Decorating a Christmas tree with flocking is the perfect way to make your holiday season sparkle.
Flocking involves spraying adhesive onto the branches of a tree and adding artificial snow to give it a more realistic, snowy look. It’s an easy way to make your Christmas tree look more festive during the holiday season.
How to Flock Your Christmas Tree
Find a spot outside or in your garage instead of flocking the tree indoors.
To flock your tree, you’ll need a spray bottle filled with white glue mixed with water and liquid fabric softener in equal parts.
Once the mixture is ready, you can begin lightly misting the tree branches, starting from the top and working your way down.
Sprinkle artificial snow or craft glitter over the wet branches for a festive look.
Allow the mixture to dry overnight before adding additional decorations such as ornaments, lights, and garland.
Flocking a Fake Christmas Tree
Flocking a fake Christmas tree is similar to flocking a live tree.
Grab your artificial snow, adhesive spray, and a paintbrush. Start by spraying the adhesive onto the branches, then sprinkle on the artificial snow until you have achieved the desired effect, and use a paintbrush to spread out any clumps of snow for a more even coating.
Why People Love Flocking
People flock their Christmas tree because it gives a festive and cheerful feeling to the home. It is also a great way to bring people together during the holiday season, as many people will gather around the tree to decorate it and spend quality time with loved ones.
Flocking a Christmas tree also adds texture and dimension to the tree, which makes it look more realistic and visually appealing.
Not only that, but flocked trees are often used for winter-themed decorations, so they can be an ideal choice for those who want to create a winter wonderland in their living space.
Taking Care of Your Flocked Tree
Taking care of your flocked Christmas tree is important to keep it looking its best throughout the holiday season.
First and foremost, water your tree regularly (for live trees) because the flocking can cause it to dry out quickly. Don’t place your tree near a heat source such as a fireplace or radiator since it can damage the flocking.
When it’s time to remove decorations from your tree at the end of the Christmas season, take extra care not to pull off any of the delicate artificial snow that has been applied.
With patience and attention to detail, you can create a stunningly beautiful Christmas tree that will be the centerpiece of your holiday decor!
