Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Delta's Snow complements a trio of foam trees to create a bright, contemporary, sleek look for holiday celebrations this year. And, best of all, this creative trio can be crafted in one-hour our less!
From left to right, Delta's Freshly Fallen Snow™ adds the look of a white blanket of snow. Just like icing a cake, this tree takes on texture with strokes from a palette knife. In center stage, a bold statement in thick white snow, Delta's Fantasy Snow™ adds tiny snowballs with icy glitter texture. And, last but not least, Delta Sparkle Snow™ adds a smooth, sparkly gleam. All of the trees have been trimmed with crystal garlands and white painted dowels are held in place in glass vases with iridescent flat back marbles.
