What They DON'T Tell you about FAKE SNOW SPRAY !

[@donmegadonmega3533]

Your supposed to do light coats every few hours. You did heavy coating and the garage looks cold so that’ll mess with the drying time as well. Light mist around the tree and maybe one coat a day for 2 or 3 days should do the trick

[@rebeccablanton2699]

The spray snow is really good for windows. You can also take a water hose and spray the snow off of your tree if you would like to start over with something else.

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

A few things. Spray snow isn't designed to stay in place when it's being moved. Typically people use it while in place or near it's place of stay and accept that you'll have to suck the stuff that falls from the floor. That said there are two options. I've been told that 1) You can use hair spray and let it cure and that'll keep it in place but not permanently so this is good if you want to remove the snow. I cannot confirm this works as I've not tried. 2) You can use a non yellowing spray glue to permanently keep the snow locked in place. It is key that you buy a non yellowing spray glue because there are glues that will yellow over time and that'll leave a nasty look on the tree. Secondly, it is advisable that you flock and glue spray each part of the tree individually. I don't know how the trees go together in the US but I would assume the same as here in EU? What I mean by this is that each branch is an individual piece that connects onto the main pole "stem" that then goes into the support. Take each branch and open the 'twigs'. Once you've done this to all of them, take them outside on a day without a breeze and place cardboard on the floor or table and spray them one at a time. You'll get a better effect if you don't lay it on all in one go. Build the layers up to give a more even realistic look, build the layers up to a point that you are happy with and you should have some nice even looking snow. Remember, snow in most setting will land evenly rather than unevenly. Once you've done all the branches it'll be time to apply the spray glue. On this part I would advise reading the can properly and following what it says as I don't want to give wrong directions because each brand might suggest how to apply it best differently. In general you just want to spray it 'lightly' in a steady passing motion trying to get even coverage. Watching some spray painting tutorials might help get you the gist. Spraying individual branches will not only help you get better coverage it'll help you avoid spraying the branches in place meaning you probably won't be able to deconstruct it after the fact, haha. Disclaimer, I would HIGHLY advise that you flock and/or spray glue OUTDOORS. You might think that the room you did it in is an enclosed space and is properly ventilated and while this may be true to an extent as opposed to a small air tight box you should remember that you're moving around in a room filling with aerosol and fine particulate matter. I personally really wouldn't want to be breathing that stuff in. This is also true for spray glue. Personally I value my health and our lungs aren't designed to breath these chemicals and particles in. I'll tell you for free, COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ) isn't fun and watching people who have it suffer is a stark reminder in why we should protect our lungs because the years of your life left is lived in a horrible struggle both literally and figuratively.

Those fumes aren't good for pets, either. Most have little lungs. 😊 Be careful with hairspray since it might be flammable. Make sure to check.

It worked for me! I have a flocked tree which has lost a lot of its flock over the years and the snow spray made her nice and snowy again. I find that the outside cold doesn’t allow it to try cuz I sprayed my tree inside and that dried overnight but garland I sprayed outside did not. So I have brought that inside to dry.

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh ok so I’ll try that! Thank you. Was scared to spray inside so it wouldn’t make a mess

[@jezebel1490]

@@EstherGiftedHandz it is still quite messy but easy to clean up

[@LOSANGELESDERUPERT]

I just bought the same spray and IT IS A MESS, I guess it is just flour like in a can. I bought it to use it for some ornaments and it never dried. I bet other brands like krylon or from Design masters would do better. Greetings ❤

[@Anndkfjrosldm123]

The spray that comes in a can is thin and looks like spray paint when you apply it. Buy snoflock instead, the one that comes in a powder form. Spray the tree with water as you’re sifting the powder on the tree. I did it like that this year and the tree looks amazing!

[@ankurlohiya1435]

Were you able to remove it from the tree after, or is it permanently stuck?

