[DIY & Creativity] Cabin Makeover: From Snowy Mess to Fresh New Charm

Cozy Talks & Creative Ideas

Do you guys remember when I personalized my cabin for winter? I added artificial snow to give it that cozy, frosty look. The snow effect is made from a white powder that blooms into fluffy snow once you add water. To make it stick to the cabin, I used some glue and add some cotton—and I even added a bit of glue directly to the cabin itself for extra hold.

Unfortunately, the snow melted and turned into a sand-like powder. Since I used glue on some parts of the snow, it ended up looking a bit sandy in texture. I wanted to showcase this cabin at my first-ever meetup since it’s one of my most well-known builds on social media.

And now, this is how it looks:

I didn’t want my cabin to stay like that, so I decided to customize it again. I first tried sanding, but the glue held so firmly that it risked damaging other parts. Now I’m reworking it and plan to finish today so I can share the result with you all. This is my favorite kit, and I don’t want it to end up messy—I want it to look its best

Thank you for reading. Hope you like it!

What a rip-off that snow disappears! It looked so beautiful.

Are you going to put snow back on?

Check the product you bought online; it might not say it disappears, and you could file a claim.

Oh it looked so beautiful with the snow. So sad it disappeared. I’m curious about your new customization though, can’t wait to see your update about it :smiling_face:

I bought and used a powder like snow that I glued on. So far, no issues.
I certainly hope your workaround turns out how you want @Anje_Leonoza_Mira

That was my worry with mine. SO my husband bought an artificial snow, not water based in the orange app.. will ask him for the link.
Perhaps you can use that to cover it up.

There’s no notes whether it will disappears or not. No, I will not put it back. It’s also messy.

Thank you. I am currently working on it and it’s kinda challenging. Haha

That’s good to hear. I bought the cheapest one. I am expecting it will really melt.

Yes. And I am also researching some alternatives if the snow will melt, but still not showing anything. Lol

May I ask for the link too? I wanted to create another custom kit with snow. This one failed.

Thank you, Ate Jill. :slight_smile: I am now customizing it for a newer version. Haha
