Sand American Flag

In 2002, with the TV show Survivor growing in popularity, B-Crafty and her boys built in the OCNJ sand sculpting contest the logo for “Survivor Ocean City: Out-Swim, Out-Sun and Out-Spend”. Great memories and fun from that day, proving you can build just about anything in the sand.

Issue #135

Occasion: Beach Time

Category: Sand Sculpting

Materials Needed:

  • Sandy beach
  • Bucket and shovel
  • Red and blue colored Jell-O
  • Flour
  • Star cookie cutter
  • Imagination

Instructions:

  • The first task for the building this one is to make a huge pile of sand to be the surface for the waving American Flag
  • Once the face of the pile is complete, start shaping the flag, the stripes and the area for the stars
  • Add the stripes’ color with the red Jell-O and flour
  • Before adding the blue Jell-O, with the star cookie cutter gently press into the sand and while in place dust a bit of flour into the cutter
  • When the stars are complete, very carefully sprinkle the blue Jell-O around the stars

B-Crafty Tip: B-Crafty likes it when her family participants dress in the theme of the sand sculpture. This adds as a great touch to the photos.
