How to Make a Snowstorm
comments (54) December 7th, 2013
A friend of mine visiting from the tropics wanted, more than anything, to see snow. Unfortunately, he was visiting during the Thanksgiving holiday when snow in New York (while not impossible) is unlikely. Not wanting to disappoint him, I set to work on "approximating" the effect. As is my rule around the holidays, the project had to be simple, inexpensive, and fun.
So, in contrast to my chandelier post, I offer a low-skill, high-impact project sure to surprise your guests (and your family) and help put you in the spirit of the season (regardless of whether the weather is cooperating).

Simple labels (1-inch circles) and some dental floss is all you need to make a winter wonderland. |

Attach the dental floss to the adhesive side of a label. |

Place a second label over the top of the first, sandwiching the dental floss between the two. |
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!
Post your project in the gallery

I have to admit that your snowstorm idea actually caused me to start AND finish a project which is pretty rare! I used paper labels in different colors and foil stars with monofilament to make a confetti-star snow storm. My results are beautiful and so cheerful. To put the finishing touch, I want to modge-podge (or something similar, when I figure it out...!!!) the end result to give it some weight help the colors stay bright. Thanks again!

In addition to the dots, I think I'm going to add some shisha mirrors also just to add a bit of sparkle!
AWESOME project!

Just think, how beautiful for someone stuck in a hospital to hang these in the room somewhere! Almost 'magical'!

Thanks for sharing.
btw. Snow could be made out of make-up-remover-pads as well. But more messy to glue I reckon.
