- In today's video I want to show you how you can make your own snow to use in crafts. Only two ingredients you need are baking soda and mod podge, glitter is optional. This is so easy and can be modified in so many ways. Let me know what you think. Hugs, Joanne

Our forecaster says we will not have snow this Jan in southern VA, so for those who yearn for it, they can make up some of your snow and pretend! This is a great project. Thanks for sharing.
The day I uploaded the video we were supposed to have had some flurries, I didn't see any though. Hugs, Joanne
That is the sweetest little ice skating rink I've ever seen!
Thank you so much Linda! Hugs, Joanne
Hi Joann a very interesting project.A way to make snow, that’s fantastic.Sometimes on surfaces where there’s snow, you want to enhance or make it look cleaner. It makes it look vivid and real. A very good find you’ve discovered.A ice pond with glistening snow. 👍👍❤️❤️🌹☃️☃️☃️
So glad you enjoyed this Rosemary. Hugs, Joanne
Oh Joanne this is one of the cutest DIYs I have seen you do yet!! I cannot believe how many fantastic crafts you do, and I love them all! The snow flowing over is a wonderful touch-love, love, love this project. I am so inspired by you! I found a clock today, and now I will be hunting down figurines to use for this project. And yes, I will be making one! Thank you you so much for this fun craft idea!! 😊
So glad you enjoyed this Heather. I am so excited that you found a clock and will be making a scene of your own creation in it. If you are on IG, please post it when you are finished, I would love to see it. Hugs, Joanne
I am going to tell my daughter about this, she is always doing things like this to her village. Thanks for showing this to your viewers.
Yeah, I am glad that you found this helpful. It is so easy, I hope your daughter liked it too. Hugs, Joanne
Thank you so much for sharing this !!! I am totally going to do this on my paper houses
Yeah, I just know they will come out beautifully! Hugs, Joanne
Omg Joanne so cool love this. You can use this snow on your ceramic tree 🌲 on the tips of the tree. So many possibilities with this snow . You got my brain going thank you so much 😊
Sherrie, I was thinking the same thing about using it on that tree. So glad you enjoyed this and that is got your 'brain going'. Happy crafting. Hugs, Joanne
Real pretty lake and tree and people doing things. And the snow is very nice too. 👍❤❤
Beautiful. How cute!
That’s great! I am doing some little houses that my friend made for me. Now I can put snow on the roofs. I’m glad you gave the tip about putting the glitter on top and not mixing it it. Your snow babies craft is so sweet. Thanks Joanne
Laura, make sure to do a 'test' of your snow before putting on your actual piece, that way you can make sure you have it the way you want it before putting on your good piece. Best of luck with it and have fun! Hugs, Joanne
Thanks Joanne that’s a good tip. I’m really bad for rushing to get things done and regretting my haste.🤨
@@laurasimpson2870 You and me both my friend!
I really it very nice. Thanks so much for showing us how to make snow. Love your little assemblage. So sweet
My pleasure Lynne, thank you. Hugs, Joanne
JoAnn your piece with the Snow babies turn out cute and I love the snow you did .I really want to try it.thanks for sharing it with us. God bless you and I love you and your thrift hauls and Diys.
Hi Pauline, so glad to hear you are going to give this a try. As you can see, it is so easy. Hugs, Joanne
Your fingernails are also, very pretty. 💅
Thank you Michele! Hugs, Joanne
The project came out lovely. I think will try doing project next Christmas using the technique. Thanks.
Very cool! Great idea,looks good!
Let me know if you even end up trying it, it really is so easy to make and use. Hugs, Joanne
What a great idea for snow! Love it. It’s probably cheaper than the snowtex. Thanks for sharing my friend 😘
I thought you might like this Dee. If you ever do it, I would love to know how you think it compares to Snowtex. Hugs, Joanne
Love this idea. Very clever. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Joanne wonderful diy thanks for sharing.Prayers Blessings to you and Kailtin Hugs Love Mildred!!
I am so glad you enjoyed this Mildred. Hugs and Blessings to you as well my friend. Joanne
This tutorial is very informative and much appreciated! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed this Michele. Hugs, Joanne
That was very interesting, thank you for sharing that trick with us, your subject was very cute.
