In order to brighten the holiday waiting for the holiday, as well as reminded to colleagues that the coming year promises new perspectives, we suggest to decorate the workplace. Also, the New Year Craft "Branch in the Snow" from salt is quite suitable for decorating the apartment. Such a twig in a vase, decorated with New Year's toys, will look beautiful on the windowsill or table.

It is necessary to highlight about two hours to create the original composition. With a white branch, the breath of the snowy winter will become expressive, despite the fact that the rain window and gray asphalt.

The branch in the snow out of salt is made as follows:

We find a test sample.

In the dishes (saucepan, kettle) we fall asleep 4-4.5 tablespoons of the food salt. Take hot water in the amount of 0.5 liters. We stir the contents of the dishes to the state of a strong solution and the inability of the crystals dissolve.

Tara put on the stove, put a cut branch into the liquid and boil. The lid "filth" is not necessary to cover, water should evaporate.

When the solution acquires a sour cream-like consistency, the future New Year's branch in the snow gently takes out and put a bit in a secluded place.

We do not spend the time for nothing, prepare the vase. We offer for this purpose to use a glass glass or a beautiful wide steady glass. We are looking for a piece of tinsel or fluffy garland, we collect chestnuts, beads, buttons and fill the glass that the branch is secure in it might fix. You can also fill the container with multi-colored sea salt, putting it with layers.

We put the New Year's branch in the snow from salt to the vase surrounding the garland. Caps from Christmas balls, buttons and other small objects decorate the snow branch. Also can go into the course of miniature toys carved from paper or other materials and other New Year's crafts made by their own hands.

Attention! Fully salt snow will dry only after 24 hours and the result will be visible.

Snow hot summer? Impossible - you say. And we will reply that knowing chemistry is possible. Moreover, get this indispensable winter attribute easier than simple. Today we will tell how to make artificial snow from diapers. The resulting snow can be used as a festive decor, replacing a banal wool.

How to make artificial snow from diaper

We dare to assume that if you are interested in chemical experiments for children, then children, and, therefore, and diapers in your family are already available. Therefore, it remains for small - make artificial snow from diaper.

Carefully cut the diaper and remove the package similar to the usual wool from it. Then try to crush it as much as possible. After that, we put our small pieces of packing into a deep bowl, and even better to take a basin, and we begin to slowly add cold water. During this process, the mixture is vigorously. On your eyes wet lump "Wat" will turn into a snowball! Madrid until artificial snow from the diaper will be indistinguishable from the present. But in contrast to him, our snow does not melt. It is important not to overdo it with the amount of water - otherwise there is a risk of getting an ugly gray mass, so it is very important to pour water very slowly. When visually artificial snow from the diaper will satisfy you, then you can put it for a while in the refrigerator (not in the freezer!). So he will become more believable.

Important addition. In no case do not allow children to try the resulting snow to taste and all the more swallow! Polyacrylate is not as safe that it can be. Yes, and when preparing artificial snow, it is also better to use rubber gloves in order to care the skin of the hands. Well, probably will be superfluous to add that for the manufacture you should use only a new and unused diaper. 🙂

What happened

The thing is that modern diapers are not filled with cotton, but by a special absorbent - sodium polyacrylate. The absorbent is any substance capable of absorbing any other substances, such as water. The same sodium polyacrylate is able to absorb moisture 30 times more than its masses!

When the water is added, the fiber filler swell and visually become similar to snow crystals. By the way, you can grow crystal with your own hands.

Real snow can be brought from the street, put in a basin and pamper children. But this magic will last long because it melts in minutes. To decorate the Christmas tree, window sills, candles and other details, artificial snow can be used, which is easily done at home. In some cases, it can even sculpt snowballs. We collected for you the best collection of ways to prepare artificial attributes. Consider all options in more detail.

Candles and Talc

For the production of dry snow, prepare glitter (preferably gold, silver, blue or pearl). Also, set the kitchen cooler, the children's talc without fragrances (powder), several paraffin candles of white.

Place the candle in the refrigerator for half an hour or in the freezer for 10-15 minutes so that it froze well. After the expiration of the time, soda it on the cooler of a small section. To create a flickering effect, add small blades to chips (color at your discretion).

The resulting composition does not leave the traces, does not dissolve in water and does not change the form when contacting it. As a rule, artificial snow of this kind is used to decorate the New Year's balls and trees, murals of windows and window sills.

Styrofoam

The easiest and widespread way to make artificial snow at home. To do this, remove a piece of foam in a box from under household appliances or electronics (they have less granules). Put the layer on a flat surface, take the plug and begin to drive it intensively to back. As a result of the "grain" will disappear, you need to collect them as accumulation.

In most cases, artificial snow based on foam looks unfulstly. It is used to decorate fir branches, directly the spruce itself / Christmas trees, window sills, murals of balls and their filling, creating fine hails and clappers.

