How To Make Snow for Winter Dioramas | Model Realistic Snow Effect Using Simple Materials

Hi from Miss Diorama. In this video I show you how I make the snow effect on my winter Dioramas. Below is the list of materials I use to create snow for my dioramas and models;
1. Plasterer’s Joint Compound (don’t use Plaster of Paris because it will set too quickly)
2. Coarse Texture Gel - you could add fine sand to acrylic gel medium if you can’t find this product
3. White Acrylic Paint - any brand will do
4. Gloss Gel or Acrylic Gel Medium
5. Modelling paste - Note - you can mix acrylic paint into other acrylic mediums
6. Toilet Paper - must be white
7. White glue or PVA Glue
8. Plastic Jug
9. Stick blender or food processor
10. Water (at least 500mL)
11. Sieve or Strainer
12. White Glitter
13. Various tools such as a Paintbrush, Spatula, Spoon, Palette Knife etc.. for applying Snow
14. Tacky craft glue (you could use your white glue or PVA glue instead of Tacky Glue - this is just a personal choice of mine)
15. A bowl, container or your sink to catch the water when straining the pulp
The batch I make in this video yielded approximately 2 x metric cups of snow material. Note that when the mix dries out, it will reduce in volume. For a thicker or thinner mix, adjust the amount of water, glue, toilet paper and joint compound - less moisture = thicker mix.
This mix is my answer to Sculptamold, but the main difference is that it doesn't set up anywhere near as quickly, which I like because it gives me more time to work with it.

Bonjour Miss Diorama, merci pour votre recette de neige artificiel, grâce au traducteur Google je vais essayer de refaire votre recette, si j'arrive à trouver les produits que vous utilisez en France,
je ne parle pas l'anglais car à mon époque et vu que je suis à la frontière avec l'Allemagne, en 2ème langue à l'école c'était l'Allemand, j'adore votre travail , mais moi je débute dans les maquettes, je suis à la retraite depuis peu et je voudrais faire plaisir à mes petits enfants et leurs créer un petit village de Noël, je voudrais encore vous demander si vous pouviez mettre dans vos futur tutos quelques dimensions de vos petites maisons, je vous remercie d'avance, au plaisir de voir de nouvelles vidéos, Patrick
