Fake Salt Tutorial

This tutorial will show you what you can use to make fake salt and fake sugar to use on your fake food decorations. I use them when Im doing decoden and my clay miniatures.

I bought some coarse white decorative sand.

Decorative White Sand

This sand works really well at simulating salt and sugar.

Coarse White Sand

Now you can add fake salt on fake pretzels woo hooo. Also I found this decorative sand in the wedding section of the craft store. In the regular kids section there was sand but the white sand there was still like brownish gray. So just check the wedding section, it just seems like they bleached this sand to make it look so white.

and here is a comparison shot between this sand and the Glass Glitter that I used in my fake sugar tutorial.

and I also grinded up this sand to make it finer to make fake powdered sugar I’ll post a pic of that later though. Its cheaper to just grind it up yourself instead of buying a whole new bag of fine sand.

anywho I hope this post was helpful
