Yes, you'll thank us after we tell you how to go flock yourself! Flocking means adding a mixture to the tree that makes it look like snow has just fallen on the tree. Here it is in simple steps!
1. Choose a work site - Typically best outside or in a garage (empty of any cars!). If you are working outside, you want it to be on a still day, without gusts of wind!
2. Work fromk the top down. On a ladder, start at the top of the tree to flock the top down. The flocking that falls through will help cover the branches below. You can use a scoop, spatula or paint brush to apply the flocking to the needles, but you want to drop the mixture on the needles, don't smear it on; that will flatten it out and make it look fake. You want to primarily drop the flocking in small clusters, just like a heavy, wet snow falls.
3. Check your work. Stand back every few minutes and check your work!
4. Dry completely. Once completed, the tree will take up to 24 hours to dry completely.
