Sand Ornaments by Creative Artworks. Real beach sand is used by the artist to create and mold each beach ornament. Coastal Gifts, where you also find a great selection of Sand Ornaments, explains the technique: "Sand casting is an age-old art form which begins by pressing an object into the sand. The impression that remains is filled with plaster, then cures for several days. The result is a three dimensional ornament with sand as its coating." To see how this is done, click Beach Craft with Sand Plaster Mold!
Each little Grain of Beach Sand is visible on this anchor ornament! To make this Sand Ornament, draw an anchor on wax paper, then glue on sand. Once dry, the wax paper can be peeled off. Pretty cool. Click on the link for the detailed tutorial.
I suppose you could also just glue sand to cardboard cut outs! Beach Sand Ornaments from Seaside Inspired.
The Holidays collection at Beach Grass Shop includes lovely Snow Flake Sand Ornaments made with sand from Maine beaches.
Sand ornaments by Beach Scapes by Tracey. Little bits and pieces were glued onto the sand to create mini beach scenes.
These are made of glass, stucco concrete blend and, of course, beach sand. By Carriage Oak Cottage.
This little beach sand ornament starts with a basic blue ball. Paint on bands of glue and pour beach sand onto the glue. Dab a bit of glue onto the small shells, press into sand around the middle band, and let dry. Via BHG.

Very cute!
You know what I have found, Maya? The glass ornaments with sand and shells can get really heavy. I just dropped one and got sand everywhere the other day. I think they might be better in a plastic ball ornament.
I love the sand cast ones featured here. Great ideas!

I'm so glad to have seen these. Makes me miss the beach. These ornaments are beautiful.

Love these!
I am really interested in making the wax paper craft. I have some sand from trip I had to Manhattan Beach. I brought home some sand in a pickle jar. I have glue and wax paper too. I don't work till 2:30 tomorrow. I now have craft plans! Thanx
