Snow for school craft project?? please help!!?

  • ok so im doing a craft project in school and we had to make a Canadian animal out of clay and we have to make a background with it. i was thinking of putting the seal on some fake snow. what can i use to make fake snow or how can i make some that wont melt?? please help!! BEST ANSWER for the first BEST ONE out there!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~… and also, what else can i add to my project other than a seal standing in the middle of snow??

  • Answer:

    Laundry detergent powder or fine soap flakes mixed with glitter makes excellent snow. It has a great texture, too. Seals live in water, so why not have some? You can use crumpled and flattened aluminum foil with plastic wrap (blue or clear) laid over it to make cold-looking water. Put this in a corner of your scene, like the snow is at the edge of a lake. Build the snow up along its edge to hide the edge.

mix salt with white sparkles and layer on the glue. as for other stuff...dunno...maybe put a lil guy with a club in his hand sneaking up on the poor unsuspecting seal? of course, i am joking. that will probably get you into trouble.

Poof up some cotton balls and spread them out.. maybe cover with white glitter? or maybe if you're feeling more edible Parmesan cheese?

Use clear glitter (not silver)- you can get it in the craft section at Wal-Mart and it sparkles like ice and snow flakes.

Baby powder.Put down whatever glue you are using, and put baby powder down.
