- 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.
- Do not press too hard or dig into
the card. Rather press gently and push from just outside/behind
the cutline.
- *Adult supervision is required with younger children.
- 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.