Paper towels (toilet paper)

Take white paper towels or toilet paper, burst into small pieces. Grind in the crumb in a convenient way white natural soap, place the composition on the bottom of the ceramic or glass container. Placing pieces of paper / towels on top.

Put a bowl into the microwave for 30-45 seconds, follow the condition of paper fibers. They should become more fluffy and raised. Soap, in turn, will gain a softer and fuel consistency.

After the expiration, you get the composition, pour some filtered water and mix everything with a fork. Put in the refrigerator for 3 minutes, then repeat again.

It is from such snow that you can sculpt mini snowmen, play snowballs, decorate any surfaces and items.

Eggshell

Cook a few eggs with a white (not red) shell. Clean them, remove the films. Place in a dense polyethylene package, put on a solid surface and grind the rolling pin into powder. When the shell is ready, you can mix it with glitter, and then proceed to the scenery. Artificial snow is attached to PVA glue to sprigs of ate / tree, they decorate windows, creating various drawings. The composition is used to embed transparent Christmas balls.

Children's diapers

No matter how strange it sounds, but artificial snow can be made from disposable pellery or white-colored diapers. The thing is that such attributes absorb moisture due to the sodium polyacrylate contained in the composition. In the swelling state, the drug looks like a real snow.

To properly execute the procedure, pull out a package similar to cotton from diapers / pellery. Run it on very little particles, then put in a deep bowl. Start slowly pouring cold purified water and at the same time knead the resulting mixture with your hands. In the end, you will get a decoration that is difficult to distinguish from real snow. The attribute is used to create snowballs, snowmen, festive decorations involving peculiar snowdrifts.

Food Soda and Shaving Foam

Spend the soda into a small bottle, so that it is convenient to mix it with other components. In the deep container, squeeze the bottle with foam and simultaneously suck the soda, then mix immediately. Act with breaks: Survised, mixed, suited again. On 1 cylinder foam there are one and a half packs of soda. When mixing is suitable for an end, send the composition to the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Then get it out and add blades for decoration. A feature of this method is that the finished snow smells frosty freshness if you choose a foam with the appropriate aroma.

Polyethylene

Very often, the hostesses use pipple polyethylene, which are wrapped with household appliances during transportation for better maintenance of cargo. Take 1 square. m. Material, twist it in a tight tube, then soda on a grater with small divisions. Connect the resulting air mass with pearl blasts, add 3-5 packatures of potato starch and a little filtered water. Mix up until the composition becomes homogeneous.

After that, dry it on the battery or under the right sunlight. Shot a little with a fork, then proceed to the scenery. Very natural and natural composition looks on fluffy artificial Christmas tree and natural seals. To properly attach artificial snow, lubricate the processed area of \u200b\u200bthe PVA, and then sprinkle it.

Toothpaste

The method is more suitable for spraying on the windows, mirrors, balls, tree. As a rule, a stencil is superimposed on the surface, moistened in water for better adhesion. After that, empties are filled with snowclosures. It is necessary to spray extremely gently, because the drops are scattered in different directions. Purchase the cheapest white toothpaste without colored granules. Issimate half the tube into the container, pize a little filtered water so that the composition becomes more liquid, creamy. Lower the toothbrush into it, send it to that object you want to process. Spend your finger on the bristle up and release to the splashes formed the specks on the subject.

Starch and soap

Stit on the grate of a small section of a white soap bar, mix it with 3 bags of potato or corn starch. Boil 200-250 ml. Water, pour steep boiling water into the composition, then beat the mixture with a wedge, forks or a mixer before the formation of thick foam.

To make snowballs take the ball from the foam, plunge it into the mixture and dry on the battery. If you want to decorate the composition of the window or branches of the tree, it is enough to swing the toothbrush in the snow and the fluxing movements cover the surface. You can dry the mixture, and then it is necessary to smoke it if the snow is needed in powder form.

Salt

Very popular recently became New Year's wreaths, decorated with artificial snow. Also, many people do not put fir, and decorate the room with its individual branches. As a result, you get a kind of mine. To proceed with the procedure, take the enameled saucepan, pour 5 liters of water into it and add 2 packs of cook salt. Put a saucepan on fire, stir and heat up until the composition is dissolved. When it happens, turn off the plate, put the branch in the container and wait 4-6 hours. During this time, salt is absorbed into the needles and forms the original snow crust. At the end of the term, remove the branches and leave them to dry by half an hour.

Edible artificial snow

Experienced hostesses indulge their children with artificial edible snow. They can be decorated with a festive table, in particular, New Year's, just to show fantasy and perseverance. To give baking, fruit salads or other desserts magic, it is enough to pour them with air cream and sprinkle with powdered sugar. For the second dishes, a boiled chicken squirrel is suitable on a grater.

It is easy to make artificial snow at home, if you are in service with various ways. Take advantage of polyethylene, foam, egg shell, toothpaste, a mixture of foam for shaving and food soda, paraffin candles and a talc. Treat children with edible magic with sugar powder and cream.
