ADDING SPRAY SNOW TO MY CHRISTMAS TREE

Published on by Terrie12 Comments

You have seen my Christmas tree that I add flock picks to the tree so it looks like it is flocked.  Now I am sharing a Christmas tree that I sprayed a can of snow on the branches.  OK…so it will not stay there like a true flocking or one that you use the flocking product you can buy, but who knows what this gal might want next year.

I flocked a tree back in 2011 for a wedding and after the wedding I sprayed down the tree with our garden hose to remove all the snow.  It worked great, plus the tree was clean. 🙂

If you are like I am and want a change in your tree for just this year maybe I can help you out.  I had several cans of snow just sitting in the garage and thought what the heck.  A very good friend of mine did it and she gave me the push.  (Thanks again Sharie)!

Here is the product I am using.  I purchased the Santa snow from Dollar General after Christmas and scored it for 25¢ a can.

The first thing I did was fluffed out my tree like I would normally.

I placed my plastic table cloth that I used for my pumpkin carving party under the tree.  If you missed that blog, how I set up my table for a pumpkin carving you can go check that out {{HERE}}.

Shake the can as the directions states and start spraying on the tree.  I made thick piles on each branch.  I placed the snow like it would be on the tree when it snows.

You want to keep shaking the can often.  Spray until the tree is coated the way you want it.

 

I let it dry for 24 hours.  It could of sat a little longer.  I just didn’t have enough patience to wait any longer. 🙂

With the lights on!

You want to hurry and clean up the mess with warm soapy water.  I had a little on my wall and floor, most of it was on the plastic.

Here is the mess after I decorated the tree.  I removed the plastic because I didn’t want to tip the tree to remove the plastic with my all the ornaments on it.

I am not going to fool you.  Every time I touch the tree or accidentally bump the tree I get a little mess under the tree.  It sure is prettier than just the green tree though, I can handle a little whiteness under there.

Here is the tree all decorated.  I will show you more when I share the whole foyer with you.

Close up and personal. 🙂

 

I am really loving the look of this tree.  I am wondering how it will look by the time it’s time to put it away.  I will have to keep to let you know how it stayed put.

If you want more inspiration on some cute DIYs my friends Tara at Stilettos and Shiplap & Emily at Le Cultivateur, they both are joining me on decorating our entry ways for the holidays.  All three of us love to decorate our homes on a budget and share how we do that with you.  I will take you right to their DIY.  Click on their name or blog name and I will take you there. 🙂
