The prospect of enjoying a snowy, white Christmas is on everyone’s mind, even if you live far from the North Pole. You want a Christmas tree covered with white snow to make your holiday dreams come true. But, what is a flocked Christmas tree, and how can you get your tree to be just as pretty?
What is a Flocked Christmas Tree?
Flocking your Christmas tree is a process to make it look like the real thing, giving you that winter wonderland creation by dusting it with artificial snow. You’ve seen these trees in shopping malls and online in artificial Christmas tree stores.
Decades ago, people used to flock their trees with flour, cotton, and cornstarch. Luckily, it’s not as messy to get the same look. These days you can buy pre-flocked or dusted trees with snow already spruced up for you. You can create that dreamy Christmas spirit by purchasing a flocked Christmas tree online.
DIY Flocking
Whether you want a freshly chopped down tree or a rustic Christmas tree, flocking works on them all. The main thing is to prepare your place, as it can get messy. Drop some cloth around your tree. Get your mask and gloves on to prevent inhaling the flocking solution.
You can use a flocking spray or a snow bond Christmas tree flock. The important thing is to use a spray bottle filled with water, no matter what you choose to use. Always start at one section of your tree by misting the needles.
Now sprinkle or spray the flocking onto the misted sections as it helps it to stick. For even coverage, shake the flocking through a sifter over the tree branches. Keep going with the process until you have your flocked Christmas tree to your desire and leave it to dry for a few hours.
Christmas Tree Flocking is a Breeze
As you can see, you can easily create your tree with snow, making it look gorgeous, or you can invest in buying a flocked Christmas tree already covered with snow.
