It looks like your tree is pre-lit. How did you protect the lights from being covered by the flocking? Hi Nancy! This turned out great! Your flocking turned out so good! Thanks for sharing!

You might be able to remove it but it would probably take quite a bit of work. Even though it loses some flocking over time and with use, the flocking is meant to be permanent. These would be attached to the end of a vacuum hose that was connected to the exhaust end of the cleaner so it would blow out. And yes you could tint your tree any color by adding food color some kits came with special color packets to the water.
Real flock is flame retardant and non poisonous to children and animals. Thanks Eddy! It seems like the flocking product is similar to what I used but the application is definitely different! Love love LOVE this!! I have one of those artificial trees with the color coded removable branches. If I were to do this to my tree, there is no way I could remove the branches to store it away after the holidays.
Was wondering if you had any suggestions or how you store yours away? Thanks Alexsha! We did this before I flocked it as well simply because it saves the hassle of putting it together each year! We used to have a tree like yours and if you did flock it, you would just need to be prepared to lose some of the flocking whenever you take it apart and put it back together.
Hi can you please post a link of the flocking you used i tried the one above and it came up with a snow globe. Cathi, That is such a bummer! Sno Flock is the only brand I have personal experience with — but this flocking looks like a very similar product.
Hey could you let me know from where you bought the flocking powder? I am unable to find a supply store :l also my tree is 8 ft tall and quite unsure how much I would need to cover the tree. I bought mine from Amazon. The flock does last for years but will slowly come off over time, especially as the tree is jostled when you are putting it up and decorating it and then taking it down again. After two years without adding any more flocking, our tree was still flocked but a lot more green was starting to show through.
I plan to add a bit more flocking next year and experiment with sealing the flocking. Elizabeth, yes you can flock a fresh tree using the same method! Carrie thank you very much for sharing! Your post is just what I was looking for, I really want a flocked Christmas tree and the snow in the spray bottles is not a good option for me, looks very messy… But the material you used looks amazing!
When you brought it in from the garage, through the door of your home, did you lose a lot of the flocking? I have a standard door! We did lose some flocking onto the floor, but not a terrible amount. The floor needed a good vacuuming afterward but the tree still looked great! I did find one and I fell in love with it.
The tips of the branches look like there are snow crystals. So, do you have any idea how to create the crystal effect? I am not exactly sure without seeing it. The Sno Flock does come with what they call ice crystals which are large shimmery glitter type pieces. You could also consider plain old epson salt — I use it a lot for giving craft projects an icy look.
Thank you so much for sharing the details and even updating with FAQs! Your tree and deco turned out beautifully! Just the texture I am hoping to achieve.

Instructions Before beginning, be sure to protect the floor under your tree with a dropcloth or other protective covering.
Use a spray bottle to lightly mist a section of the tree with water. Scoop some of the flocking powder into the strainer and sift it onto the damp tree from above. Spray the flocked section of the tree with water again. The water activates the adhesive, fluffs up the flocking, and seals it all. Move around your tree in small sections.
Spray each section with water, sift flocking powder over it, and spray with water again. Continue to do this until the entire tree is flocked. If any sections look a bit bare, simply repeat the process until you are satisfied with how it looks.
Allow your tree to dry thoroughly before moving or decorating it. This will take 6 - 72 hours, depending on how thickly you apply the flocking. Recommended Products As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Did you make this project? Comments I am obsessed with this! How long does the process take to flock a 9 ft christmas tree? It would probably take an hour, maybe two depending on how thickly you flock it. Thanks Cheryl! I am wondering the same thing! Hopefully at least a couple of years. LOL Gail. Thanks Jennifer, I am planning to post about that in the next few weeks! This is amazing, and exactly what I was looking to do! I seriously love my flocked tree.
This turned out beautifully!!! Work outdoors or in a garage if possible. If not, lay down a tarp or dropcloth to avoid staining or damaging your floors. Regardless of which flocking method you choose flocking kit, flocking spray, or flocking powder , there are some general tips we suggest following to ensure that your tree turns out the way you want it. To make the flocking appear fuller, apply the flocking once and then continue to add more as you go as opposed to dumping a lot on all at once.
Simply touch the flocking to determine if it is dry or not. But for me, a little mess is worth it. By flocking a tree yourself, you also have the option to use a real pine tree as opposed to an artificial version.
