3' Metal Crystal Trees
 Great, economical little metal Manzanita trees for home decor, event centerpieces or hanging jewelry. Comes in a two-tone darkest brown with clear, (light catching) branch tips. The tree shown at left was spay painted all over, including the clear end tips.
Use them as candle trees with no crystals at all or hang with our Ethereal Brand crystal chains, Swarovski crystal 1' chains.
These lovely metal centerpiece trees are paintable any color such as White, Gold, Brown or Silver.
Best of all, they are small enough (and affordable enough) to give as home decor gifts after the event. Each tree is handmade by talented artisans. Height is approximately 3' tall.
Sold only in Sets of 2 handmade iron trees.
Note: If you need only 20 trees, order only 10 sets of 2 trees and you will receive a total of 20 metal trees.
Each metal manzanita tree comes with several little glass candle cups that are staggered in height and lean a little in different directions for interest. Cups hold tealights (fit perfectly in the cup) or votives (stick out of the cup). Parts screw together in minutes. Disassembles for compact travel and storage. They are shown with some of our crystal ropes for demonstration purposes only. Add our Ethereal Crystal chains to your cart separately if desired.
Small Enough and Affordable Enough to Give Away!
One of the nice things about these centerpiece or table decor trees is that unlike more expensive, bigger trees, they are small enough to carry without taking apart, are not cumbersome for special guests to take home. In addition, they are economical enough to actually give away as gifts to special people at the event. For wedding centerpieces, the bride can give one to each bridesmaid, mothers of the bride and groom and other special guests as a keepsake. They are perfectly sized, inexpensive metal trees to be used as jewelry trees or home decor candle trees.

Metal Centerpiece Tree Decorating Tips:
Use these Manzanita Centerpiece trees undecorated as candle trees or add some "bling" by hanging each metal tree evenly with some of our fine crystal ropes or loose crystals on decorative trim or ribbon. They make wonderful favor gifts, serving as gorgeous suncatchers to hang in a window, ushering in beautiful rainbows from sun-up until sun-down.
How to Make a Crystal Tree
With both the 3' metal trees and the 4' metal trees, hang your crystal decorations on each tree evenly; meaning, if you hang 5 crystal chains on one side, hang a similar amount on the other side, alternating back and forth from side to side as you hang your decorations. Although both are great, our preference is actually the 3' tree because hanging from any lower tree height is the most stable of all. With potted trees using a planter type base, however, even super tall heights are just as stable as low heights.
Adding Traditional Floral Arrangements on Top of Metal Tree "Foot"
Flower arrangements can also be placed around the base or foot portion of iron trees, just as with natural wood trees. Use florist foam bricks around or actually on top of the foot of the tree and wrapped with standard florist chicken wire (for holding your live flowers and securing the foam). Insert your flower stems until the foam blocks are completely covered.
If using silk flowers, of course, you would substitute styrofoam blocks for inserting your flower stems into. You can also tuck a few blooms up into the higher tree branches or on any branch far from the candle flames. As with any candles, use proper candle safety precautions and do not leave candles unattended or unsupervised.
"Planting" Metal Trees in Pots or Containers
These trees also work wonderfully if placed inside a container or planter of suitable size. It can be done almost the same way that it is commonly done with natural branches or trees. The inside of the container can even be weighted if desired, by a small layer of rocks or a brick or two from the hardware store or a garden center. Fill the rest of the container with lighteweight styrofoam, newspaper or something else and cover the top with standard green sheet moss for a natural look. If you plan to spray paint your metal trees metallic colors like silver or gold, you can also do a light spray on the sheet moss so that it matches the tree, but still looks "mossy".
If you don't plan to use sheet moss on the top of the container or base, you can leave a few inches of the pot, planter or container empty, and use the space to insert styrofoam or florist foam for inserting silk or live flowers around the base of each of your trees. |
