How to Decorate a Flocked Christmas Tree?

• 4 min reading time

Ready to sprinkle some holiday magic into your home? A flocked Christmas tree is the perfect solution, offering a whimsical snowy look that sets the mood for your celebrations. The fluffy branches beckon for your favorite ornaments, but how you choose to decorate is entirely up to you! In this blog, I’ll share tips on how to decorate your flocked Christmas tree, ensuring your home feels warm and festive throughout the season.

What is a Flocked Christmas Tree?

A flocked Christmas tree is an artificial or real tree that’s been covered with a white, snow-like substance, giving it a frosted, wintery appearance. The "flocking" material, typically made from cellulose or fiber, is sprayed onto the branches to mimic the look of fresh snow. This makes the tree appear as though it’s just been plucked from a snow-covered forest, even if you live somewhere where snow doesn’t fall.

Flocked trees come in a variety of styles, from lightly dusted trees that only have a subtle touch of snow, to heavily flocked ones that look like they've been buried in a blizzard. Whether you choose a slightly frosted or fully snow-laden tree, a flocked Christmas tree instantly adds elegance and charm to your holiday decor.

Why Choose an Artificial Flocked Christmas Tree?

When choosing between an artificial flocked Christmas tree and a real one, artificial trees have clear advantages. Real flocked trees can shed messily and require regular watering, making them harder to manage during the busy holiday season. Artificial trees offer the same snowy beauty without the hassle.

Artificial trees are reusable, making them a cost-effective and sustainable choice. They last for years, unlike real trees that need replacing annually. Plus, they eliminate concerns like allergies or pests that can come with real trees.

How to Decorate a Flocked Christmas Tree？

Now that you've chosen your flocked Christmas tree, it's time for the fun part: decorating! Below is a step-by-step guide to help you create a beautifully decorated flocked tree.

1. Choose a Theme or Color Palette

When decorating a flocked Christmas tree, start by choosing a theme or color palette. Metallic tones like gold and silver add elegance, while classic red and green offer a traditional, cozy feel. For a whimsical look, try pastel shades like pink or blue, which create a soft, playful vibe.

2. Start with the Lights

Even though a flocked tree looks beautiful on its own, adding lights will take it to the next level. The white branches reflect the light, creating a soft, glowing effect throughout the tree.

Warm White Lights: If you’re going for a traditional, cozy feel, warm white lights are perfect. They enhance the snow-like appearance and create a welcoming glow.

Colored Lights: For a more playful or nostalgic feel, multicolored lights can add a vibrant pop of color against the frosted branches.

How to Hang Lights: Start from the base of the tree and work your way up. Make sure to tuck the lights deep into the branches for a layered look, allowing the tree to glow from within.

If you prefer a hassle-free experience, Vivatrees offers flocked prelit Christmas trees that come ready to shine. This option not only saves you time and effort but also ensures a beautifully decorated tree with consistent lighting.

3. Hang Ornaments

Ornaments allow you to showcase your style. To maintain balance, place larger ornaments deeper within the branches for depth, and scatter medium and small-sized ornaments throughout the outer branches. The snowy backdrop of a flocked tree beautifully highlights your sentimental pieces.

4. Finish with a Tree Topper

A stunning topper completes the look. Whether you choose a classic star or angel, a burlap bow for a rustic vibe, or a sparkly snowflake for a modern touch, the right topper ties your decor theme together.

Conclusion

Remember, a flocked tree is already a statement piece, so you don’t need to overdo the decorations. With some well-placed lights and thoughtful ornaments, your flocked tree will become the centerpiece of your holiday celebrations.
