Today, there are many ways to make artificial snow with your own hands. Here, for example, you can grate a candle or white soap on a fine grater and mix together with baby powder.
You can also get artificial snow from foamed polyethylene (packaging for breakable items), which also rubs on a fine grater. The most common sugar is used to decorate the edges of glasses and glasses. 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, you need to wet it. The most optimal
way to make snow with your own hands is chosen depending on what this artificial snow will be used for and what degree of safety is right for you.
By the New Year (to decorate the house with snowy twigs), artificial snow is made of polystyrene foam. Hoarfrost can be made from salt crystals.
Do-it-yourself artificial snow foam
On a grater, you need to rub the foam and sprinkle with it branches, which must first be spread with glue. Branches for this can be taken from any tree, and if you add a little sparkle to the foam, then the snow on the branches will beautifully sparkle. This method can be used to decorate spreading and large branches. Snow-covered branches can be decorated with anything, for example, a garland, bows, balls, etc.
How to make artificial snow from salt
Imitation of hoarfrost can be obtained using the most common kitchen salt. Coarse grinding should be preferred so that the resulting crystals look as natural as possible. And to get the effect of colored hoarfrost, salt can be dyed with ordinary food colors, ink or green paint.
So, in boiling water over a fire, you need to pour salt and let it completely dissolve (1 kg of salt is taken per 1 liter of pure water). After that, put only dry and clean twigs there and leave to cool. Carefully remove twigs from the cooled brine and dry thoroughly. That's all. In this way, it is convenient to cover with hoarfrost small size twigs, dill umbrellas and other dried herbs.
Sodium Polycarbonate Artificial Snow
Ingredients:
- sodium polycarbonate (found in diapers, similar to cotton);
- ordinary tap water;
- capacity for the preparation of artificial snow.
So, cutting the diaper, we get sodium polycarbonate. Then pour it into the container and add a little water. Mix thoroughly. Water needs to be added until our diaper filling, i.e. sodium polycarbonate, looks like real snow. The most important thing is not to go too far with water.
In order for our artificial snow to be cold, you just need to put it in a refrigerator. Here you should pay attention to the temperature, which should not be lower than zero, otherwise it will turn out not snow, but ice. Under these conditions, everything should work out!
In this way, you can also make colorful snow with your own hands by adding food coloring to the container.
