Countdown to Christmas Eve: DIY Frosted Christmas Tree!

Happy Wednesday Friends! The countdown continues--9 more Wednesdays until Christmas Eve! Today we are revisiting my post on DIY tree flocking. I call my version frosting.
I wanted to upgrade my rather tired looking artificial tree and noticed that the trees I was drawn to in the stores had a light flocking or frosted appearance. I wondered the best way to DIY it--I was hesitant to use spray snow or flocking because it constantly crumbles and sheds. I actually pondered this for a few days before I got the bright idea to see if anyone else attempted it on Pinterest. Of course they had! I browsed a few and decided to try a combination of the two I liked best. These fellow bloggers did a great job--one used spackling and the other paint.
As suggested, I arranged my lights on the tree before starting to avoid having to work around my new flocking. I watered down the spackle to a paint like consistency--easy enough to apply, but messy though, so cover your surroundings!
I allowed mine to dry overnight and I am pleased with the results! The upgrade compliments my tree without giving it a completely all white appearance.
