me!! These are adorable!!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@peggymohr7899]

they turned out so cute once again.

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

Oh….Yvonne…did worked your magic with the pieces from the burn pile. They turned out to be gorgeous. I really like the bottle brush trees you purchased at DT and Walmart. Thanks for sharing and keep your inspiration flowing because I never, ever miss a video.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@cindypoling5922]

Oh my those are adorable. Hope my Dollar Tree has some of those trees. Now if only I had some wonderful salvaged wood in the burn pile.

[@gailhannon5794]

Oh, Yvonne! What a save! I love bottle brush trees and old wood 🎉 love, love, love!❤

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

As you say, Yvonne, “oh my heart!” These trees on the chippy salvaged wood are perfection! Love each one. Hope I can find some wood pieces to make some.

[@maggievclark303]

These are so cute makes me see my childhood Christmas time

[@missbonimeduridesidns1793]

In my little store up the street they have piles of that kind of wood and mouldings and I thought what could I ever do with that?Bingo!

[@GingerChickRehab]

🥰

[@bjcox6570]

To re-fluff a bottle brush tree, I have hit it with the heat gun slightly back-and-forth, because they’re plastic and then just take my hand and re-fluff and squeeze together. Are usually can get them looking really good

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@moechatham]

Always love what you create from any salvage! 🤣❤️

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you! 😊

[@NotTooShabbyPatti]

Love the trees and how you staged them, especially with the little bears.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much 😊

[@karenhanes8137]

Hi Yvonne- beautiful and inspirational as always!❤ I just did about 100 bb trees on old kids’ alphabet blocks. The trees were really squished. To fluff them up I misted water on each tree and gently combed them downward with a fine toothed comb. Worked great and fixed the issue quickly. As always, thank you for helping those of us who are creatively challenged!

[@danastory9294]

They are all gorgeous > I can't pick a favorite I love them all

[@gwencobb1452]

I could see a.small deer among those cream trees.awesome as.always

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Awesome creations with the bottle brush trees! 🤗

[@Emmaandlucy743]

You created the town square, beautiful!

[@debbiegreen2414]

I love the bottle brush trees!

[@brenyule]

Clever girl! These are great. I have some pieces of old chippy beautiful pieces too! Now I know what to do with them! 🎄🎄🎄

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I love the bottle brush trees and look for them all year also. Absolutely beautiful and pure genius. 😊❤

[@deebeckham4754]

The little trees would be so cute with a little animal or bird in the snowy bottom.

[@GingerChickRehab]

They would

[@debbied3116]

Awesome trees on the old and repurposed baseboards and corbels. Thank you for sharing!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@jeannettethompson3993]

Always an amazing creative work of art.

[@deborahtaylor-baker844]

Looovvvee themm all. I wish I had a pile of wood like that.

[@jrellett9810]

Oh my gosh, these are so cute and creative! Love them so much!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!!

[@judithstonier9872]

These are absolutely beautiful I had decided on a 'tree' theme for this year's Christmas decor and this idea has given me new ideas 😊❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Wonderful!

[@reginaaccornero4229]

I just love these ideas. I have some of them I got from my son.

[@barbstover5831]

LOVE what you created!❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄

[@annemaskell2082]

These are fabulous! Call me crazy but I look at them and see a snow covered rocky shoreline. I imagine the water lapping gently around the shore as little birds flutter between the trees :)

[@GingerChickRehab]

That’s what I felt.. it was a snowy background ❄️

[@aprilmcmullen7024]

Omg!! I always love to see what you do..such beautiful creations..the first piece reminded me of a sled..how cute that would have been with bottle brush trees off the back with a iron scroll plant hanger as the blades for the sled?? Just an idea.vision ❤

[@LisaMillion]

I have some really old corbels, thank you for the beautiful idea..

[@evamcrimmon3647]

Those are so cute.. and I love the bears with them too.

[@judym4673]

WOW those are beautiful and really Awesome ❤👍🥰😃. You’re very talented

[@deborahlee6240]

I've been putting them on spindles for the stands. You have taken it to a new level. Love them!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yes.. they are awesome that way too

[@rbirkheimer59]

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!! They are amazing! I dearly love these. Only you my dear, only you :) God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. Thank you so much!

[@marycaygross4096]

Love, love , love!

[@susangarman9561]

I was thinking about the piece with the one tree, that you could glue some little people on it, like they were going to gather around the tree. Maybe even find some little critters and birds on and around it too. It would be a woodland theme.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Love that ❤

[@bonniesmith1179]

To me, using this the white chippy paint as the backdrop for the trees makes it look like an early snowfall that hasn’t totally covered the ground.

[@deemanolaros6036]

Oh my golly! I, too have a thing for bottle brush trees. Love these projects! I just found 2 glass insulators with holes in the top. You know what is going in those holes!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Great idea

[@patriciarock6894]

That last one looks like a sleigh! And by the way, your nails look fabulous!😊

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@karenhoward6367]

so beautiful! I love everything piece! ❤️

[@neomidevaughn9530]

Loved your bottle brush tree pieces!! So creative.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you! 😊

[@sheilacowles]

Omg I just love those ! The wood looks like snow on hills. Love them all together. I missed you yesterday!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you.. just a busy time of year.

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

This is absolutely brilliant! I love decorating with bottle brush trees too but they always fall over or they’re all similar heights so this is a game changer! 🌲

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yes.. I love changing out the bases to give them stability. And using different size bases to give them different heights😉

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

@@GingerChickRehab perfect!

[@marycoffee7366]

You’ve turned me into a bottle brush tree fan!

