2 parts Ivory Snow or similar soap powder (not liquid)
1 part Water
Food colouring
Mix Ivory Snow and water and beat until it is the consistency of whipped cream. Divide the
mixture into paper cups or small bowls and add food colouring to each container.

Use this mixture as you would use any paint with brushes. This can also be used as "snow" for
snow pictures or on a Christmas tree as pretend snow (take a handful and rub
on branches. Let dry).

Faux snow:
l lg. bar Ivory soap
food grater
mixing bowl
2/3 c. Sta-flo concentrated liquid starch
2 Tbs. water
l Tbs. Wee crafts diamond dust glitter (it's the BIG-sized clear glitter)
l Tbs. Cretive-beginnings diamond dust glitter (Gold ultra fine)
Grate soap on "large grate" side into bowl. Add liquid starch & begin mixing on low until
starting to blend. Then, slowly graduate to higher speeds until it begins looking fluffy. Add
the water & mix on med. to high speed until it gets to the consistency you prefer. Then
add glitter & CAREFULLY mix on slow speed until blended thoroughly. (The glitter isn't
very noticeable until snow is applied). Place in container or on project and enjoy! And
guys, it really, really, looks like the real deal. Just thought I'd share.

Whipped Snow

New Recipe from
Margie Stillwell
1/2 cup Ivory Flakes
1/2 cup water

Audubon, Minnesota
With an egg beater, whip together Ivory Flakes and water. Use this mixture to "paint" any
kind of snow scenes: snowman, wintery pictures, etc. Dries overnight. Smells good
and has a raised texture!

I finally came up with a combination for whipped snow without Ivory or Lux Flakes that are not
available anymore..... Any complexion bar soap, (Camay, Ivory, Dove, etc).
Grate or peel bar soap in a large bowl with potato peeler into 2 cups boiling water, (about a
half cup of peelings).   Add about a quarter cup of liquid laundry starch, whip
on high with electric mixer.     Add more soap peelings if not stiff enough.....And create! It
dries hard and looks like fresh fallen snow on my Christmas tree and the whole
house smells divine. Here is a tree preserver recipe also:       One quart 7-Up,   One quart
water, 2 teaspoons bleach. Add daily to tree container to keep tree fresh and
needles from falling.
