bottle
Tacky Glue
1

Carbon Transfer Paper
Needed to transfer the pattern
Instructions
Use blue acrylic paint to paint the sides and top of the wooden plaque. Allow to dry.
Transfer the landscape pattern onto the wooden plaque using the Carbon Transfer paper.
Begin at the top of the picture and add glue to the top section with a paint brush. (Add a few drops of water to the glue before painting it on).
While the glue is still wet, add the colored sand of your choice in a thick coat. Tap off extra sand.
Work down from top to bottom, adding glue to a section and then sand. Tap off extra and then move to the next section.
Experiment with bright colors for more interest.
Once all the sand is dry, use black acrylic paint and a small brush to add in outlines.
