Supplies for Glitter Sand Pictures:
Sand – you don’t need to travel to the coast to get sand. Just sneak some from your neighbors sand box. pencil – to draw your picture glue – plain old white glue works great heavy paper – we used cardstock tray – something to catch the extra sand
First, draw any fun picture you like onto your heavy paper. Since our sand is from the beach, we drew beach pictures. Then place your paper onto a tray for the gluing and glittering. Do this now so that your glue doesn’t shift after you’ve poured it. Now pour the glue right over the pencil pattern. Try to stay in the lines as your sand will stick to the glue where ever you put it.
Next, take a spoonful of sand and shake it over the glued paper. It doesn’t matter if it falls in big clumps. Once the whole surface of glue has been glittered with sand, carefully shake the excess off. The glue is still wet, so don’t be too aggressive in shaking off the sand.
You’ll need to let this dry over night before you hang it. The next day, you’ll want to shake off any extra sand again.
Now they’re ready to display. These are going to look great in our Beachy Bathroom!
