DIY Snowballs
One of the things I love most about winter is snow. The way it falls down from the sky and softly lands on the ground, leaving us with a fresh layer of powder that turns our landscape into a true winter wonderland. I simply love everything about it. If you have kids, there is one thing you can’t get around once it starts to snow: having a snowball fight. Besides being fun to throw at each other, snowballs can also be a nice form of winter decoration. The problem with real snowballs is, however, that they melt. And let’s face it, not everybody lives in a country where it snows during the winter months. Luckily, these DIY snowballs allow you to have a white Christmas no matter where you live.
Making your own DIY snowballs is relatively easy. It is, however, a messy job so keep that in mind when you’re starting with this winter DIY project. I would highly recommend you to make them outside in your yard as this really is not something you want to do inside of your home. That being said, to start off with this DIY winter home decor project, you’ll need the following items: styrofoam balls, Snow Tex, a white string, a strong wire, and an old butter knife. For a full guide on how to make these DIY snowballs step-by-step, please check out this tutorial by cottageintheoaks. I’m certain that you will be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to make these fun little winter DIY decor pieces.
