MIST WITH WATER AND FLOCKING POWDER Then simply spray water on the wreath and sift flocking powder onto it. Give a few more mists of water to help set everything and let it dry for a few hours. It’s that quick and easy.

ADD CHRISTMAS PICKS OR NATURAL ELEMENTS You could easily buy some pretty Christmas picks to add, but I decided to go the free route. I took my garden shears outside and cut bits of vine and cuttings from some evergreen shrubs.

Flock the vines and branches the same way as the wreath – mist with water, sift flocking powder over it, and mist with water again. Stick them in the wreath.

– Basic evergreen wreath – Flocking powder (not spray) – Spray bottle of water – Strainer – Vines, sticks, or evergreen clippings – Large jingle bells and string

HOW TO FLOCK A CHRISTMAS WREATH

HOW TO FLOCK A CHRISTMAS WREATH

Be sure to put some type of dropcloth beneath your work area before you begin. Start with your plain pine wreath.

MIST WITH WATER AND FLOCKING POWDER Then simply spray water on the wreath and sift flocking powder onto it. Give a few more mists of water to help set everything and let it dry for a few hours. It’s that quick and easy.