So cute Joanne. Love the idea of using the mold as a base and thank you for sharing this great tip. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you so much. I love you ideas♥️ Making dollar tree houses of my mom's favorite fabric I found this year. We lost her unexpectedly. I will show you a picture. Thank I made it with cornstarch bc no baking soda,white arctic paint and Modge Podge.
Amy, I am so sorry that you lost your mom. I know how painful that is. So glad you enjoyed the DIY snow. Hugs.
@@batthriftcrazy1959 Thank you for you kind words💕.have a happy and healthy holiday season & 2023. I send a pic of the ornament when done. Hugs from Michigan 🤗
Definitely trying this for an upcoming project
Great Joanna. I hope it works for you and have fun with your project. Hugs.
Hello, I am about to try this. I am doing a picture of Santa and I want to use this on his beard with a touch of white glitter on it. I plan to use it for snow in some of the pictures that I am doing. Thank you so much for sharing your technique with us.
That sounds wonderful. I hope it works for you and have fun. Hugs.
You are so creative....great video👍
Definitely going to try that, thank you 😊
Good luck. It lasts a good long while and is pretty easy. Hugs.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
I've never seen this done, I think it really comes out nice, I love the texture and will definitely be trying this. Your skating rink is adorable. : )
Glad you found this helpful and are going to give it a try. Hugs, Joanne
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TIP!!!! JUST AWESOME!!!! HUGS!!!
So glad you liked it Kathy, let me know if you give it a try. Hugs, Joanne
@@batthriftcrazy1959 Will do sweat friend!!! Love my YANKEY candle set up. It's on my Kitchen table burning right. It's got ceramic tile on top so BO WORRIES!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!
Beautiful
Adorable 😍
Great idea. And yes I'm going to try it
Great, let me know how it turns out for you Tammi. Hugs, Joanne
Thanks for doing this video looks great.
Glad you enjoyed it Donna. Hugs, Joanne
Very nice.
That looks more like 1/2 tablespoon, but it doesn't really matter since it's equal parts. I have to fix a base for a Santa figurine (next year, it's packed away) so this will do it. Thank you so much, Joanne.
I was thinking the same thing lol
Yep, you are right equal parts or if you want the snow thicker, 1 part mod podge to 1 1/2 parts baking soda. So glad you enjoyed. Hugs, Joanne
Cool 😎 thank you 😊
I love it!
Thank you Penny. Hugs, Joanne
Im so excited about this. Im wanting to build my own Christmas village and had been thinking of how i would do snow. Thank you for sharing. Live your little pond
So glad that you found this helpful and are going to give it a try. Have fun!! Hugs, Joanne
Brilliant
Cool!
You do some of the cutest diy’s. Thank you for the snow making tip, sounds so easy and looks great.
Thank you so much Mary! Hugs, Joanne
Adorable and thank you for the snow “recipe”.
Fantastic Joanne! Such a cool little assemblage, a great way to use snow babies👍😊
Oh Joanne ..I never would of come up with that idea...it turned out fantastic. ...I'm definitely gonna try this one...looks so easy...thanks...hugs..
It really is very easy Tracy. So glad you enjoyed it. Hugs, Joanne
That's so adorable Joann! And to make the snow is so easy. Great DIY!!😀
Thanks for sharing this idea Joanne....love you little rink scene. I will definitely be using this idea when I start making my cards again. This is much better than trying to build up with just Mod Podge. Have a Blessed day.
Oh yes, this probably would work on your cards. Do a test first, just to make sure, but I am sure you thought of that already. Have fun!! Hugs, Joanne
Cute tfs.🤗
Hi,thanks for the snow tip Joanne ,looks great take care xx
hi jo love it xxx
Thank you for your videos
I am glad that you are enjoying them Betty, thank you. Hugs, Joanne
Hi, Joanne! This turned out really nice! I love the little Snowbabies, too. tfs
Thank you Sam, that means a lot coming from such a creative lady as you. Hugs, Joanne
What a super idea for snow. I never would have thought of that. I used to use "Spackle", a drywall hole filler. A tad stiff but you could make points out if it. like stucco. Another really cute vignette for your collection. Will chat later - still have packing to do. Going to Mexico on Friday, so getting out of this berg!! Take care and Hugs G/F!!!
