Making Snow!

Attention mothers of kids in diapers! You have immediate access to all the materials needed for making snow! 

However, if you’re my age, you need to buy a couple of diapers from someone with a young child. I am writing this as I listen to the weather man and hear him predict snow for tomorrow. That kind of snow looks pretty outside, but this snow looks great inside and stays for a long time! It is less messy and looks very real.

Directions

Simply take a diaper and remove the outside covering.

Put the inside white material into a plastic bag. Just add water ( it can take quite a bit of water)  Kneed it so the water goes throughout the white material and let it absorb. It doesn’t take long.


. Place “snow” on wreaths, bows, or arrange around a candle. Be careful  and don’t place it directly on wood as it contains moisture! After it has dried out, simply put back into a plastic bag, add water,  and it will be like new again.

When the snow dries out, it still looks fine so I leave it. When the decorations come down, I pick off the dried snow, put in a plastic bag, add water and place it in the freezer for next year. Otherwise, discard the used material and simply start over next year! Simple, isn’t it?

One precaution:

Do not place “snow” on wood. The water in the material will leave a water mark on certain surfaces.

Here’s hoping you have a “white” Christmas!
