Fireproof Your Christmas Tree

Directions

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.
