Eco friendly spray adhesive and fake snow powder? Or something else that can be easily found in our little city?
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.
Honestly, white fabric might be the most elegant and simple solution. Bonus if you can find one that has little glittery bits in it (but not so glittery that it gets on things). Freshly fallen snow is smooth and unblemished, and the contours of fabric simulate that well enough. Just pack it flush with little contours underneath and you're gold.
Quilt batting (dacron batting, fibre-fill, terylene are other names) might be good. It's white fluffy stuff you put over foam to make cushions.
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.
Is it a diarama of a car park?
