It is likely that, by now, you have accomplished a great deal in terms of tree preservation. Great job!
However, there are a few other steps you can take to enhance the process:
Dress the tree stand with a shower curtain or an old sheet and cover the skirt and the floor as much as possible.
Take the bottom part of your flocked Christmas tree out of the box. Be sure to avoid fluffing while it is still wrapped up.
The bottom piece of the tree needs to be installed in the stand.
The tree shouldn’t be unwrapped or fluffed. All you need do is take out its middle piece! Add to the tree bottom and connect plugs together.
Attach the top piece of tree to the middle piece after taking it out of the box. Assemble all the tree plugs together.
To make sure your lights work on a brand new tree from the store, plug it in while it is still wrapped.
If they don’t seem to work fine, take trees down and return them in their boxes. Yes – you might have to return brand new trees if lights don’t work!
The wrapping will still be on the tree, so you won’t have to do all that work to fluff and unwrap it just for nothing. The flocking will also not have to be cleaned up very much!
Unwrap tree top carefully if the light works.
Wrap bubble wrap around the box and label as “top” for after Christmas when you’re packing up. Then fluff the top piece.
Since the lower parts of your tree are still covered, less flocking will fall off since you won’t knock into it.
Make sure that all the lights on the top piece are working, and replace blown bulbs if necessary.
Vacuum up flocking that sheds to the floor.
(As you set up your flocked Christmas tree, vacuum the flocking so it doesn’t spread as you walk).
Then, move on to the middle piece, and finally to the bottom, vacuuming up any flocking you find on the floor.