[@ringsandthingsparty4513]

I’m working on bottle brush trees but I like what you did with yours. I need to look in my wood box to see what I have thanks for the ideas. Linda

[@jadestone8552]

Oh I love what you did with the bottle trees. I will look and see what I have laying around.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Awesome.. thank you

[@laurieg2436]

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

[@josephrainwater1966]

👍👍 totally wonderful ideas. And the staging topped them off. 👌

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@nancydavis670]

Bottle brush brilliance!🎄🎄🎄

[@donnamcl6134]

Very cool Yvonne. Who would have thought to take moulding pieces that were ready for the burn pile stick some bottle brush trees in them and have awesome one of a kind home decor...YOU! TFS

[@GingerChickRehab]

I know right. I’m glad the inspiration hit🌲

[@sandycook4140]

Wow these are awesome and I’m definitely doing these . I have a couple corbels that were sliced in half. I’ve been wondering what I could do with them. Thank you ,thank you ,thank you! I think I’ve decorated at least half my house with your inspiration! You are the absolute best at what you do!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you for sharing this 🌲❤️

[@MelissaCuiksa-gh4wz]

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww..Thank you so much!

[@ChrisBury20]

The large piece looks like a Santa Sleigh

[@GingerChickRehab]

It kinda does ❤

[@rhondawagner7426]

Hey y’all from Texas. HOW TO FLUFF… a rough looking bottle brush tree. Use a glass container with HOT water, dunk it then immediately fluff it with a fork. Whallah… it will come back to life after completely drying. Loved this video, so much inspiration while I start my journey moving to our forever home in the TX Hill country soon. ~ Kountry Junkin’

[@GingerChickRehab]

Awesome.. will be trying that🌲

[@marycaswell6894]

Those are beautiful, you're so creative. TFS ☮💜

[@donnadozier4294]

Oh! Oh! OH!!!! This is so incredibly creative! I couldn't understand why you were painting before putting it back together. Be still my pounding heart! I'm so excited about this video. You knocked it out of the park! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@sharonwinningham808]

I know I can always count on your videos to inspire ideas for my projects! I love the fact that you save vintage pieces! They are each and every one a huge plus to any Christmas decor! And I have to tell you,that little yellowish vintage bear 🐻 in front of the larger tree set touched my heart! How very sweet,and precious! Thanks again ,God Bless❤

[@sarahpollnow3137]

Love them!

[@heatherreddish9286]

Use your heat gun to heat up the bottle brush trees and to get them straight again.

[@tracyshumaker8272]

I absolutely ❤ how you gave up, which we rarely see with you, and then inspiration struck in a glance. These turned out amazing ❤❤❤

[@kathycameron7625]

This has to be your sweetest rehab yet! All those little shoes and you did an amazing job! I love them! I have a pair of my baby shoes I walked in at 7 months! I will be making some with them if I can find small enough trees! I am 72 now!

[@trinadorcheus1719]

Oh my! Love love love them. So creative!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sharonnewman650]

I wouldn't have seen the possibilities with those salvaged pieces, but I watched through and completely love what you created. I like your way of thinking to prolong the life of these arcitural pieces. Beautiful !❤

[@arlenelamont5610]

You have the most creative eye! Glad you saved the wood from the burn barrel. The three cream colored ones is my favorite-Well maybe. Love them all.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@user-ks3yf5bu3s]

I have taken bent up/flattened bottle brush trees, wet them down and straightened out their branches.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Just water. Ok I’ll try that

[@GingerChickRehab]

Amen to that 🌲

[@patriciavavra7375]

Oh my, I have made a huge effort not to go to Dollar Tree, but these bottle brush trees are so pretty. Now, the question is, will my Dollar Tree have them.

[@GingerChickRehab]

That is a good question.. I only went to one.. it’s always a hard guess

[@conniekirkland4425]

Boy you sure can eyeball things well!! Love these!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much!

[@terriallen2537]

Yvonne, I'm so happy you didn't burn these beautiful salvaged pieces. Your creative mind did it again!! These are Absolutely Stunning and Gorgeous!!! Wow, Wow, Wow 🤗😲🫣 The trees you chose were perfect for each piece. I agree, DT has stepped it up on the trees. Wal-Mart has some lovely choices, too. I Can Not wait to see your next creative video. Thanks for sharing, take care and God bless 😊

[@ycurry4550]

I saw someone dip the trees into hot water. They came right back to life!

[@chrisjackson2345]

they remind me of trees on the edge of a river with the curves. Love them!

[@cassandracleveland]

Oh man! Now you’ve done it! My mind is spinning with all the fun I can do thanks to you!! I even have a few scraps of decorative wood I can use. This video is just so wonderful. Thank you!!

[@reneelittle7464]

You are so creative! I love how all of the different pieces turned out! They really elevated the bottle brush trees!

Thanks so much! 😊

[@beverlyhawbaker2988]

I saw a lady dip the bottle brush trees in hot water for a short period, and they looked like new.

[@juliebrard5883]

In the last project, my mind envisioned a little country scene with the big space making it a ice rink......I love what you did, they are so cute!

[@debbiemarkgraf6901]

I Love how these all turned out!! I have a Love for bottle brush trees. TFS Yvonne!

[@craftym5]

These would look amazing behind my Department 56 Christmas display. Brilliant idea! I can imagine little foxes and deer among the trees, the options are endless. Thank you for all you and Chris do. P.S. I have a bunch of Tim Holtz bottle brush trees I dyed with distress spray inks,they are so cute. I have to scrounge my hubbys wood supplies now!

[@groovin2mytune285]

That was great! I needed some of those tips! I don't have that pile of trees, but I need them. So off to dollar store and Walmart I go. Thank you again!

[@GingerChickRehab]

🥰
