Nothing better than a snowy tree to get in the mood of Christmas.
Besides, the kids love it and Santa Claus too!
But don't bother buying an artificial snow bomb to make fake snow for the tree!
It's quite expensive and not at all natural...
Luckily, there is a quick and easy trick for making homemade artificial snow on the tree with the kids.
The trick is to spray hairspray on the tree and then sprinkle baking soda on it . Watch:
- 1 packet of bicarbonate
- lacquer
- an old sheet
1. Spread the sheet under the tree.
2. Spray the hairspray on the branches of the tree.
3. Sprinkle the baking soda on the branches.
There you go, you have bleached your beautiful Christmas tree naturally :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Thanks to your homemade artificial snow, your tree is now covered in snow!
A thin layer of white powder delicately covers the branches of the tree. It feels very natural and magical.
Now all you have to do is decorate your Christmas tree.
It is ideal for snowing up a Christmas tree that is not too big or a few fir branches for the decoration of your Christmas table.
You can also snow the tips of the branches of a large tree for a natural and original decoration.
This snow is much more natural than the one you buy in stores.
And it's always interesting with animals that chew everything or children and babies.
In addition, it is much more economical.
Do you also have a Christmas crib at home?
So it's perfect if you want to make a little snow carpet for your nativity scene.
The baking soda stays in place, thanks to the hairspray. It also works very well to make a small layer of snow on your decorations or your figurines.
- This method also works by replacing hairspray with water. For example, wet your window panes or your nursery with a spray filled with water and sprinkle baking soda on it. The powder then settles on the area. Magical, isn't it?
- Once you have finished decorating the tree, don't forget to remove the sheet. You can shake it outside or collect the baking soda that falls on it to make Santa's footprints!
- You can also take the sheet and put it directly in the washing machine with the rest of the detergent. Your laundry will only be cleaner!
By diffusing the lacquer on the branches, we add a sticky and transparent homogeneous surface on the branches of the fir tree.
Thanks to this ingenious little process, the baking soda adheres easily to different surfaces without the powder dissipating.
This makes a light veil of snow on the branches of the fir tree.
