I recently have been loving this DIY sand paint recipe! Not only does it provided superior coverage but it also leaves behind a nice texture on most any surface. Here is what you need! 3 scoops Plaster of Paris 2 scoops or small craft tube of paint 1 scoop of Sand wood block Christmas tree craft kit All you really have to do is combine the 3 ingredients and mix well.

These started as 2x4 scrap pieces I grabbed from the garage. I first stained them with…

Keep in mind you could use scrap wood or even pallent wood to create this look too. Or if that isn’t…
