Sprite Bottle Mini Trees

We were at a friends house the other day and I happened to notice a few empty Sprite 2-liter bottles laying around. She apparently loves the stuff! Anyway, we brought a few home and I cut the tops off with a craft blade. For some reason they looked like trees to me!

We decorated our mini trees with beads and pom-pom's.They made cute little decorations on our bar during a Hot Chocolate Get-Together with a few friends. 

Some folks even took one of the up-cycled trees home!

Up-Cycled Outdoor Tree Decorations

 My Mom's house has an outside tree/bush that just screams for some Christmas decorations!

Little Mister and I started collecting empty water bottles a few weeks ago. Once we had a few sacks full, we poured a little paint in each, put the lid on tight and then... shake, shake, shake!

I added a loop of yarn around the neck and Ta-Da! A colorful outdoor (a.k.a. water-proof) Christmas tree decoration!

We water-bottle bombed the tree in front of Nonnie's apartment building! 
Surprise!

~I have recently discovered how much fun up-cycling can be! ~
