We all know what happens when snow tries to come inside (flashback to Frosty the Snowman’s tragic meltdown moment).

While real snow isn’t exactly a feasible interior décor option, - (we don’t even like going OUT in it!)...

Faux Glowing Snowballs can go anywhere – even the warmest and coziest of living spaces!

You’ll need: (affiliate link proceeds from my blog are donated to no-kill animal shelters and rescue organizations. Shop through these links to help raise money for monthly donations):


Clear ornaments, spray adhesive, a drop cloth, glass frosting spray, Epsom salt, and fairy lights.


First, remove the hanger from the ornaments.



Spray the frosting spray all over the surface.

Once the frosting spray has fully dried, apply the spray adhesive.

Carefully roll the ornament over the Epsom salt to coat the surface.

Respray and recoat as needed until the surface is covered by the salt and allow to fully dry.

Insert the fairy lights into the opening of the ornaments – one strand of fairy lights can be used in multiple snowballs.

Arrange with evergreen branches or other natural elements.

    I know it’s April but I just ordered all my things so I can get these out of the way now. I already have 4 fairy light strings, the ornaments and the epsom salt so I just need a few other things. These are just adorable!! I have always admired these. I am going a step further and adding epsom salt flakes along with the large salt pieces, as I think this will add to the real snow look. Love love love these!
