Ok! I give up trying to find this stuff on my own, heh.

Anyway, I built my wife a large outdoor miniature diarama for Christmas and I’m wanting to do a winter theme for her opening (the door), and I’m rather stumped on these.

So far, the best solution I found was snow powder/flakes and spray on adhesive, but I’m definitely open to something else (that’s not overly costly, 🤷‍♂️. I spent a looooot on this so far).

It will have a dirt base, so the snow needs to adhere to that as best as possible.

    White glue and baking soda, you may need a decent amount to spread around. If you glue down some cotton balls below, you can simulate little mounds of snow when you spread the glue+baking soda mix on top

      Although it’s a pretty sheltered location, but wouldn’t the baking soda dissipate with any moisture? Humidity, rain, and/or snow?

      Edit: I just thought about it, and what I’ll do is run an experiment. I can place some near my kitchen sink’s handle. Water dripping from my hand and the humidity should give me a good idea how it’d work outside.

        Curious to hear how the experiment turns out, moisture wasn’t a consideration for my application all those years ago. You could be right, but I feel like baking soda with the glue might hold the moisture in
