The advantage of do-it-yourself wedding accessories is that they are unique, and even if two people make jewelry, focusing on one master class, they will get exclusive and completely different accessories. Also, homemade jewelry is most often a budget option, as is the case with our focal element. All you need is to find sand that you can take even on the beach, if you have such an opportunity. However, if you live in a city, you can order sand online. Also prepare dyes that will fit into the color scheme of the wedding.
So, for starters, you need to pour sand into special plastic containers or molds, it is best disposable, because the dye can leave stains. In each mold you need to add a little clean water, in the proportion of 1 tablespoon of water to a glass of sand.
Now is the time to paint our sand. Use food coloring. For a glass of sand, you will need about 5 drops of dye, but if you want a brighter and more saturated shade, add more drops of dye. Carefully move sand with dye using a wooden stick. You should get a beautiful, uniform color.
Put the sand on the baking paper and place in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 10 minutes. This is necessary in order to dry the sand in which we added water. Remove the sand from the oven and leave it overnight so that the moisture finally evaporates..
At the next stage, pour the finished colored sand into a glass container and plant a small plant in the center. Stone rose, which is a very unpretentious plant, looks best in such a composition. Wonderful focal elements for decorating the wedding hall are ready!
