Not everyone lives in snowy spots—so we may not all get to have our trees dripping snow during the holidays.
But face it, regardless of where you live, you can choose to style your tree and make it look just like you wish.
Looking to style your space with flocked trees this holiday? Keep scrolling. You’ll find all you need to know, and more.
But first… what is flocking, or what exactly does a flocked tree suggest?
Tree Flocking Techniques: From Shimmering Snow to Funky Colors
The flocking process consists simply of covering a tree with fake snow. It creates an atmosphere of awe and classic Christmas elegance. And according to Southern Living, it is “a synthetic dust or powder that can be used to simulate the look of an artificial Christmas tree with snow indoors.”
You may purchase flocked trees from a tree shop to enjoy the flocking effect. And if you will, you may also flock by yourself. To flock a tree using the DIY method, you would need paintbrush, tufts, mists, self-adhesive white powder, and of course, the tree—could be a 6 foot or 7 foot artificial Christmas tree.
With this, you are able to give your tree branches a snowy effect. If done correctly, a great flocking would resemble fresh snowfall.
Why Flock Your Tree?
Flocked Christmas trees are becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons. Some are:
LONG LASTING
Flocking mixtures hold moisture in tree branches by sealing them. This would prevent the tree from drying out as quickly. Water doesn’t completely disappear from the tree, but it’s retained for much longer periods of time.
ANTI-FLAMMABLE
Fire hazards are reduced by flame-retardant ingredients used in flocking mixtures.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Have you ever been hurt by a Christmas tree needle? Well, flocked real trees hold their needles well, making them easier to clean and less harmful.
Over the years, flocked trees have developed different colors other than the original white. So, both artificial and real trees can be flocked.
