August Craft

Sandy Bottles

• Spread out the newspaper on your working surface.
• Place some sand on the board.
• Take any colored chalk and roll it in the sand, until the sand turns that color.
• Put the funnel in the bottle.
• Lift the board and empty the sand into the funnel.
• Take the stick and make a few bumps in the sand.
• Repeat steps 2-6, using a different color of sand each time, until the bottle is 1-2 cm ( 1/2 inch) less than full. If you are using a bottle cap be sure to fill the bottle to the top.
• Press the sand down firmly, be careful not to move the bottle around or the sand will smudge.
  If you are using the glue, pour it in to the remaining 1-2 cm (1/2 inch) of the bottle, and
  leave to dry.
• If you are using the bottle cap screw it on. Tidy up!
