Most people adore falling snow, the way it decorates the surrounding nature, having lost its cover of leaves. This creates a kind of fabulous atmosphere, and any holiday during this period becomes brighter and lighter. But how to transfer such beauty home, to kindergarten, school? And many are wondering: how to make artificial snowballs?

DIY snowballs

In fact, there is nothing complicated here. Absolutely all age categories of the family can participate in the production, but why reveal the secrets of magic to kids? What are snowballs made of? Easiest as source material take cotton. It is relatively cheap, can absorb liquid substances, take on arbitrary shapes, and, of course, matches in color.

Therefore, we go to the store: we buy starch and silver sequins. We buy cotton wool in the pharmacy: synthetic will the best choice, because it is more fluffy and has a lower density and weight compared to cotton. Now we will describe a rather simple way to make snowballs from cotton wool:

You can independently control the size of lumps and their number. You can also use multi-colored sequins. In a similar way, you can create small snowmen by decorating them in the appropriate theme.

There are several more options for how to make snowballs with your own hands from cotton wool. For example, you need to take a small piece of our white airy material, drop a little PVA glue, roll it up so that the glue is inside. Spray the resulting ball with hairspray, preferably with sparkles.

How to make a paper snowball

Not only cotton wool can be used as a starting material. Of course, three-dimensional figures will not come out of paper, but the resulting masterpieces can be hung on windows, doors, and ceilings.

Take a sheet of thin paper, put a round plate on it, or use the possibilities of a compass. Circle the plate with a pencil and cut out the resulting circle. Fold it in half three times. Only 1/8 of the previously cut circle will remain in front of you. Apply the drawing you like (they can be found on the Internet) and cut out the inside, expand it. The resulting snowflakes can be decorated with various varnishes or watercolors.

These are just a few of the simplest ways to make a snowball with your own hands. Syntipon, foil, coffee filters can also be used as starting material. From the resulting snowflakes, you can make wreaths, applications, drawings. Here you only need to turn on your imagination and catch a wave of fabulous mood. Dare!

Scrap materials are the ideal and environmentally friendly option for making snow.

Winter beautiful time Therefore, the house should be as beautiful as the street.

Do-it-yourself snow from diapers

Who would have thought that in the production of diapers, products are used that could resemble real snow.

So, if you no longer have small children and you, in fact, do not need diapers, you can buy a small pack exclusively for artificial snow.

Also, pharmacies offer piece diapers, which can be bought at least in a single version.

To create snow with your own hands, you will need the following materials:

diapers in any quantity;
water (plain, not purified);
knife or scissors;
a container where snow will be created (perhaps a basin).

Artificial snow is easy to make, just cut the diapers and gut their contents.

We consider content that is designed to absorb moisture. All this must be mixed well with water, but it is important not to overdo it with its addition.

If you doubt that enough water has been added, you can wait.

See if the “snow” is too thick. If it is hard and does not look like a real snowball, you can add more water and mix again.

Water can be poured several times - there are no restrictions on this.

You can use the resulting snow with your own hands for decoration, as well as for games. For example, if you buy a lot of diapers, it is even possible to make a snowdrift, which is suitable not only on the eve new year holidays but even in summer. Of course, artificial snow from diapers will not melt.

Do-it-yourself artificial snow from cotton wool

Artificial snow can decorate the house, and the Christmas tree.

You can’t bring real snow home, but an artificial piece of winter in the house will pleasantly please the guys.

To create snow from cotton wool, we need:

Evenly distribute the snow along the entire length of the thread and let it dry for several hours.

An interesting option decoration of windows with such a garland, walls and doorways.

DIY snow from salt

If you want the artificial snow to be colored, you can add dyes, brilliant green or ink to the salt.

To use dyes or other tinting materials, it is necessary to pour 1 kilogram of salt with 2 liters of water.

Dip snowflakes or other crafts into the resulting solution and leave for several hours.

DIY artificial snow from glue

If you have wood glue, you can lightly wet it. However, you should do it like this:

tie the bag tightly;
wet the contents of the bag with water, but so that the water does not flow from it in a stream. It is important not to skimp on water - it should be in moderation;
after the bag becomes denser, when you realize that its contents have dried up, you can tear the product, and inside there will be something that looks like snow.

Of course, you can’t eat it, but otherwise such a snowball will not harm anyone - this is absolutely eco-friendly material which will fit if required , installed at home or on the street.

Do-it-yourself snow from foam

A snowball can also be made from foam. How much of this material you have, so much snow will turn out, but even a large amount of it will not harm your health - polystyrene foam does not emit harmful substances, it is environmentally friendly and safe.

However, simply breaking the foam is not enough. It is recommended to rub it on a grater so that the chips are as small as possible.

Such artificial snow is pleasant to the touch, looks beautiful and gentle, and most importantly, it will look natural on the surface of the Christmas tree.

But how to make the snow stick to the branches?

It is enough just to grease them with glue and sprinkle with white shavings. Of course, a lot of chips will not stick to the glue, so repeating the procedure may still be required.

The top layers should be done especially carefully for a more natural look. appearance Christmas trees.

By the way, foam chips can be made and.

To do this, a ball is taken, possibly paper or plastic, lubricated with glue and covered with chips. Beforehand, to get a shiny toy, you can add dry nail polish to the small foam.

Artificial snow made from soap and toilet paper

Making snow with your own hands from soap and paper is easy. Why toilet paper? It is softer and thinner. Perfect option- purchase of a white roll, but most are produced in gray.

Take a saucer that can be put in the microwave. Put white soap on it, and on top unfolded in layers toilet paper.

All this must be folded into a microwave oven and heated at a temperature of 100 degrees for one minute.

After you remove the saucer from the device, grind all its contents to obtain a homogeneous mass. At the same time, in the process of rubbing, you need to add one glass of warm water, and later, if this was not enough, you can add a little more water (about half a glass).

With such snow it is easy to make original snowmen and other crafts out of it.

You can also make artificial snow with your own hands from sugar. Such a tasty and edible decoration will appeal to children, but it is important to explain that you cannot do this with all the snow, eating it.
