Why Cobalt Blue Reigns Supreme
Cobalt blue isn’t just pretty—it’s powerful. In many folk traditions, this rich shade represents healing, protection, and spiritual strength.

That’s why most bottle trees feature cobalt blue glass. They serve as symbolic armor, shielding the yard from negativity.

Even if you’re not superstitious, they shimmer beautifully in the sun.

Want One? You Can Make Your Own
The Natural Tree Method

Got a sturdy tree in your yard? Perfect. Just slide bottles onto strong branches. Go for cobalt blue if you can. Let nature—and folklore—do the rest.

The DIY Steel Frame Version
Feeling crafty? Try this approach:

Steel Frame: Weld rods or pipes into a tree-like shape.

Cobalt Bottles: Hit thrift stores and flea markets—these are treasure troves.

Bottle Bush (Optional): Use this to hold bottles securely in place.

Once assembled, you’ve got a modern spirit trapper and a conversation starter in one.

The Meaning Behind the Glass
Here’s what matters most: Bottle trees aren’t just yard art. They’re living testaments to culture, resilience, and spiritual beliefs passed through generations.

So next time you see one, pause. Look closer. Listen to the wind. Behind those glinting bottles is a story that spans centuries—and now, you’re part of that story too.
