How to color sand (with food coloring)?

Coloured sand can be used for artwork, floral arrangements, or other decorative purposes. Make a rainbow of different colours!

Instructions

1. Purchase some fine white sand. Many craft supply stores, such as Michaels, sell this.

2. 

   Place the sand in an old blender or food processor along with 1-2 drops of your chosen food colouring. Blend thoroughly.

3. 

   Keep adding 1-2 drops of food colouring at a time and repeat blending until you get the desired amount of colour.

4. 

   If your sand becomes too wet, you will need to set it onto a piece of cardboard to dry out for awhile before storing.

5. 

   Store each colour of sand separately in a glass container with a cork. The cork is important so that the sand does not become hard. Every once in awhile, shake the jar to keep it from turning to "stone"!
