 o
Christmas tree Flocking recipe ??

Posted by Cece_ (My Page) on

I saw the prettiest Christmas trees at our local nursery. They were frazier
furs sprayed with a white flocking material. The man said they would spray
any tree I picked out, with the secret formula !!--, for a mere $15 a foot !! He did share that one ingredient was cornmeal.
Does anyone know the recipe, and does it take a special spray gun?
Thanks--------Cece

Make Your Own Christmas Tree Snow
You will need:
2/3 cup liquid starch
2 cups soap flakes
2-4 tbsp water
Blue food coloring
Mix together the liquid starch and soap flakes in a bowl. Add the water and beat with a rotary egg beater until the mixture becomes thick and stiff. Add the food coloring a drop at a time while beating, until the snow becomes an icy-white color.
Paint on your Christmas tree branches. If you want, you can sprinkle some glitter on the "snow" while it's still wet.
