HAS ANYONE EVER USED REAL SAND (LIKE THE KIND AT THE BEACH OR KIDS SAND BOXES) ON A CARD OR SCRAPBOOK PAGE? IF SO CAN YOU SHARE A PICTURE AND THE WAY THAT YOU SECURED IT TO THE PAPER???? I THINK IT WOULD LOOK SO COOL WITH THE NEW CRAB AND CO. STAMP SET. THANKS A MILLION PM ME AT [email protected] JEANNINE
Here's one I made last summer with real sand: Hello From the Beach
I believe I just used the Zig Two-Way glue pen for this one. I haven't sent it to anyone yet & the sand seems to still be sticking just fine.
My dh suggested using real sand on a card I made with Crab & Co, but I decided it would be too messy. So I used sand paper instead!! Same look without any mess.
Use sand from craft store and not the beach! The sand from the beach is filled with micro-organisms that could damage your finished project (and potentially stink!). Craft sand is really fine and adheres more easily, too. Plus, it's not very "green" to use real beach sand for crafts. I live in CA, can you tell?

In a Pre-K class I was subbing in they "painted" with kool-aid and when it dries it looks like sand. No idea about lasting power but it was neat because it also smelled good.
