| Method |
Select a design of your choice. Now according to
the size of your design, get the hard board cut. Next,
trace the design on to the hard board using the carbon sheet. 
Put glue on a part of the design. Then scatter the sand over the glue
evenly. Pat the sand thoroughly so that the sand fixes firmly onto the hard
board. Keep it sometime for drying. Now reverse the hard board so that excess
sand falls out. In a similar way, complete the design by filling the sand, part
by part. 
The sand that is usually available in the market comes in rather dull shades
so, in order to brighten the shades you can paint the design with a
quality paint like fevicryl or any good oil paint. When the paint dries,
put 2-3 coatings of varnish
on the design.
Now your sand work is complete. You can frame the work
and use as a wall decoration.
