Christmas Tree – Flocking
Q: What is the stuff used to make Christmas trees white, like they are covered with snow? Is it poisonous?
A: The flocking material that is applied to Christmas trees is composed of finely ground cellulose (in other words, paper!) and water-soluble adhesive.
I don’t believe it is harmful.
