I know what you might be thinking. Sand art? Really? Well, I’m here to tell you that sand art isn’t just for kids anymore. I was originally inspired by Sugar and Cloth’s sand art sugar scrub (how fun is that by the way?), then I came across AwwSam’s take on a sand art cake (yes please!), and I was hooked. The bright colors and modern take on sand art got my head spinning with possibilities. Today I want to share with you an easy way to make your own colored “sand” (it’s really salt) and transform it into the perfect summer decor.

See what I mean?! Gorgeousness! Now again, I am partial to ALL THE COLORS, but you could easily adapt these to shades of blue or pink or even just black and white. Go for whatever fits your decor best. And the process could not be simpler, you just need salt and some sidewalk chalk!

The Supplies:

• 5+ containers of regular table salt
• 48 Count Sidewalk Chalk
• Zester
• Large hurricane glasses
• Candles or faux air plants
• Gold Paint Pen

Begin by simply grating the chalk into a cup or more of salt. The more chalk you grate, the deeper the color. Then just mix the two together to get your perfect shade.

Once I mixed each color, I put it in a ziploc bag to keep it contained. Just look at all the pretty colors!

Now channel your inner kid and layer the colored salt into your glasses anyway you like.
