Homemade Sand Art

 

 

 

I loved making sand art when I was a kid.

My daughter enjoys it too. She likes to see

how it turns out, each one is always different.

Instead of going out and buying a sand art kit,

here is a simple way to make your own with

household items.



 

Materials Needed:

Epsom Salt

Food Coloring

Jar

Small Plastic Bags

Acrylic Paint (if you want to paint the lid)

 

 

 

 

Pour the Epsom salt into the small plastic bags.

I filled the bags about 1/4 of the way full, if you

want to do multiple jars add more salt.

 

 

 

 

Add food coloring to the Epsom salt. The more

drops you add the more opaque your color

will be. I used about 8-10 of each color.

 

 

 

 

Seal the bag & shake. If your color isn't bright

enough, add some more drops & shake again.

 

 



Repeat this step with a different color in each

of your bags. Now you're ready to make sand art!

 

 

 

 

Pour a little sand from each bag in any order

you choose until your jar is full. Pour the sand

unevenly rather than layer on top of layer.

 

 

 

 

Now your sand art is complete!!
