Cotton balls can be unrolled and fluffed to create long garlands of "snow"
Gently unroll the cotton ball
Each ball is actually one long strip of cotton
If you look at the strip of cotton you will notice that it is made up of fibers laying in one direction.
Tear up the strip following this grain
Fluff the cotton wool gently until you have an even and thin layer
