You can also get artificial snow from foamed polyethylene (packaging for breakable objects), which is also rubbed on a fine grater. To decorate the edges of glasses and glasses, the most common sugar is used. Today, artificial snow at home can be made from the filling of a new diaper, for this the filling crumbles into small pieces. After that, it needs to be wetted.

DIY styrofoam artificial snow
On a grater you need to grate the foam and sprinkle it with branches thatmust first be glued. Branches for this can be taken from any tree, and if you add a little glitter to the foam, the snow on the branches will sparkle beautifully. This method can be used to decorate sprawling and large branches. Snow-covered branches can be decorated with anything, such as garlands, bows, balloons, etc.
How to make artificial snow from s alt
Imitation of frost can be obtained using the most common kitchen s alt. Preference should be given to coarse grinding, so that the resulting crystals look as natural as possible. And to get the effect of colored frost, s alt can be dyed with ordinary food coloring, ink or green paint.
So, you need to pour s alt into boiling water on fire and let it dissolve completely (1 kg of s alt is taken per 1 liter of pure water). After that, lower only dry and clean branches there and leave to cool. Carefully remove the branches from the cooled saline solution and dry thoroughly. That's all. In this way, it is convenient to cover small twigs, dill umbrellas and other dried herbs with frost.
Sodium Polycarbonate Artificial Snow
Ingredients:
- sodium polycarbonate (found in diapers, similar to cotton);
- ordinary tap water;
- a container for making artificial snow.
So, cutting the diaper, we take out sodium polycarbonate. Then pour it into a container and add a little water. Mix thoroughly. Water must be added until our diaper filling, that is, sodium polycarbonate, becomeslooks like real snow. The most important thing is not to overdo it with water.
In order for our artificial snow to be cold, you just need to put it in the refrigerator. Here you should pay attention to the temperature, which should not be below zero, otherwise it will turn out not snow, but ice. If these conditions are met, everything should work out!
You can also make colorful snow with your own hands by adding food coloring to the container.
