Out of my artistic attempts at the aurora borealis from the last craft:
Simple Craft: Little House in a Watercolor Aurora Borealis (in which I give much more detail about these aurora borealis crafts), I chose this one:

Then I cut out snow and an igloo, drawing snow bricks on the igloo with a pencil.

Next I put a little clear glue on a paper napkin and applied the glue with a cotton swab to both the snow and the igloo at the same time.
