Sand and Shell Vases

So long island has amazing sand, half purple, half white. The trick is being able to get the purple without the white. Now for that you need skills. 

Once you have the sand and some shells or rocks layer the sand with different colors. Now the way I was able to layer this in a really cool tie dye was because I had sand in two different vases before and when I poured them out it combined the layers.

I made one of the vases only the white rocks, and the other the purple shell pieces.

Paired with some reed diffusers and it's an awesome beach scene in the house.
