Have you ever wondered how you could give your old Christmas tree new life? Today, I like to share a simple tutorial on how to change the look of your Christmas tree by flocking the branches.
I had bought this 7 Christmas tree on craigslist to save some dollars. It came with no lights, no flocking but was brand new. After we put it together, we realized that it needed some love.


What you need to flock a Christmas tree:


Bonding flock - 2 x 2pound bags was enough for a 7 tree


a spray bottle filled with water


an empty garage to store the wet branches


Brown Builder's Paper (already owned)


3M 8511 Particulate N95 Respirator with Valve


Total: $64.40


Instructions:


Step 1.


Lay out a big garage with brown builder's paper, use this area for your branches to dry on.


Step 2.


Put on a dust mask, and start by misting the branch with plain old water.


Step 3.


Right after you have misted the branch, apply the bonding flock with a sifter for smooth flock's.

    very pretty! You did excellent job. Looks like high end tree you'd buy. I love it

    Love it but I have cats that lick everything, so not flocking or glitter anywhere in their reach. Little buggers.
