Who says that in tropical countries like Indonesia, we can not feel a snowy white Christmas. Could, really.

Tropical countries do not recognize the theme of Christmas White Christmas. This is because it is very unlikely in the tropics to snow on Christmas Eve. Even so, it’s not impossible to build a snow white at home.

The first thing to do is to determine the theme, aka White Christmas White Christmas, for Christmas decorations. Prepare all the knick-knacks and silvery white. For example a white-leafed tree, silver flower arrangements, and the Santa sleigh. Administration of these elements in one corner of the room.

If so, it is time we create the main elements he called White Christmas, the snow. Actually, we could have bought artificial snow, which usually packaged in cans or in the form of spray. But there’s no harm in making their own. We can involve the whole family to make. The kids will love this activity.

What is needed? It seems most of you already know, the snow we’d made of styrofoam. Prepare the styrofoam as much as we need. Prepare a fork or similar objects. Ready everyone? Start scraping the surface of styrofoam, to produce a powder-like snow-white foam. Collect the powder was in the container. Keep going, until exhausted or until the Styrofoam considered.

Now it’s time to make it landscape. Prepare a round styrofoam pieces. Split in two, thus forming the mounds. Adjust its placement in the corner, which we will make it snow. Previously, the mound was spread with glue, using brush. The final step, sprinkle the surface of the mound of Styrofoam with powdered snow had made, until smooth. Sprinkle the remaining powder in the vicinity, so it looks like real snow.

Place the ornament on top sweeteners artificial snow. Doll angels, Santa, pine trees, miniature, what you and your family likes. Can also use twigs of dead trees, which were painted white, as a garnish. Ask your child to write the prayers and supplications of Christmas, on a small piece of paper colored. Hang this paper, as a decoration, the tree branch.

Decided to make this decoration, should be ready with the risks. Powdered styrofoam is very light and easily carried by the wind. Therefore, like it or not, we must sweep the floor. Given this inconvenience, decorations should be applied only for one day, during a Christmas party, for example.

So it could also make snow falls in the tropics?
