Sand Art

Rae enjoys arts and crafts. During the weekends, she would ask to go and do the sand art or similar craftwork at the mall. She had a go at sand art recently. It is quite a common craftwork available usually at a mall or children's workshop.

First, you get to pick our your picture. This is actually an adhesive piece of paper. The shape of the cartoon and text has already been die-cut. All you need is to use a little sharp pick (tooth-pick) to lift the die-cut shape on the top layer. This will reveal a sticky layer (the adhesive layer).

Pour any colour sand over the bottom layer. Brush or tap out the excess sand. Voila! You will then have a shape 'painted' with a colour sand of your choice. (pic above: peeling the layer, and pour colour sand over the adhesive layer)

Do the same with other shapes untill you have peeled off every piece of the yellow top. This will result in a colourful picture of shapes at the base. I am not sure what they do at the end part though. I was expecting them to spray a fixer or something but they didn't.
