Fireproof Your Christmas Tree

1. 1

   You will also need a bucket and a spray bottle.

2. 2

   In the bucket mix 1/2 gallon of warm water, the alum, boric acid and borax.

3. 3

   Stir well until the powders dissolve.

4. 4

   Finally, stir in the other 1/2 gallon of water, mixing well.

5. 5

   Put some solution into a spray bottle and generously spray your tree; probably a good idea to do this outside and/or use a tarp or plastic underneath.

6. 6

   Add more of the liquid to the spray bottle as needed, spraying to thoroughly cover the branches and trunk.

7. 7

   If you have any of this mixture remaining, add it to the tree stand.

8. 8

   Allow the tree to dry before decorating.

9. 9

   Make sure to clean up any spilled water or pine needles to avoid staining.
