Today we decided to show you a master class on how to create a rainbow in bottles!

To create a bottle of colored sand, we need:

Sand or salt

Suitable jar

colored crayons

piece of paper

colored sand bottle step by step:

First of all, you need to pour a small amount of salt or sand on a clean piece of paper (in the approximate ratio of 1/8 of the total volume of the jar) (Figure 2).

Take a certain color of chalk and rub salt (sand) with it (Figure 3).

Salt will acquire colored granules (Figure 4).

The resulting colored salt(sand) must be carefully poured into a glass vessel (Fig. 5).

Then you should take a new sheet of paper and repeat this procedure with crayons of other colors.

The container must be completely filled with layers of multi-colored sand. In order to make the glass vessel look more interesting, it is necessary to pour colored salt into the container at different angles, while turning the vessel. Just do it very carefully so that the layers of sand do not mix.

Sand bottles - an unusual DIY accessory

Sand bottles captivate with their simplicity and elegance. Sand reminds us of the passage of time, of distant countries and travels, of the sea surf and the mysterious water surface, which beckons and attracts the eye. Still, sand is a symbol of calmness, and at the same time of change, a symbol of an ever-changing universe that maintains divine equanimity.

You can fill the bottle with sand brought from travels, pebbles, shells, unusual nuts and cereals. The most important thing is to rinse and dry the bottle well before pouring sand into it. If you want to fill the bottle with organic ingredients such as colored rice, mung bean, pasta, dry them, and add a little salt. The salt will absorb excess moisture, preventing mold from covering the food.

If you are an active, bright person and you are not attracted to still lifes in natural colors, you can make a colored sand bottle. The role of sand in it will be performed by salt. You can take a big sea ​​salt, you can small "Extra", or you can alternate layers of salt. But before filling the bottle, the salt needs to be colored. There are two ways to color salt. Both are easy to perform and require nothing but patience.

Method one.
You will need salt, gouache, a few mixing bowls, an oven or microwave, and a sieve. We take a drop of gouache, dilute it with a small amount of water, about one tablespoon, mix it with salt. About half a glass of salt to one tablespoon of diluted gouache. Add water, salt or gouache until the salt resembles sticky snow. We paint the salt different colors, lay out in pre-prepared bowls.

The next thing to do is to dry the gouache-colored salt. When all the containers with colored salt are ready, we put them in the oven, along with our clean bottle, at a temperature of 100 degrees. The purpose of this step is to evaporate all the moisture from the salt so that it becomes dry again, BUT already colored. And the bottle in the oven will also dry well inside. Because if inside the bottle it turns out at least one, even the smallest drop of water, you simply will not succeed! After about an hour, we take everything out of the oven and wait until it cools down.

After drying, multi-colored salt comes out solid. To make it loose, you need to knead the salt and sift through a sieve. To knead it, we need a bag and a rolling pin. It is better to take a thicker bag, and woven is best, because salt easily tears polyethylene. We spread the salt from the jar into the bag. Grind the salt with a rolling pin (well, or with something heavy that is at hand). The second option is to grind hard colored salt in a mortar. Next, sift the salt through a sieve. Large non-sifting grains can be ground again with a rolling pin.

Method two.
Only salt is suitable for this method. "Extra" She is the smallest. We need colored crayons, salt, a strainer, several cups. Grind the colored chalk into dust, for this, use a mortar or just a rolling pin. Mix it with salt. In order to get a different color, mix the powder from several crayons. Sift the resulting mixture through a sieve. The bottle filler is ready!

Now let's talk about design. Salt can be poured in thin or thick layers, straight or obliquely. You can add other decorative elements to the main filler, beads, beads, shells, pebbles, glass pebbles for aquariums, even lace if you want.

Pour salt (or sand) into a jar using a watering can, or a funnel twisted from a thick sheet of paper. Sand can be poured at different angles, this will make the pattern more intricate. In general, in this process, you can fully show your imagination. So don't be afraid to experiment color combinations, as well as in methods.

For some, it is not possible to immediately make the filler inside the bottle lie at an angle. The secret is simple - tilt the bottle in the direction where the filler is skewed. It is convenient to pour sand into a bottle using a funnel made of paper.

After we have filled the bottle, we need to close it tightly and decorate it just as beautifully. by the most simple option is a decoration with a dense braid or rope. Close the bottle with a cork and tightly wrap the rope, braid or tape around the neck and the lid itself. From above it can be fixed with transparent glue, for example "Titan

The bottles can also be filled with cereals. It also turns out very even nothing

A bottle with a sand painting is impressive and surprising - how mysteriously could the chaos of sand grains fit into such amazing and complex patterns, color structures and even full-fledged drawings? Now it's not a secret! Our master class will open the veil of secrecy.
