If you decorate an apartment and a house for New Year's holidays, then it's fun. And what could be more interesting than creating New Year crafts and decor with the effect of snow? Artificial snow on the Christmas tree, windows, glass and mirrors - literally all you want to cover a little frost. The effect of snow from a can is not a novelty, but it is not used so often yet. Whether it is worth buying artificial snow in spray cans and what to do with it afterwards, we will consider below.
Snow artificial in aerosol
Let's start with the process of selection. There is an opinion that such a decor can become a health hazard. Of course, if you buy a can in the transition for a penny, most likely at home instead of a snow-white coating you will notice a sharp chemical and obviously dangerous smell. Therefore, it is worth buying such decorations only in shops and demanding documents. Good reviews received German, Hungarian and Italian products, passing cheap Chinese goods pass without regret.
Next, touch the moment with the texture itself. Drawings of artificial snow on windows are well obtained if they are made with finely dispersed filler. You will get something similar to hoarfrost or a white coating resembling frost. If you need artificial snow for crafts, you should buy a can with "volumetric" snow, which lies on the head.
A variety of artificial snow in cans allows creating original ornaments on glass and mirrors. In the range there are shades of not only white, but also beautiful silvery, golden and even bronze crystals. Some firms produce snow that glows in the dark.
How to use artificial snow?
So, you've got a couple of cans and now you have to figure out how to decorate the windows and mirrors in the house. There are several techniques that are commonly used:
- Some just want to write beautiful wishes and congratulations in this way on large windows (the difficulty will be only to pick up the distance and intensity of pressing, so to speak, adjust the sharpness);
- others prefer to use ready-made templates for artificial snow, which often come complete with a can (in this performance you will get drawings from snow on the window);
- no less interesting is the result, when they take pictures simply, glue them on the window and cover the whole of its plane (this time the whole window will be covered with hoarfrost, and the drawing is not just painted over);
- to get the most believable drawings with artificial snow on the windows, when some of the glass is covered with hoarfrost and wipe a small island (there is a feeling that you breathed on the frozen window and thereby made a misted island);
- artificial snow on the tree is also a popular option (for "long-playing" it is better to use so-called melting snow, and for real ones it is possible and just white, and then, as necessary, vacuuming to remove what fell);
- some masters use such snow for homemade Christmas balls, only on top you need to apply a fixing layer, so that this beauty does not fade with time.
In the already familiar technique, you can decorate mirrors and cover them with silver or gold patterns. Also decorate glass candlesticks, even plafonds on chandeliers. If you buy products of a good manufacturer, there should be no problems with cleaning. As a rule, the snow either gradually disappears (melts) itself, or crumbles and you just need to walk around with a vacuum cleaner. The main thing is not to cover with such snowy frost living plants, and when working wear gloves and try not to breathe during spraying. If everything is done accurately and competently, and the apartment will be smart, and there will be no danger to health.
