Flock first, decorate second: a Christmas-tree checklist

A decorating guide from QZYL, the seller.

Flock the bare branches before you add ornaments. It’s easier to see where the snow lands, and you won’t have to work around ribbons or fragile decorations.

Before you start

  • Take off any ornaments or ribbon already on the tree. Keep the lights unplugged and follow the tree and light manufacturers’ instructions around water.
  • Cover the floor beneath the tree. Check the branches from the part of the room where you’ll usually see it.
  • Choose a light or fuller look. One 2 lb bag can cover a tree about 5 ft tall. On a fuller or 7.5 ft tree, expect a lighter finish with one bag.

Apply, then let it dry

Work on a few branches at a time. Sift the powder while lightly misting with water. Step back between sections to see whether you want another pass. Let the flocked branches dry completely before decorating.
