Use construction paper and sand to create colored "sand paper" to make unique mandalas!

Steps

• Step 1
  Using the SAFE-T Compass, draw a circle measuring 8-1/2" in diameter on a piece of construction paper. Mix four parts glue to one part water. Brush glue mixture onto the circle shape.
• Step 2
  Sprinkle sand onto glue. Allow it to dry. Brush away excess sand.
• Step 3
  Repeat Steps 1 & 2 to make additional colors of sanded-paper. Each student will need one black base paper and three or four colors to complete a mandala (students can share scraps). Cut out each colored circle.
• Step 4
  To make designs, fold one circle into fourths. If desired, use the pencil to draw designs. Cut out the design like you would when making a snowflake. (Save the scraps to use later.)
• Step 5
  Glue shape on black base.



• Step 6
  Continue making shapes and gluing them onto the base until design is complete.
