Bookmark and Share

Hi Anu and Manjula,

Thanks for visiting my blog. I am explaining the method for doing sand painting as per required by both of you

Materials Required

Sand-Various colours
Hard Board framed with cloth
Fevicol or glue
White carbon paper ( if you use black cloth)/ Yellow carbon paper (if yo
Fevicryl-Various colours
Brushes

Method
Choose a design you want to trace. Next, trace the design on to the hard board using the carbon sheet.

Put glue on a part of the design. Then scatter the sand over the glue evenly. Pat the sand thoroughly so that the sand fixes firmly onto the hard board. Keep it sometime for drying. Now reverse the hard board so that excess sand falls out. In a similar way, complete the design by filling the sand, part by part.

You can use fevicryl paints to complete the design.

Now your sand work is complete. You can frame the work and use as a wall decoration.

    Hi Maddie

    Sorry, I had not visited this blog for quite a few days. Thanks a lot for explaining the procedure for sand painting. I’ll also just give it a dry.

    BTW I had a doubt, do we have to mix the colours with the sand before sticking it or we can glue the sand on the design and then paint it with the colours

    Sorry for troubling u again.

    You get colored sands in the market. If you feel the sand color is dull the after gluing give a coat of paint.
