Children love snow. From it you can sculpt snowballs, make snowmen and build fortresses. Snow is an invariable attribute of the Christmas tree and the New Year. Unfortunately, the magic of snow does not last long, and at home, in warmth, it quickly melts. Artificial snow comes to the rescue, made with my own hands from those materials that can be found in every home. He is not afraid of heat, and with this material you can decorate a Christmas tree, complete crafts, or even make a snowman right in the room.
Styrofoam
The easiest way (and one of the most common) is to make snow from Styrofoam. Even a child can handle it! A piece of styrofoam (you can find it in the box from household appliances) just breaks into small grains.
Polyethylene
Foam analogue - polyethylene film, which is also used in product packaging. Making snow from it is simple: you need to roll the film into a tight tube, and then grate it on a fine grater.
The resulting air mass is mixed with glitter and potato starch (3-5 bags) and water. When the composition becomes homogeneous, it must be dried on a battery.
Soap
For the manufacture of artificial snow white soap is taken. It is necessary to grate it on a fine or medium grater, then mix with baby powder. Snow is ready! It looks just like the real thing and smells good too.
Advice
Instead of a bar of soap, you can use a candle white color.
Shaving foam and soda
Great homemade snow is made from shaving foam and baking soda. They need to be mixed in a ratio of 1.5: 1 (one and a half packs of soda per foam can). The ingredients are gradually and simultaneously poured into a deep container, thoroughly mixed. You can add glitter. The mixture should cool in the refrigerator for 5-7 minutes, after which it is ready for use. You can make real snowballs out of foam and soda snow.
Eggshell
Do not rush to throw away the white eggshell after cooking. After removing the films, you need to place the shells in a tight bag, put on a hard surface and grind with a rolling pin. The resulting powder can be mixed with glitter for beauty.
Diapers
Unbelievable but true: snow can be made from baby diapers. Each contains a unique material inside: sodium polyacrylate, the main property of which is to absorb liquid 200 and even 300 times its own weight. It is from sodium polyacrylate that artificial snow is produced, which can be bought at the store.
To create snow, you need to cut the diapers with scissors, remove the contents, pour into a container and slowly pour water into it, stirring the contents. The sodium polyacrylate should absorb the liquid.
Ready artificial snow should be similar to the real one both externally and to the touch. After mixing, the mass will be placed in the refrigerator for a while, and then create and enjoy the process.
snow from diapers
Toilet paper
Toilet paper, paper towels or tissues (all must be white) are torn into small pieces. The grated soap is placed in a glass or ceramic container, followed by a layer of paper.
The bowl is placed in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Paper fibers after heat treatment become fluffy, rise, and the soap softens.
A little water is added to the mass, everything is thoroughly mixed and left in the refrigerator for 3 minutes. After that, the snow needs to be crushed again. From the resulting snow, you can sculpt whatever your heart desires.

For crafts with children, interior decoration or for decorating festive dishes, it is often necessary to create a snowy effect. Artificial snow is sold in bottles and in bulk, but the prices for it are almost like oil. To financial side the question did not limit the creative, we offer to make snow on our own.
Recipe #1
Ingredients:
- foamed polyethylene (used as a packaging material for equipment, glass; shoe inserts) or foam;
- small grater.
Work with gloves so that the snow does not stick to your hands. Grind polyethylene or polystyrene on a grater (with a stick, fork). Voila! Fluffy flakes are now all over the house. To make the snow even sparkle, add sparkles.
If you want to powder specific objects with such a snowball, grease the surface with PVA liquid glue. Toddlers like to crush the foam with their hands, watch how it sticks to their fingers. Do not deprive them of this joy, especially since such an activity remarkably develops fine motor skills. If the foam consists of large solid balls, it is not necessary to rub it on a grater, you can manually break it into small crumbs.
Recipe #2
Ingredients:
- the remains of dried polymer clay (plastic).
Needlewomen often have the remains of polymer clay, which is a pity to throw away. If you grind it with your hands, and then with a coffee grinder, you get a light and multi-colored (when using colored clay) snowball. Such artificial snow can be used to decorate postcards and other hand-made products.
Recipe #3
Ingredients:
- coarse salt;
- water.
Fill a saucepan with a little water and place over low heat. Add salt until it no longer dissolves. Dip the plants (beautifully curved tree branches, spruce or pine legs with cones) into the hot solution and leave for a day. Sparkling frost is guaranteed! If you add brilliant green, food coloring or ink to the salt solution, then the frost will turn out to be colored! Plants treated in this way look beautiful in winter bouquets and for a long time do not lose their attractiveness.
Recipe #4
Ingredients:
– white baby soap or a candle.
Rub the soap (candle) on a fine grater. If you mix such snow with talc (baby powder), then it is quite possible to decorate a children's craft, drawing. Another option is to use such snow to make toys "a la snowball”, when glycerin and artificial snow are added to the water (you can also use sparkles or finely chopped rain). The container is hermetically sealed and when shaken, the snow falls smoothly to the bottom.
Recipe number 5
Ingredients:
- semolina.
Semolina can perfectly imitate snow on postcards or children's drawings. Apply glue to the place that needs to be covered with snow and sprinkle with semolina. Shake off the rest after drying. Instead of semolina, you can glue crystals of sea salt.

For example, flowers of pear, apple, cherry, rose, violet, primrose, lemon, begonia, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, pansies. Candied leaves of mint, lemon balm, geranium are obtained beautiful and very fragrant. Dissolve 12 g of gum arabic with constant stirring in ¼ cup of hot water (in a water bath). Cool the solution. Prepare sugar syrup: 100 g of sugar in ¼ cup of water. Also cool. On plants, apply with a brush first a solution of gum arabic, and then sugar syrup. Sprinkle with fine granulated sugar (but not powdered). Dry on parchment paper or tracing paper. Such "snowy" beauty will not deteriorate for several months. With these flowers you can decorate a birthday cake or your favorite pies.

Recipe #13
Ingredients:
- beer;
- magnesium or urea.
Real frosty patterns can be made on glasses if you apply a solution of beer and magnesia (sold in a pharmacy). Wash and dry the glass. Dissolve 50 g of magnesia or urea in 1/2 cup of light beer and apply to glass. You can use a brush, sponge or cotton swab. When applied, mimic frosty "feathers" and swirls. When the liquid begins to dry out, crystals will begin to appear on the glass, similar to real frost patterns. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying of the glass. This solution is easily washed off window panes. You can decorate glass very beautifully in interior doors or on the platform in the entrance.
Recipe #14
Ingredients:
- PVA glue;
- powdered sugar.
In order to write congratulations or draw pictures on glass, you can use regular glue and powdered sugar. Apply the design with a brush or stencil and dust with powder. The only negative is that the pattern can “float” if condensation accumulates on the glass. Having decorated the glass with frosty stains, do not forget about the window sill.
Recipe #15
Ingredients:
- water;
- sodium hyposulfite.
Don't let sodium hyposulfite scare you, you can find it in photography stores or chemical supply stores. It is also called sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate (this is a photographic fixer). Dissolve 30–40 g of sodium hyposulfite in half a glass of water and apply the mixture to the glass. Wait for it to dry. The crystals are dense, white, opaque.
Which of the recipes to use - decide for yourself. It all depends on what you need snow for, what effect you want to achieve. Sometimes it’s enough just to scatter (or stick) pieces of padding polyester, cotton pads, paper confetti. Sometimes you need a texture paste or fluffy small granules. Nobody canceled the old proven way of painting on glass with white gouache and toothpaste. In fact, there are a lot of options to create a truly winter mood! Do not wait for "manna from heaven", create a "snowy" mood for yourself right now!
