Sand art is an amazing form of expression.
Today there are some professional sand artists that are so creative it can take your breath away and leave you wanting more.
If you are like many people you will be inspired to give sand art a try after viewing these artists in action.
Of course, you will have to start off with much simpler designs than what they provide but everyone has to start somewhere.
Here are the basic steps for learning how to make sand art.
You need to start with the necessary supplies that include a variety of sand in different colors.
You want to purchase the strained sand for the best results.
Now buy bottles, glitter and modes for making shapes.
After gathering all of your supplies together you need to decide which form of sand art you want to make.
There are two basic forms of sand art.
The simplest is to fill clear bottles or other containers with different layers of sand to create a design.
The other form is to get a platform that will be used as a base to build a sand sculpture on.
It should be some kind of container that can be moved around if you intend to keep the piece you design.
Now take the molds and make castles or whatever else you can think of.
Be creative and have fun.
You can find all the supplies you need at most any craft store or you can order them from an online store.
You can also collect some sand when you are at the beach and use items that you have lying around the house to make sand art.
You can use food coloring and dye the sand and use cups, straws and other items to decorate your designs.
Sand art is an excellent way to be creative while having lots of fun.
You should give it a try.
Who knows, it may become your new favorite hobby.
