Photo frame

Materials required

Card paper
Glue
Colour sand
Cellotape
Thick plastic sheet

Cut two rectangle pieces in cardpaper of measurement 2" more than the size of a normal photo. Mark 1.5" on all sides of one piece of cardpaper and cut out the inner rectangle.

Draw the desired shape on the front piece. Apply glue and spread the coloured sand on a small portion. Invert and remove the excess sand. Repeat for each colour sand seperately. Allow it to dry. If required outline is to be given with fabric colours. Cover the sand with plastic sheet by sticking with cellotape on the backside.

Stick the thick plastic sheet to the backside of this piece as a cover for the photo. Now stick both the rectangle pieces together from 3 sides, leaving one side open to put the photograph. Use cellotape to bind the sides.

Finally attach a thick piece of cardpaper on the back side to give support to the photo frame to make it stand.

Sand Painting

Materials Required

Sand-various colours

A good design

Trace paper

Fevicol

Water Colours

Varnish

Thick chart paper or wooden board

First trace the design on the paper or board. Apply fevicol to the design part by part and after covering every area that needs the same colour, sprinkle the coloured sand on it. Leave it for a minute and then reverse it on a paper, so that the excess sand falls off. The sand sticks only in that place where fevicol is applied. Continue the same process to fill all the colours.

Use water colours to give outlines and in case any colour sand is appearing dull, you can give it a coat of water colour also to make it bright.

Give it a coat of varnish.
Your sand painting is ready.
