Cornstarch, 2 tablespoons

Hot water, ⅔ cup

You want to have about two cups, so grate as much of the bar as you can without taking off any fingers.

2. Add the cornstarch, hot water, and glitter if you've decided to go that route.

Choose wisely.

3. Use an electric mixer on high for about two minutes to blend your ingredients together.

Stiff peaks should form. If you don't have an electric whisk, it'll take about 5 minutes of hard hand-whisking.

4. Brush the mixture directly onto your tree.

You can use either a paint brush or your hands.

5. Your fake snow will dry within 15 minutes.

The mixture works on real trees, fake trees, or decorations as long as it has time to dry.

6. Bask in the glory of your snowy tree.
