I dyed a large package of bottle brush trees, half turquoise-green and half red.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Assemble your trees and divide into how many different groups you need for various different colors.
-
Step 2Bleach them in hot water and bleach. I almost used a whole jug between the two batches. This took almost the entire afternoon.
-
Step 3I ended up getting a little more of the dye off - but as you can see - they only got to be a yellowish color. Keep this in mind when you pick your colors of dye. Yellow + blue = green (they're original color). I made this mistake - and ended up double dyeing in two additional packets of turquoise dye to make them a greenish-blue. (should have thought this out before going with blue dye!)
-
Step 4Let them dry overnight. Give them a dye bath. For my set of 10 trees - I used two packages of each color in hot water with salt. (following the directions on the dye package)
-
Step 5Let them dry on a towel. Then assemble them in your house!
-
Step 6Happy Trees and Deer in my apartment.
