On a recent trip to our local Dollar Store, I found the perfect greenery for mini Christmas trees.

I had been wanting a few more mini trees, so I gathered the supplies and gave it a whirl. Making these small flocked Christmas trees was so much fun, quick, and simple.

Supplies:

You will need:

Floral foam for artificial flowers
Small buckets
Steak knife
Faux Greenery
Wire Cutters
Floral Wire
Snow Spray (I used something similar to this)
Buffalo Snow Flakes

Step 1: Cut the floral foam with a steak knife

Since my bucket was wider at the top, I cut the foam a little wider than the base. Once it was cut, I firmly pushed the foam into the bucket.

Step 2: Cut the greenery to the height you desire with wire cutters.

The greenery I used was flat on one side, so I used 2 pieces for each tree and cut them to identical lengths.

Once cut, I held them together as one in my hand and slowly, firmly pressed them into the center of the floral foam.

If the hole gets too big along the way and the tree wobbles, stuff a little paper towel into the hole to make it snug.

Step 4: Wire the 2 greenery pieces together with floral wire.

I cut a small piece of floral wire and wrapped it around the stems of the greenery to hold them tightly together.

Step 5: Add a tree “skirt”

I wrapped a ripped 2 inch piece of linen (or canvas) around the foam to cover it and make a little tree skirt.

Step 6: Add flocking

I added the snowy flocking by spraying the branches with Buffalo Snow. While still wet, I pressed some buffalo snow flakes into the white snow. Then I sprayed again and let it dry.

They make a really fun little winter edition to our Christmas decor!
