Frost Your Windows the Old Fashioned Way

Back a long time ago people used to make alot of homemade decorations.  Some that I remeber the most were the way people used to frist their windows with epsom salts.  It looked just like frosty cold glass,

Even in Texas.You can do the same thing today.  All you need is epsom salts, white wine or stale beer, a bowl, and a sponge..

Add beer to the epsom salts until you get a good consistancy that will stick to the windows.  Not too thick but not thin either.  Using your sponge blot the epsom salts on the window.  Remember that frost will sort of drift to the bottom and mound up the sides.

When it dries you should have a frosted, chilly window.

When you are ready to remove it just add water and wipe away.

Betcha you guys with the traditional Currier and Ives Christmas can’t do THAT

    I had forgotten the recipe to do this! Not that I need it here in Buffalo now. 2 feet of snow out there now, yikes.

    But, I did get to make old fashioned snow cream :-)
