Desert Dream: Sanded Table Number

The DIY Projects:

Sanded Table Number
The items you need: spray adhesive, paper box, colored sand, paint and paint brush, paper with your table number, scissors, and bowls for mixing sand. Prep the sand by mixing different amounts of the colors you want to fade into each other. A lot of yellow with a little orange in the first bowl, an equal amount of both in another bowl, and a lot of orange and a little yellow in the last bowl.

STEP 1: Paint box to create a lighter surface so your color stands out more, let dry
STEP 2: Spray the glue all over one surface of box, spoon lines of sand across the glued area in a gradient pattern, tip off excess sand, let dry
STEP 3: Cut out the number from the paper, place the template over the sanded gradient, spray glue directly over the template, spoon purple sand over the template, remove template and tip off excess sand, let dry
STEP 4: Repeat steps 1-3 for better color and sand coverage
STEP 5: Repeat on all sizes

For best results make sure you let the glue fully dry after each step.