[@Anndkfjrosldm123]

@@ankurlohiya1435 the flock is permanent. You do get some flakes off as any other flocked tree would when you set it up or put it away

[@ankurlohiya1435]

@@Anndkfjrosldm123 So is there any spray or flock which isn't permanent? I am using my parent's artificial christmas tree, so I want to be able to clean it after the holiday season is over

[@NailEncyclopedia]

If its not a lighted tree, you can wash the snow with water and a little bit of detergent, I've done it for years. Also I use the exact same brand of canned snow

[@rosalinddixon6776]

Yes. Same here - and it did good for me.

[@opalwade5332]

Did it dry for you? Did you spray it inside?

[@NailEncyclopedia]

@@opalwade5332 yes it did dried, and I did it in the garage ...buuuut I did light coats and built it up, it always loose some of it when I put it where I wanted it, but not that much

[@opalwade5332]

I did mine inside and let it dry over night. I used two bottles and just used another two. I felt like it wasn’t enough coverage for my 9ft tree

[@redherringbone]

I did laugh but I feel your pain. I want a flocked tree too but I don't want to spend the money. I love how you like to change it up every year too. Some people decorate their tree the same way every year. No, I can't do that.

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

Lol right . Buy waiting until after Christmas to get my flocked tree 50% off 😬

[@redherringbone]

@@EstherGiftedHandz Absolutely! 🤗

[@diamondhair11]

Paint will not dry in the cold..well it will but it can take multiple days to dry... That is why you should never do any DYI's in the winter unless they are done in the basement or a heated garage. This would have dried sooner if you used a little electric space heater. Far away it doesn't look bad.

[@jax2482]

Awww thanks for sharing! I did buy 2 cans of snow spray to do my windows...i hope i don't regret it! 😬

[@oneikadoll8172]

Thank you for your video. I was gonna buy a fake snow spray tomorrow but now nope

[@kristycloud5791]

Wait until the end of year n buy a flocked tree. I got my from Home Depot on clearance n since it was a display tree, it was marked down even more. It orginal was a $300 tree, but I ended up paying like $70 for it. Def worth it.

[@susanbaker6564]

What I learned last year is the same as you!😢 But that wee bitty tree I sprayed last year looks okay this year and does not shed anymore.... So lesson learned is if you spray fake snow this Christmas it will be dry and not messy the following year...😅❤

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

lol I still have that tree packed up….maybe I should take it out and see how it is

[@susanbaker6564]

Well it can't hurt.

[@susanbaker6564]

I am going to try mod podge, soda, or cornstarch, shaving cream & paint Now to give plenty dry time. But of course I have plans B if all else fails. Just love to experiment 😜 & Play! 🇺🇲

[@pamelapostma8890]

Loved this video! Makes me laugh.. Thank you for sharing! Rest in Peace Tree!

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

🥹😂 yes lol 🪦💀

[@GregSchubert-pu2lw]

The directions say that it should be warmed to 70 degrees before using.

[@breanne4777]

Can't you use the flocking powder over it? It dries thick & it will cover what's been done already

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

I gave the tree away, I hated it so much I went to the store and bought one that is already frosted

[@carmeshalashae1032]

Thank you for this I will just buy a flocked tree cause I was gonna spray mine too!

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

Yes girl! Lol going shopping today. If u find one that’s reasonable and pretty message me 😂😂😂

[@tiarramclaughlin1201]

Listen if you were to have gotten a refreshed tree! You think that was too much of a mess listennnnnnnnnnn I dread taking my tree down or even putting it up so much stuff all over the place

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

Omg!!!!!

[@ishitashahi7608]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@AmandaByrne-m2k]

Even to buy a flocked tree will lose flock over time

[@EstherGiftedHandz]

Yes I ended up buying one last year. It does shed but it doesn’t get as messy as if you sprayed it

[@AmandaByrne-m2k]

@EstherGiftedHandz I'm thinking of doing mine now dnt know lol seen a woman use cornflour and wallpaper paste with glitter looked amazing and sticks but comments were saying it goes brown

How was it. Did it dry good ?
