The winter decoration will be complete if snow covers everything outside. Unfortunately, the weather can’t be affected, snowing might frequently missing. There are more possibilities for faux snow decoration in our home. It’s true, this will be inside but it creates perfect mood for the festive decor.
Faux snow is available in shops. It looks like a pile of small plastic splinters. It is shiny, reflects light almost as a prism. Instant faux snow is a much better version than this. This is a dry material which rises hundredfold connecting with water but it isn’t wet to feel. Sometimes water has to be sprinkled on it keeping the faux snowy look. At the end of the season it just has to be dried and can be stored for the next year.
More natural materials can be used for the proper sight also. The simplest solution is the large grain salt and granulated sugar. Although it is not practical to disperse them on the floor but they look good in varied storages with decorations. They shouldn’t be connected with water.
The 1:1 mix of shaving foam and baking soda produces a well-formable and cool-to-touch material from which even a mini snowman can be built. It can be a great fun for kids.
Cotton wool and wad are frequently used as faux snow. If the weather is dry, they can be placed outdoor also. The patio can be covered with it, potted plants can be put around or „snowballs” can be formed from it as well.
Let’s put some torn white textile coffee filters or paper hand towels in the blender and cut them up. The result will be a medium long fibred, light and spreadable material. Maybe it’s a bit harder to clean it up after the feasts but it’s worth the look.
Real snow can be replaced with many more materials (e.g. bath salt, faux snow spray, tiny polystyrene balls, soap gratings). All of them look different, will have different effect on the decoration, but the winter mood can be achieved this way also.
