I love how the white lights look with the flocked branches. I love that my tree has two light options. Our tree in our family room has the most important decorations of them all. Before blogging I just put everything on the tree as is. And, much cheaper! I do try to come up with some kind of theme every year to give myself a direction to change it up. It’s nice to be able to use the same decor over and over in a fresh, new way. I reused a lot of the items I used last year with my boho Christmas tree. I hung my owl ornaments a well as some mercury glass (love!), and glittery snow balls. Both big name craft stores have lots of pretty pre-made branches you can use.
I also purchased a few pre-flocked branches from Michaels in their floral section for variety.I tucked those branches in among my regular branches away from the lights, along with some flocked pinecone branches, berries and other sparkly and snowy floral’s I have the winter wonderland tree I wanted without all of the commitment. In fact, you can see other ways you can re-use an old tree. Re-using an old tree is a great upcycle too. Instead of voiding my warranty of my beautiful tree by putting flocking spray directly on the branches (and flocking spray can be a little toxic too depending on the brand you don’t want to spray it directly in your house), I used extra branches from an extra tree andplaced them on a drop cloth and flocked those outside in a well-ventilated area( with my gloves, mask and protective gear) using a flocking spray, and tucked those in the branches. There are all kinds of items and techniques you can use to flock a tree from DIY flocking powder spray, soap shavings, shaving cream, cornstarch and a sifter, and even snow flock powder and white glue that recommend you place it directly on the branches of pre-lit Christmas trees. I just wanted the flocked “look” so I decided to fake my flocking.
