Flocking Christmas Trees

[mmitc]

So I know that there are many different opinions on flocked Christmas trees but I for one love the look! Can any one provide instructions on the best method for flocking a Christmas tree or where I can get a flocking machine?

Thanks!

The only one I can think of that might be able to point you in the right direction is our good friend Joe Mioux.

I seem to remember him talking about flocking trees as a youngster in a couple of threads here on FC.

I was looking for flocking in a can for another project. My wholesaler told me that they outlawed it or something. Does anyone know if that is true?
I remember as a kid using the laundry flakes and making a past and using that. It really did look like snow.

We don't flock trees anymore, but we do flock lots of branches and pinecones, etc. to use in the arrangements.

You can buy the stuff here http://www.surveyorsupply.com/evansc/products/product_detail.asp?ID=86

I find it very funny that you, in the bright wonderful state of Calif., would want it to look like SNOW for Christmas!!

You just made my day! Thanks!

I strongly dislike those flocking Christmas trees myself.

I think Houston has had snow 4 times during my long life time...So people here love flocked trees...

I prefer just spraying snow on the top of each limb.
