Check through this post and you’ll find some easy ways to flock your Christmas tree:
How flocking works
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).
Materials You Need to Flock Your Tree at Home
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.
