Amazing DIY Involving Sand Projects

If you’re a summertime lover and a total beach person, then you’re definitely familiar with just how many awesome things can be done with or made out of sand. You’ve probably already made your fair share of sand castles and sculptures on the beach, but did you know that you can still make awesome DIY projects out of sand once you leave the beach too?

Check out these many awesome summery projects made from, involving, or inspired by the sand you love to frolic in by the seaside!

Frame sand imprints

Do you love the look of your children’s foot prints in the sand when you take them to the beach? Do you like writing messages in it each time you go and then taking pictures of them to keep for later?

Summer sand centre piece

we suggests finding an awesomely shaped glass dish or bowl with a wide, flat bottom, filling it with soft sand from your favourite beach (or synthetic sand from the craft store) and creating your own summertime scene in it using figurines, real sea shells, and some cocktail umbrellas! We love how customizable this idea is.

Rustic 3D sand picture

Instead of making something out of flowing, loose sand, we suggests making a backdrop out of it! Once you’ve created your sand canvas, you can make an artistic scene on it using other beach-like materials, like water worn twigs, dried star dish, shells, and jute string.

Sandcastle sand art

how to create lines and fill spaces as though you’re painting just by using a bit of sand and glue. It’s a great way to bring the beach home so your kids don’t miss it too much after the holidays!

DIY molded sand bowl

This layered, “dripping” sand bowl might be the coolest DIY sand option on our entire list! Despite how complicated it looks, you’ll find that it’s quite a simple piece to create as long as you don’t mind a little bit of mess (and if you’re like us, you won’t).

Sandy pillar candles

We has found what we think might be the easiest, and therefore the greatest, way to make a plain set of pillar candles into a beautiful summer centre piece!
