Product Information

You can immediately see the difference; it’s very fluffy, I leave it alone like that for a handful of hours to dry and setup. Once it’s dry I blow off the excess and use a large brush to brush the stray flakes off the model and base rim.

I like to add a few drops of white paint into the glue as well. The reason for that is it gives the snow a vibrant white look once it’s all mixed in. Without the white paint the glue will dry mostly transparent and it gives the snow a more wet look. Nothing wrong with that, and it looks good, but it’s not what I’m after with this snow base. Choose soap bars with very little fragrance. You can also add a few drops of pine or fir essential oil , or winter fragrance oils to the mixture for an extra Christmas smell! Step 1: grate the white soap bars I use Mod Podge, which is a PVA glue that doubles as a sealer. In the U.S. you can find it at most craft stores for pretty cheap. I use the one that has a matte finish to it.Sno-Bond is also available in a few different sizes. Currently, you can buy a 2 lb box, a 5 lb box, or a 25 lb box. If you wanted larger snow piles then just repeat these previous steps. Do a first layer, let it dry, then add another layer on top and just keep building it up.

You can use any PVA glue you like. I just like Mod Podge because I can get a big container, and it has the sealing component to it for other projects I use it for. PVA glue is something that every hobbyist should have on hand. Some types of pine cones have more porous surface than others. I find that it is much better to use methods in this tutorial when you are using more absorbent pine cones – 3 best ways to make snow covered pine cones. How long can you store homemade fake snow mixture. You can see the wetness of the glue in these shots. If you aren’t after a fluffy snow look then you could stop here, and this is where the finish of the Mod Podge would matter. I don’t have any finished shots of what this would look like, but from experience I can say it would dry very much like you see it but without the wet look to it; at least with the matte version of Mod Podge I’m using.All these ( branches, Christmas tree and berries ) took less than 1/4 of a 3 oz soap bar.
