Alternative to snow

From improvised means you can make snowdrifts, scatterings of snowflakes and Frost patterns no worse than the real ones. They will help to include them in the interior.

Snow is often replaced with cotton wool, but salt, paper confetti, foam balls or rain white are also a good alternative.

For a snow theme, you can use white fleecy blankets and carpets. They will complement the overall composition, effectively combining external resemblance to cold snow and warm tactile sensations.

There are many options for using snow imitation:

• cover vases, figurines, flowerpots and other home accessories with white faux fur;
• put foam balls on a fishing line and hang them from the cornice - this is one of the best imitation of falling snowflakes;
• make snowdrifts on a large tray using salt;
• cover all horizontal surfaces with a thin layer of cotton wool;
• Place a garland on the windowsill, covering it with white mesh tulle - this way you can imitate shimmering snow.

Snow decor can be different, the main thing is to match creative process with nice mood.

If you don't want to bother with homemade snow substitutes, you can purchase artificial snow in cans at the store. With its help, you get the most realistic resemblance of snow, because the similarity of the substitute to it is very high.

It can be in the form of a spray or have a gel-like consistency. Snow powder is also sold, thanks to which the snowdrifts turn out simply magical.

Artificial snow is quite economical. To decorate your apartment you will need two or three spoons of the dry mixture. It is filled with water in the proportions specified in the instructions. In a few seconds you will have real snow kuchugurs, because the artificial substitute increases the volume tenfold.

It is almost impossible to distinguish artificial snow from natural snow. The only sign is that it doesn’t melt.

Decorative snow contains polymers that granulate upon contact with water. The result depends on the amount of moisture. To obtain snow powder, the dry mixture is diluted with a large amount of water; soft and fluffy snowdrifts require less water.

Artificial snow can be different: synthetic fibers give the imitation a specific shine, viscose in the composition makes it a loose consistency, suitable for making snowballs.

To decorate the Christmas tree, window sills, candles and other details, you can use artificial snow, which is easily made at home. In some cases, you can even make snowballs from it. We have put together for you the best collection of methods for preparing artificial paraphernalia. Let's look at all the options in more detail.

Candles and talc

To make dry snow, prepare glitter (preferably gold, silver, blue or pearlescent). Also place a kitchen grater, unscented baby talcum powder (powder), and several white paraffin candles nearby.

Place the candle in the refrigerator for half an hour or in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until it hardens well. After the time has passed, grate it on a medium-sized grater. To create a shimmering effect, add small glitter to the shavings (color of your choice).

The resulting composition leaves no traces, does not dissolve in water and does not change shape upon contact with it. As a rule, artificial snow of this kind is used to decorate New Year's balls and Christmas trees, and to paint windows and window sills.

Styrofoam

The easiest and most common way to make artificial snow at home. To do this, get a piece of foam from an appliance or electronics box (they have smaller granules). Place the layer on a flat surface, take a fork and begin to move it vigorously back and forth. As a result, the “grains” will fall off; you need to collect them as they accumulate. In most cases, foam-based artificial snow looks unnatural. It is used for decoration spruce branches

, directly to the spruce/tree itself, window sills, painting balls and filling them, creating small hail and firecrackers.

Paper towels (toilet paper) Take white paper towels or toilet paper and tear them into small pieces. Grind into crumbs in a convenient way white natural soap

Place the bowl in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, monitoring the condition of the paper fibers. They should become fluffier and raised. The soap, in turn, will acquire a softer and more pliable consistency.

After the expiration date, take out the mixture, pour in some filtered water and mix everything with a fork. Place in the refrigerator for 3 minutes, then grind again. It is from this kind of snow that you can sculpt mini-snowmen, play snowballs, and decorate any surfaces and objects.

Eggshell

Boil several eggs with white (not red) shells. Clean them, remove the films. Place in a tight plastic bag, place on hard surface and grind into powder with a rolling pin. Once the shell is ready, you can mix it with glitter and then start decorating. Artificial snow is attached to spruce/Christmas tree branches using PVA glue and used to decorate windows, creating various designs. The composition is used to stuff transparent New Year's balls.

Baby diapers

No matter how strange it may sound, artificial snow can be made from disposable diapers or white diapers. The thing is that such attributes absorb moisture due to the sodium polyacrylate contained in the composition. In its swollen state, the drug looks like real snow.

To perform the procedure correctly, remove the cotton-like stuffing from the diaper/diaper. Tear it into very small particles, then place it in a deep bowl. Begin to slowly pour in cold purified water and at the same time knead the resulting mixture with your hands. In the end, you will get a decoration that is difficult to distinguish from real snow. The attribute is used to create snowballs, snowmen, and holiday decorations that involve the presence of peculiar snowdrifts.

