I’m a design expert – here’s my cheap and easy hack for a gorgeous snowy look on your Christmas tree this year
A DESIGN expert has shared her cheap and easy hack to give a gorgeous snowy look to your Christmas tree this year.
TikToker Hattie Kolp has revealed a simple old-school way to make sure your tree looks perfect ahead of the holidays.
Hattie shared a clip of herself preparing the decorations for her Christmas tree and said: “Last year I did something new (to me) with my Christmas tree.
“I used baby’s breath to create a dainty, snowy look.
“I learnt that this was a popular tradition back in the 70s. Let’s bring it back! So beautiful.”
The Tiktoker provided some extra info in the caption for those who wanted to follow her example.
She explained that baby’s breath helps “preserve the blossoms and keep them from shedding by spraying them with some hairspray.”
She noted that it is “mildly toxic to cats” so you need to make sure you vacuum regularly or just opt for faux baby’s breath.
Hattie added: “Some people claim it stinks but I never noticed a smell. I think as long as you keep them out of water and let them dry as soon as you get them, you’re good!”
She revealed that she paid $80 for the flowers and advised “wrap them up carefully in tissue paper and save for next year” after Christmas.
