We just made this craft a few weekends ago at a Winter Luau. Usually, for this snowy and tropical party we make sand art. However, my local craft store was out of sand art bottles. What to do? Well, since it was the night before the party ( I shouldn’t admit that, should I?) I had to think quickly. So, we created our very own mini islands instead. The girls loved them, and looked forward to putting them in their rooms as a year long piece of summer. This is a craft we will defiantly be doing again! As I slip on my LLBean slippers over my freezing feet, and look out the window at the slowly melting snow, I kind of wish I had my own little island, too.

How to make your own island:

Materials: a small round glass bowl (I used tiny fish bowls), sand (either colored or uncolored), sea shells, mini umbrellas, tiny palm trees, etc.

Directions: Throw them in the bowl, sit back and enjoy!
