Years ago my mom‘s friend flocked her Christmas tree with Ivory Snow. So I googled and your article is the one that came up! I was so excited to see it. The one thing she did differently that I remember was she said she used her vacuum cleaner on reverse so it would blow. I was little when she did it and I remember the tree being caked with snow. I’m wondering if she made bubbles and then blew it with the blower , Unfortunately I have lost contact with her and she is probably deceased by now so I cannot ask her. Just thought I would throw the idea out there and see what you thought since you’ve actually worked with the Ivory Snow ,would love to hear back from you!
How long will the tree last? Did you find another soap that works as well?
They haven’t made Ivory snow for years. Can you use something else ?
Most assuredly a lovely idea for a Christmas tree! And the rest of your blog is seriously awesome as well. When I get mine up and running… I would love to link some of your ideas on my page. You’ve made my list and it’s all good.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family.

Thank you! I hope you get your site going soon! It is a lot of work, but very enjoyable. I would be honored to be shared, thank you!
Im going to try it on a wreath first and see how i like it. Thanks for you lovely pics.i enjoyed them.
Thank you so much for sharing how to do this, I’ve always wanted one so now I’m going to give it a try. Enjoyed all your lovely family photos.
Wonderful! So glad it could be helpful for you! Thanks for your sweet words!
Hi Cami, your tree turned out beautiful! Were you able to use any other detergent to get the same results?
Do you know if the tree will last through December and through New Year’s with the detergent on it – in other words, wonder if it cuts down on the “life” of the cut tree? I like to keep my tree up for over a month.
Thanks for the great idea – lovely!!
We usually get our real trees write after Thanksgiving, and almost always take them down the day after Christmas because they start to feel dry. That being said – I didn’t notice a difference last year when we flocked it, compared to when we haven’t. They always seem a bit dry by then. I think if you water it, the soap shouldn’t make a difference. Hope that helps.
Such a great idea!! I love it, and am definitely going to suggest we do it one of these years! As always, I'm just in awe of you, such cute ideas!!
Never thought much of flocked trees before (maybe it's because I live in Phoenix, so a "snow-covered" tree just felt fake):) – but yours turned out beautiful!
I've never heard to flock a tree that way but it sounds like a great idea. I loved your pictures of your family cutting down a tree in the mountains. That was always a favorite thing of mine growing up too. I must say that your little boy sure is getting big fast and is super cute too.
