Sand Art Crafts

Unity Sand Ceremony?

I am looking for sand to use in a unity wedding sand ceremony. I want pre-dyed sand, I do not want to dye my own. I have found several sites and locations with colored craft sand, but I cannot find BOTH of the colors I need... I have found GOLD but I also need GARNET (a maroon color). Does anyone know where to find craft sand in this shade?

1. I just did this for my wedding, and I do not know where you are located, but I found mine at a Ben Franklin crafts store. It was actually in the kids section by toys and other crafts for kids. It was there because of sand art crafts they had. I looked all over in other areas of other stores, with no luck. So, try a craft store that has a lot of variety and look by the kids stuff. They had a ton of different colors!!! Actually, the sand is really cheap as it is for kids, so it is not expensive even though it is a "craft store". Mine cost $1.50 or so a bag. Congratulations!
2. Skip the expensive craft store, go to your local PET store. They carry many colors of sand and gravel, at a much more reasonable price than expensive craft sand, plus you don't need to pay for shipping.
3. I actually found a site with 40 different sand colors and they have a maroon color as well. I guess you can order it from them since the store is in Ohio. I'm not sure if you live there or not. The website is http://www.elyriaweddingminister.org/Unity_Page1.html I hope this helps some.
4. Try Micheals or a Joann's Craft stores. Maybe even Toys "R" Us.
