Take a bit of the beach home with you by crafting these cool sand-filled bottles. Kids will have fun making these at the beach or cottage and they make a great summer souvenir to take home.
What you'll need:
- Sand
- Newspaper
- Coloured chalk (as many different colours as you like)
- See through glass bottle
- Funnel
- Stick
- White glue or bottle cap
- Any sort of board
How to make it:
- Spread out the newspaper on your working surface.
- Place some sand on the board.
- Take any coloured chalk and roll it in the sand, until the sand turns that colour.
- 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 colour 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!
