Filling the Sand

Using Skewer

Sealing Bottle

Place the funnel over the bottle’s opening. Make sure the bottle is sitting tight so it doesn’t move while filling the sand. Use a spoon to pour the sand in the bottle. Start with your choice of colours.

Repeat this step for multiple colours.

After every colour, use the skewers to make sure there are no empty pockets. Push the skewer down in the middle of the bottle and tap the bottle gently. Repeat this step after using every colour.

Fill the bottle up to the top. Let the sand settle in using gentle taps and the skewers. Pour little craft glue on to the bottle opening and use a skewer to mix the glue with the sand on the top. Let it sit for 5-10 mins and then put the bottle cap.
