STEP 2: Get it home and set up in a tree stand on a large plastic tarp or dropcloth outside or in a garage depending on the weather. STEP 1: Get your Christmas tree! We picked a 7′ Noble Fir from Green Acres, who generously donates them for the Tour. I knew I had a 7′ tree, so I ordered 6 pounds to be safe, but definitely had some left over. Once it’s hardened and dry, it won’t fall off and get everything messy! Make sure you know how tall your tree will be so you can order the right amount of flocking. It’s actually a bonding flock– it’s pure cellulose, non toxic, flame retardant, biodegradable, shake proof, and rain and fog resistant, so it’s safe and environmentally friendly. Ok, first things first– this is the flocking I used. AND THANK GOD I DID! I found the most perfect red flocking and absolutely love the way it turned out! Here’s the full DIY with photos and videos– and the amazing after photos! PLEASE share your flocked trees with me once you try it! Post it to IG with #houseofbrazierflocked But after some challenges with where to get it flocked (the trees were donated and didn’t have flocking as an option) and some reconsideration after nightmares of spray paint and tree lights getting caught on fire, I opted to can the spray paint (pun intended) and start back at square one. So when I couldn’t find a suitable faux red tree for the Sacred Heart Home Tour, I figured I would get it flocked and then spray paint it with red floral paint. Oh man, you guys! This was SO fun and I can’t wait for you to try it too! Sometimes I have these ideas and no clue how I’m going to do it, but I know I can figure it out with a little bit of research, creativity and outside the box problem solving.
