What do you do when you can’t get a snowy tree right within your home? You flock.

Why Flock Your Christmas Tree?

In simple terms, flocking refers to the process adopted to create the feeling of a winter wonderland during Christmas.

How it works? You get your tree, assemble it, and then cover it up with white artificial powder.

If you’ve ever hit the internet for synthetic Christmas trees, then chances are high you know what flocked Christmas trees look like.

Check through this post and you’ll find some easy ways to flock your Christmas tree:

The flocking magic

Fun fact: Christmas tree flocks are readily available for purchase on the internet. So you may want to make them a fun DIY project to embark on this holiday. Whatever your tree choice — a rustic Christmas tree that’s just recently chopped down at the farm, or an artificial one that has been preserved for some years, flocking works.

To begin, set up a space with drop cloth and create enough room for mess — flocking can be a little bit of messy at times. Then ensure that you have taken all necessary precautions for safety (wearing goggles or a mask will go a long way in preventing ingestion of flocking solution).

Next, mist the needles from one end of the tree, until they are damp. Then move to sprinkling.

Spray on the flocking to the tree; and then to pull a more regular coverage, shake it through a strainer placed over the branches of the tree.

Once you’re done flocking one end of the tree, mist it again using a spray bottle. Allow flocking get activated and sealed to the branches of the tree.

And yay! Your flocked Christmas tree is ready!

Before you begin adding ornaments and lightings on the tree, allow it dry for minutes or even a few hours.
