DIY: Sand art painting

We've been doing some fun sand art projects. Here's one we did the other day.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Color sand
Squeeze bottles
Tray or cake pan
Glue
Paper

I filled a bunch of squeeze bottles with color sand. I used candy melting squeeze bottles. I like how it keeps a steady flow of sand while pouring.

First place paper in tray and start making designs or drawing with glue.

Now pour sand on top of the glue drawing.

Once all the glue surface is covered slowly lift paper to remove sand.

Allow to dry and hang your work of art.

What do you see H's painting? or N's painting? Don't worry there's no wrong answer :)
Hope this gives you some inspiration. Have a great weekend!

    Thanks for this! My sister-in-law actually just gave us several jars of color sand a few weeks ago and I tried it with Anna this morning. She had trouble squeezing the glue and "draw" at the same time so I helped a lot. But she poured the sand on her own. It was one of those projects that I probably did most of the work, but she was happy with the end result. I will be doing it again when she's older.

    Yours turned out great. I love your simple crafts.

      Hehe yes I can see those too. I love how everyone interprets art differently. Yes I thought color sand was the coolest thing when I first tried it. :)

    Maybe a snake in Hs. I noticed the dark blue mostly in Ns. Great idea to contain the sand in aluminum baking pans too.

    That is so great!! I remember doing this in gradeschool, but we weren't cool enough to have colored sand.. so I just used dirt. haha :) I'm also amazed at how long it sticks on for!
