Sand Art Party Pedestal

Sand Art Party Pedestal

By Marisa Pawelko

Summary:

Of course you know that making sand art is a super fun party activity, but did you know that you can also create a festive pedestal platter for your party with Sandtastik’s Classic Colored Sand? Choose sand in the colors that match your home décor or party theme!  The creative possibilities are endless!

What’s Needed:

To get started select a variety of Sandtastik Classic Colored Sand for your project. For this party pedestal we went with an assortment of beautiful bright colors!

Remove the cap from the bottle and carefully cut off the neck of the bottle with your saw.

Fill the bottle with layers of Sandtastik Classic Colored Sand.

For this project we created a rainbow effect of thick layers. To achieve more intricate thinner layers, we recommend using a Sand Art Funnel for greater control.

Continue filling the bottle with sand until it is completely full. Then gently tap the bottle to allow the contents to settle. Fill the bottle again to the brim and then tap again and fill more if necessary. Continue tapping and filling until the sand is really packed in well. This will help to preserve the sand arts appearance, allowing it to withstand being moved around with use. 

Now you are ready to connect the sand art pedestal base to the plate. With a toothpick, mix E6000 glue with the last color of sand you used to fill the bottle.

Using the toothpick, carefully apply the mixture to the top of your sand art creation.

Gently place the plate on top of the base, making sure it is properly centered. Rotate the plate to spread the glue uniformly. Set the piece aside until the glue is fully hardened. Then break out the cookies because you’re ready to use your beautiful custom sand art party pedestal!