That is right, I forgot about your Mexico trip. I bet you are so excited. I hope you have tons of fun. Be safe and what ever you do, don't drink the water or eat the fruit outside of your resort. I made that mistake years ago and honestly thought I was going to die!! Hugs, Joanne
Great diy joanne...i have used the Fake snow that you purchase but it seems like it dries out before you can use it again the next time which is expensive and I have also tried using glue and epsons salt and that is kind of messy but I will definitely give the mod podge and baking soda a try it looks like it works great!
That is one of the amazing things about this mixture, just keep in sealed in a zip-loc bag and it will keep for our for a couple of days, although, as I mentioned, it will thicken up the longer that it sits. Funny, once the air hits it, as when you are working with it, it doesn't take long for it to start to harden. Have fun. Hugs, Joanne
What a great share Joanne!
If you had done this tutorial last month I would have put "snow" on everything 😂
Your snow baby display is so darling.
I hope I remember this next year! 💖 Leah
Yes, you and me both, everything would have had snow on it!!! So glad you enjoyed. Hugs, Joanne
That was awesome!! And so easy!! TFS!!
Thanks Frankie. Hugs, Joanne
I love it Joann! It is precious! Where did you find your skaters? I will definately try it with my grandchildren. And you have the hands of a 30 yr old! I'm jealous! Lol
Hi Linda. I found the Snowbaby skaters in a décor piece where the skaters were supposed to move around when the piece was plugged in, but it didn't work. I knew this when I purchased it, but I thought I could use the figures and the trees for a project at some point. Have fun with your Grandkids doing this. And no matter how messy they get, the mixture cleans up with just water from the skin. My hands are compliments of my Mom, she had beautiful hands - thank you so much!! Hugs, Joanne
I am so pleased that you made this video. Your creation will look adorable. Maybe you covered this but what are you using for the figurines to set on ? Looks like paper ?
The Snowbabies, the tree and the paper came from a piece I hauled a while back. It was Snowbabies skating on a pond and was supposed to move around but it was broken (I knew that when I bought it). I took it apart and used the Snowbabies, a tree and part of the pond as the surface for them the skate on. So glad you liked it. Hugs, Joanne
Do we get to see the final review of the completed project?
All I did additional to what I showed at the end of the video was to add just a bit more 'snow' to the areas that had gaps and I sprinkled a bit more glitter on it, otherwise, it is the same. Hugs, Joanne
Hi! Love this. What type of glitter would you use for the snow?
This was such a while back that I can't remember, but I would use the finest glitter that you can find. That would give it a more subtle and light effect. So glad that you enjoyed this project. Thanks. Hugs.
I just tried this method on my dollhouse roof, but this morning i see rust color coming through the Soda and Mod Pogue mix I made it thick on the roof too. i wonder if the baking soda reacted to the wooden roof wood ? It is just a plain wood without shingles or primed. but also I see rust color coming onto my painted white decoration gingerbread too .
I am sorry this happened to you. I has been a long time since I did this technique and I believe I did it on a white surface. I know I have not done it on a dark surface. It sounds like it may not work well on a dark surface, and it would need to be painted white first before applying the 'snow'. I hope you are able to fix your project.
@@batthriftcrazy1959 I added more snow and it is fixed now
@@allexx123 Oh, that is great. So glad it worked out.
Will the snow dissolve or change color. How long does it last? Will it last inside a acrylic cube... 4in cube?
I can say that the snow that I made for that video is still intake and has not changed color. I have no idea if it will last inside of an acrylic 4" cube however. If you try it, good luck and have fun. Hugs.
@@batthriftcrazy1959 thank you. Awesome video btw...
How long does it last? Is it sturdy? Thanks
I have only done this one time. The piece that I did it on is still intact, so I know that it lasts for quite some time as I did this a few years ago. Hugs.
I thought the snow would be solid, but unfortunately it is not even though I followed your video exactly, what could be the reason?
I wish I could tell you. Mine came out solid. Maybe play around, in small amounts, with the amount of each ingredient. It has been such a long time since I have done this. Good luck with it. Hugs.
Does it yellow over time?
Nope, not yet and I did this a couple of years ago. Hugs.
@@batthriftcrazy1959 great! I will definitely be using this
@@oL5re9re55ion Great, best of luck. You will have to play around with the amount of ingredients that you use until you get the consistency you want.
