I’ll tell you right away you can really make a very good and main original gift out of the sand (admit how you sometimes want to wipe everyone’s nose, showing that they say my best present is the best). For example, a slipper of sand, a rose, slippers, a house and much more that the soul wishes ...
I'll tell you about the technology itself
Part crafts becomes the most banal and unscrupulous way. For example, a flower made of sand. A wire frame is made and neatly coated with PVA glue, and then sand. Its leaves are prepared in the following way. Cut out the petal you need from a plastic bottle and coat it with glue and sand. Then apply another coat. After seven to eight hours, carefully separate the sand copy from the plastic one. Next, you need to attach the sand petal to the stem. This is done with glue and sand. Attention, gluing is a rather dreary occupation ... Do not rush!
Another part of the crafts, such as shoes, is made more difficult. First, prepare the frame from plasticine and coated with some oil. Then slowly, in pieces, glue and sand are applied to it. And so, step by step, the entire frame is covered.
I’ll make a reservation right away, a lot will depend on what kind of glue you can buy! Do not rush on the first one! Need a thick glue. This is usually furniture PVA or construction PVA. Better ask the seller at the hardware store which glue is thicker. Do not buy PVA in office supplies. It is diluted there and is not suitable for such work.
In principle, first you need to practice something small. See how glue behaves, how it sticks together sand, how long it takes to wait. And only after that proceed to something more complicated!
