How do I make my sandart picture?
PEEL
Place the sticker card on top of a magazine to catch the excess sand. Start in the middle and slowly peel off the first area. Take care not to lift adjoining areas.
POUR
Now choose a colour and pour it over the adhesive area. Turn the card over and tap it on the back to remove the excess sand. Repeat the pouring process on the same area to obtain a darker shade.
PERFECT
Peel off the next area. Pour a different colour and repeat the motion until the image is completely peeled off and coloured.

How do I laminate my SandArt card?
Protect your masterpiece by using the clear plastic bag included with your card.
STEP 1
Cut your plastic bag open so you have a single side thats bigger than your card.
STEP 2
Colour your card first, but not the border. Remove the border.
STEP 3
Place your plastic sheet over the card and stick down onto the border.
STEP 4
Turn your card over and trim the edges.
How to use your home kit
- Clear a table that is the correct height for your Sand Artists.
- Place the trays on the table with a sand bottle in each tray.
- Find two containers and place it on the table for the peel-offs and lifting tools.
- Start in the middle of your card and slowly peel off the first area. Take care not to lift adjoining areas.
- Take your card and place it inside the tray with the colour of your choice.
- Pour sand from the bottle over the area you've peeled off. Turn the card over and tap/flick it on the back to remove the excess sand. Do not rub the sand into the card.
- Repeat the pouring process on the same area to obtain a darker shade.
- Leave the sand in the tray and remove your card.
- Peel off the next area, move to a different tray and repeat the motion until the image is completely peeled off and coloured.
- Once a bottle is empty, unscrew the cap and use the funnel to pour the sand from the tray into the bottle.
- Place your finished card in a plastic bag to protect it.
How to use your lifter
The plastic lifter works best when used as follows:
- Do not press too hard or dig into the card. Rather press gently and push from just outside/behind the cut-line.
- *Adult supervision is required with younger children.
More Ideas from the factory
- Younger children may need help lifting the release paper (but enjoy peeling the paper and pouring the sand themselves).
- Always start with the smaller areas inside an object and remove the background last.
- Mix different colours for interesting variations.
- If the sand gets damp or wet, place in open bowls in the sun/oven until dry.
- To cover a bigger area, first pour a heap of sand on the one side of the area. Slowly tip the card sideways and let the sand roll down the card.
- Avoid working outside on misty days as the sand will get damp. The trays need to be completely dry before you start.
- Once you are an experienced Sand Artist, start with the dark colours to create a neater picture. This could mean you have to remove a bigger area first. Take care not to lift adjoining areas or scratch the sand when you remove the smaller areas.
