A work in progress. It takes 3 - 5 days to put my tree up. This is my new $25 6' tree from Target. I start by spraying with 2 cans of aerosol snow (bought last year for half off), and this year I knocked most of it off after wrapping the branches with the lights.
Not a can was left in my corner of the Catskills. So, I sprayed the tips with white spray paint and dusted them with glitter.
It didn't get the effect I crave, like this to-die-for, desparate to emulate picture from Rose Petals and Blooms last year.
