Can you flock a fake tree

Repeat as necessary for your desired level of snow appearance. I did two coats, which looks like a light dusting of snow. With a warm, damp towel, gently wipe the snow from the bulbs. Probably not totally necessary, I just wanted the bulbs to stand out more. Let dry for at least 4 hours.

I left mine overnight just to be safe. Enjoy your semi-permanent dusting of snow.

And with Roger at home on this particular day he was able to assemble the tree and carry it outside for me. Luckily, the Christmas tree was crazy easy to flock and it looks even more gorgeous than we had hoped!

Christmas Tree. Garden Hose. Garden Hose Nozzle with Mister. Spray Bottle. Kitchen Sifter — optional. Alternatively you can use a spray bottle to mist your Christmas tree, but I found it was faster and easer to use a garden hose. The snow is meant to adhere to the water so make sure that all of the branches are evenly coated with water. Shake the snow onto the Christmas tree starting at the top and working your way around and down the tree. The instructions on the package say to use a kitchen sifter and spray bottle to do this, but the sifter clogged up in about 2 minutes because the wind was blowing the water from the spray bottle up onto the sifter.

Side note: I highly recommend you do this on a non windy day, I had limited time while the baby slept and big sis was in school so I made do with a little bit of wind. Once your tree is coated with snow to your liking, apply a final coat of misty water on top of the snow so that the snow will harden to the branches. Country Life. Design Ideas. Home Maintenance.
