HOW TO CREATE SANDSCULPTURE

  1. Get your group together to think out what you want to sculpt.
    Remember size matters, but not too high and not too low. If you go to low, it will cave in.

  2. Take the time to layout your sculpture before starting to dig.
    Start piling the sand in the shape of your sculpture.

  3. Then get the sand wet-really wet. Soak the sand.

  4. Next pack the sand-pack the sand tight.

  5. Now it is time to carve.
    All you have to do is just carve away all the sand that does not look your sculpture.
