DO YOU LOVE THE LOOK OF SNOW ON A CHRISTMAS TREE? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR HOME INTO A WINTER WONDERLAND THIS YEAR WITHOUT ALL THE MESS?

I'm sharing 2 Easy Steps to Flock a Christmas Tree & more, without all that mess. You can easily add faux snow to trees, wreaths, pinecones and in addition, they stay looking great year after year!

BEGIN FLOCKING YOUR TREE

I'm starting on a small 4' tree that I've had for a couple of years, however I received a new frosted tree from Balsam Hill and wanted this tree to match more closely. To protect your table from splatters and drips, cover it with a drop cloth or a piece of wax paper. If you have mixed properly, the mess will be minimal. Begin by adding a small amount of spackling to your chip brush and gently brush over the top limbs of the artificial tree. See more tips to ensure success.

The Finished Flocking Projects

Within less than an hour, several flocking projects are completed and after another couple of hours, they are ready to display. The tree on the right was flocked last year using this same method! It looks just as good this year after being stored. If you'd like to see more examples of this flocking method, be sure to link to the blog site linked below.

Warning!!!

Now you are ready to start flocking everything in sight. This 2 Easy Steps to Flock a Christmas tree is addictive. This really is serious, because you have to control yourself or everything will be flocked. See more details here.

    Yes. I, too, want to know if it lasts outside with the SNOWY or WET weather?🎄

    • I’ve never left them exposed without a shelter so I can’t say. I have had trees on my porch all holiday season and they are exposed to dampness and it didn’t affect the snow at all.

    Rachel, I think the little trees are adorable and was a compliment when I said the little trees looked like Charlie Browns Christmas tree. He is a favorite of my family 🌲😘