Baking soda and shaving foam

Pour the soda into a small bottle so that it is convenient to mix it with other ingredients. Squeeze a bottle of foam into a deep container and at the same time add baking soda, then immediately stir. Proceed intermittently: pour in, mix, pour in again. For 1 can of foam there is one and a half packs of soda. When mixing is complete, place the mixture in the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Then take it out and add glitter for decoration. The peculiarity of this method is that the finished snow smells of frosty freshness if you choose foam with the appropriate aroma.

Foamed polyethylene

Very often, housewives use bubble polyethylene, which is used to wrap household appliances during transportation to better protect the cargo. Take 1 sq. m. of material, twist it into a tight tube, then grate it with fine divisions. Combine the resulting air mass with pearlescent glitter, add 3-5 packets of potato starch and a little filtered water. Stir until the mixture becomes homogeneous.

After that, dry it on a radiator or in direct sunlight. Shred a little with a fork, then start decorating. The composition looks very beautiful and natural on fluffy artificial Christmas trees and natural spruce trees. To properly attach artificial snow, coat the area to be treated with PVA and then sprinkle it with the compound.

Toothpaste

The method is more suitable for spraying on windows, mirrors, balls, and a Christmas tree. As a rule, a stencil soaked in water is applied to the surface for better adhesion. After this, the voids are filled with snow inclusions. It is necessary to spray very carefully, because the drops fly in different directions. Buy the cheapest white one toothpaste without colored granules. Squeeze half the tube into the container, add a little filtered water to make the composition more liquid and creamy. Dip your toothbrush into it and point it at the object you want to treat. Run your finger upward along the bristles and release to create specks of splatter on the item.

Starch and soap

Grate a bar of white soap on a fine grater and mix it with 3 packets of potato or corn starch. Boil 200-250 ml. water, pour boiling water into the mixture, then beat the mixture with a whisk, forks or mixer until a thick foam forms.

To make snowballs, take a foam ball, dip it in the mixture and dry it on the radiator.

You can dry the mixture and then knead it if you need the snow in powder form.

Salt

As a result, you get a kind of frost. To start the procedure, take an enamel pan, pour 5 liters of water into it and add 2 packs of table salt. Place the pan on the fire, stir and heat until the mixture dissolves. When this happens, turn off the stove, put the branches in the container and wait 4-6 hours.

Using this method, you can also make multi-colored snow with your own hands by adding food coloring to the container.

IDEA No. 4 SNOW FROM WAX CANDLE

Can be grated white soap or a candle. The resulting shavings must be mixed with baby powder or starch so that the “snow” does not cake or stick together.

IDEA #11 FLOUR

IDEA #12 SHAVING FOAM SNOW

You can use just white foam, or you can make crumbly snow from which you can make snowballs.

You need to mix about a pack of baking soda with about a can of shaving foam. By kneading a mass of these ingredients, you will get a cool, snow-like substance, from which snowballs and snowballs are indeed molded.

IDEA No. 13 SNOW FROM PACKING BAGS

You will need:
- foamed polyethylene; (material that is used as packaging material for breakable items, and is also inserted into the toe box of new shoes to maintain shape.)
- fine grater
- scissors.

It is advisable to work with gloves. With a little effort, we get the following result. But if you are not satisfied with this result, you can experiment further. Let's take scissors and finely cut our snow flakes.

IDEA No. 14 PAPER SNOW

You can make a beautiful snow bouquet using cut paper. You will need white or pale blue paper (for example, paper napkins), thin foil (Christmas tree tinsel). This entire paper “collection” needs to be crumbled into pieces of the chosen shape. You can cut out circles using a hole punch, or make small cuts, thin strips or any arbitrary figures. Mix the paper in a dry and sufficiently large container. Carefully dip the collected branches into glue (clerical or PVA) and sprinkle with prepared frost. Leave the frost to dry and your snow bouquet is ready!

IDEA No. 15 SNOW FROM POWDERED SUGAR

Frost can be made not only on branches, but also on fruits. Why not a New Year's bouquet with a frosty apple or a tangerine in the snow? Apply fresh egg white to well-washed and dried fruits and, without wasting time, sprinkle the fruits with sugar or powdered sugar. Add a couple of spruce branches, dry maple or holly leaves to the fruit and your bouquet is ready!

IDEA No. 16 SOAP SNOW

Option #1. From soap and toilet paper.

Prepare 2-3 rolls of white toilet paper and a bar of white soap. Tear into small pieces. Microwave the dish with the paper mixture and the whole bar of soap for 1 minute. Check the contents every 15 seconds. In the oven, the mass should fluff up. Now the soap has become soft and crumbles right in your hands. Fill the mixture with water. First add 1 glass, then add another half glass. Now you can form a snowball.

Option number 2. From grated soap and powder.

Grate white soap and mix with baby powder.
