Making Fake Snow

RE: Making Fake Snow Post By game (Guest Post) (11/30/2007) go to this website buy the stuff and just add water http://www.vat19.com/dvds/instasnow.cfm Request: Making Fake Snow Post by Stew_Admin (121) | (11/28/2007) Contact I want to know how I can make cheap fake snow for a tv comercial. Someone is going to hold it in his hands, so it has to look very real but it can not be ice because it will be shot in a dessert in the Dominican Republic. I need ideas. Thank you, Giselle Answers: RE: Making Fake Snow Try instant mashed potato flakes. They will drift through the air, and you could experiment with mixing up the potatoes to different consistencies to form snow balls.

You could put it on your tree, or wherever you wanted "snow". (01/08/2007) By Jennifer RE: Making Fake Snow The stuff you buy in the fabric store for stuffing pillows might work. Or maybe shaving cream. (01/08/2007) RE: Making Fake Snow Thank you, I will try your ideas, I think the Ivory Flakes Soap might work cause I need something that would let me do whatever I want with the "snow". (01/08/2007) RE: Making Fake Snow I heard somewhere when they were discussing using snow in a commercial that using shredded plastic, white of course...like white garbage bags, try a "shredder " to shred paper to see if it gives you what you want...just a thought ?) (01/09/2007) By jeanne RE: Making Fake Snow My mother and I used to make candles to achieve a snow effect we would melt paraffin wax and an use an egg beater while it was cooling, for a sparkle effect we would use a shimmer glitter in the cooling process while using the the egg beater. Also using by grating it after gives "flakes" of snow that glimmer in the light. (01/14/2007) By easycrafter RE: Making Fake Snow Hi! I'm also looking for ways to make snow! I'm decorating a hall (and outside the hall) for my Yr 13 Ball... I'm the Chairperson of the Student Council and have got stuck with making the snow! lol any ideas would be greatly appreciated (our ball is in July so its cold then anyway!) (04/29/2007) By Dana RE: Making Fake Snow Try Sodium Polyacrylate. (A.K.A, a powder that turns into fake snow). Just mix with water and BOOM instant snow! (11/21/2007) RE: Making Fake Snow In studio photographers pay top dollar for shredded Styrofoam. You could always collect your own scraps and shred them yourself. (11/24/2007) Request: Making Fake Snow Post by moderator (1134) | (01/06/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact I read somewhere about using joint compound for "fake snow".Does anyone have info on this.This stuff you buy is so expensive. And I use a lot of it. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks, Anita from Pritchett, TX Answers: RE: Making Fake Snow I don't know what you are using the fake snow for so this may not work for you; I used the canned spray foam insulation for what I needed and then painted it with white craft paint. I was able to form what looked like snowdrifts and the foam expands as you spray it. This was for a permanent craft so I wouldn't recommend it for something temporary. (12/01/2006) By Persnickety Paula RE: Making Fake Snow I've heard that you'd make it up a bit thinner than usual and use electric beaters to "whip" it up. (12/01/2006) By Cyinda RE: Making Fake Snow If you go to www.google.com and type in... "using joint compound for fake snow" there will be all kinds of ideas. I have seen it used just to coat styrofoam balls in to make them look textured. I hope this helps. (12/01/2006) By Michele
