ok one more clicky about trees

Re: ok one more clicky about trees

  • I voted no, but I have a tiny tree outside my door that looks like a tiny Christmas tree.  I might buy some spray flock this year and put a few cheapo ornaments on it.  None for my real, indoor Christmas tree, though.

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

    Of flocked trees or this post?

    I don't get flocked trees, but I'm trying to figure out if I can "unfriend" any of you.

    yes, my gma's tree is awesome. she has gold/white/red birds all over it and i think it looks perfect every year. but i also dig her style!

    It's powdery stuff that is fuzzy, white (comes in other colours, but for trees, i think that's all that people would use), and kind of powdery.  It's sprayed or sprinkled on tress (real or artificial).  You know the fuzzy stuff on some cards, or on shirts sometimes?  That's flocking, too.

    I think when it's on trees it adheres to the leaves, but the application would be done in a garage or somewhere with a concrete floor that's easy to clean (i gather from the google photos).  I've used flocking (like in the picture) for card-making and the clean up is akin to glitter (use a scrap paper underneath, sweep it up and clean up the rest with a cloth, if necessary).

  • it just seems like a lot of effort. i mean, yeah, it looks cool...but to decorate a tree? seems messy.
