Colored sand?
Anyone know where to purchase some? I checked Joanns & Michaels but they don't carry the colors I need (which are black and white).
TIA!!

Call AcMoore - they might.
And how quick do you need it.
I wonder if you call any of these places, maybe they can specially order it for you

Re: Colored sand?
This is where I got mine from for my wedding (black and white were 2 of the 3 colors I used).

Re: Colored sand?
I found this, I dont know when you need the colored sand for.
Instructions to make your own colored sand.
Materials Needed:
Sand
Food Coloring
Glass or Metal Bowl (you can also use paper cups, paper bowls, or baggie)
Instructions:
Use one bowl for each color you want to make. Place the desired amount of sand in the bowl. Pour on enough water to barely cover the sand, then add a generous amount of food coloring to each container. Stir and set the bowl aside and let it sit until it is the desired color (this can take a while). Once the sand has reached the desired color, empty out the extra water, and pour the sand onto paper towels to dry.
Suggestions from Anna Ward: Anna suggests using salt and colored chalk to create colored sand masterpieces. She suggests rubbing the side of the chalk against the salt until it is the desired colored.

That's an idea too! We need it for our wedding, for the sand ceremony.
Thanks for all the suggestions!!
